Right now on the front page of the The Viridian Design Movement site, you can read the current Viridian Note, number 00456, which sums up the “State of the World 2006”.

Included are a summary of a dozen bizarre weather moments from 2005, and a mockery of Thomas Friedman’s latecomer handwringing about the “oil problem”.

Also is included a link to a pretty interesting conversation with Bruce Sterling on The Well. Worth checking out, for more than just this one strange link.
