A couple websites of interest:
Kevin Kelly is the author of several books, particularly Out Of Control, The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World was required reading for the cast of The Matrix. It's available to be read online.
Currently he maintains Cool Tools, a reader-contributed blog about all that's hip. I came across the site a couple days ago when I found this article in Wired magazine by David Byrne. Mr. Byrne interviews the likes of Brian Eno and Thom Yorke -turns out Radiohead just did a study of their carbon footprint left from their tours. The greatest contributer? The travel done by the concert goers.
Mr. Kelly has had a hand in several projects over the years including an effort to categorize every living organism on the planet. He says he didn't get very far, but thankfully other people have taken over: The Encyclopedia of Life
Then there's this questionnaire testing how much you know about your local watershed.
