Princeton Architectural Press * Book Description
In Subnature, David Gissen, author of our critically acclaimed Big and Green, examines experimental work by today's leading designers, scholars, philosophers, and biologists that rejects the idea that humans can somehow recreate a purely natural world, free of the untidy elements that actually constitute nature. Each chapter provides an examination of a particular form of subnature and its actualization in contemporary design practice.

Shelley Jackson's INERADICABLE STAIN : SKIN PROJECT GUIDELINES
Author Shelley Jackson invites participants in a new work entitled “Skin.” Each participant must agree to have one word of this story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium.

In the event that insufficient participants come forward to complete the first and only edition of the story within the author’s lifetime, the incomplete version will be considered definitive.

The iCalendar validation project « Jon Udell
I’m delighted to report that two developers of libraries that support iCalendar are collaborating to do just that. Ben Fortuna is the author of iCal4j, which powers the best currently-available online iCalendar validator. And Doug Day is the author of DDay.iCal, a C# iCalendar library. Both iCal4j and DDay.iCal are open source projects.
They’re collaborating, at icalvalid.wikidot.com, on a platform-neutral suite of tests that can serve as foundation for a more robust iCalendar validation service.
