At home nursing a rather nasty head cold today but at least managed to catch up on some reading.
In the spirit of recycling and re-use I'll ship this copy of Banksy's Wall and Piece to the first person that can point me to an online research paper or web site that best inspires and informs Future Perfect.
Post your answers to the comments.
Yes its subjective.
Maximum of one submission per person.
Deadline: Monday 27th February.
UPDATE: travelling on from the 27th to the 3rd - will mail the book out on my return!

Paul Dourish: Implications for Design. - Yes, a bit uncool, but in overall, one of the nice and critical academic discussion openers by a designer/hci researcher, for the potential(s) of ethnography in design projects.
Find it here: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~jpd/classes/readings/Dourish-Implications.pdf

VT - I'm sure Mr Dourish revels in his state of uncoolness. Here at Future Perfect uncool is more often than not very very cool.
The world just has to catch up.

A very cool book that has just been published is "The Politics of Public Space" (Setha Low & Neil Smith eds) Routledge. Considering your posts I think you might find it inspiring - and before you ask, no I am not connected with the book. Except that I have just borrowed it from the library.

http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/ is a good candidate.

ah, missed the deadline [just read the post]... but i think there's no better resources for social anthropology than flickr and technorati tags, google, usenet groups, and a hunch. but that's not the brief... so if i were to recommend a website [the one's already mentioned are great] it would be:
a reference guide to actor network theory and studies of materiality [which is a tad dull but helps make sense of stuff]: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fss/sociology/papers/css/antres/antres.htm
or,
PSFK - global trend thingamajiggy http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fss/sociology/papers/css/antres/antres.htm
or,
MIT's advertising lab:
http://adverlab.blogspot.com/
or,
Influx - more pithy advertising/ideas stuff
http://influx.bssp.com/
or,
Imomus [click opera] which i don't pretend to fully understand but his weirdness makes me think of other weirdness

god bless. goodbye.

I read this article the other day: http://www.danah.org/papers/AAAS2006.html - it's about why youth need things like MySpace. I just thought it was smart and well thought out - and it made me think about a few things slightly differently. Not sure it'll inspire you, but you never know.
Keep up the great work.

I know I missed the deadline, but this is an interesting paper I'd like to share. Written by Professor Csikszentmihalyi and his Jeremy Hunter. "Happiness in Everyday Life: The Uses of Experience Sampling" is informative, inspiring and interesting.
Hope you like it.
