Marginal Savings

Published by garin under peoples and projects

Here’s a pretty great conservation idea from changethemargins.com

The premise:

  • Narrower margin settings = more text/page = less paper used = fewer $$ spent (and more trees).

Check out GOOD magazine’s write up on it, here

Carrot Love

Here’s something for those of us who crave a little organization in our web searching: an Open Source Search Results Clustering Engine called Carrot2. Basically, Carrot2 uses clustering algorithms to display search results into thematic categories, making it quite easy for users to navigate and draw out useful content. It’s still in demo version and doesn’t appear to have an image or video search capability, but maybe subsequent versions will address this? Check it out.
