topics covered:

More overintellectualization next time, but I've been wanting to mention this one web site for a while. Have been trying to fit it in to a real post to no avail, so let me just take some time out and gush. Trashlog is absolutely the finest site on the Web, by a long shot. I mean, nothing compares.

Here's the RSS feed, which will dump a single piece of beautifully photographed trash in your reader every day.

Now, I guess I could include some amount of overintellectualizing anyway, about making art from the random refuse of the world, or how it's a meditation on the little things that surround us every day, comparing it to my other fave (Quiet American), et cetera, but I don't have anything that the rest of you won't think up in a few seconds. I just think it's really well done and the neatest thing ever.

[A further aside, 15 March 2005: see also APOD, also a pic-a-day site, which provides celestial contrast to Trashlog's eye to the gutter (RSS; click images in the feed for giant versions].

OK, I'm done gushing; thanks for your patience. Next time, back to the usual optimally boring topics; probably statistical analysis in C again.
