Pink Pangea | the community for women travelers. The 86 Greatest Travel Books of All Time. 100 Websites You Should Know and Use. In the spring of 2007, Julius Wiedemann, editor in charge at Taschen GmbH, gave a legendary TED University talk: an ultra-fast-moving ride through the “100 websites you should know and use.” Six years later, it remains one of the most viewed TED blog posts ever. Time for an update? We think so. Below, the 2013 edition of the 100 websites to put on your radar and in your browser.

Share it willingly, or miss out entirely. Just recently I got to wondering why I never felt like I was caught up on anything—projects, relationships, hobbies, jobs—the list goes on.
As I pondered my situation I realized that for the past few days I’d worked from 8am to 9pm, only pausing long enough to eat meals. What this meant was that of the 15 hours I was awake each day I only had about 2 hours of unscheduled time for myself. 13:2 is not exactly an ideal ratio. Now, normally, you might expect me to make a plug for some time-saving lifestyle hack. So, what exactly is time for myself, and what makes it more desirable? In the battle for time to ourselves, we seem to strive so desperately to create a separation between work life and personal life—but what makes the time so different?
Instead, I propose something different: all time is your own. I know what I’ll be choosing.
Projects. Carved Book Landscapes by Guy Laramee. (click images for detail) For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures. Of these works he says: So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Laramee’s next show will be in April of 2012 at the Galerie d’Art d’Outremont in Montreal. Viztech.
