An extremely useful database of plants and their uses.
Whatever happened to "Steal This World"? I thought that was a pretty cool idea... serving the same sort of purpose, but with more hip young attitude and (presumably) non-hideous web design.
I just got a GPS unit, so I went geocaching with my sister the other day. Check it out www.geocaching.com. Anyway, it seems like you could combine the same idea of longitude/lattitude coordinates and user submitted data to build a pretty large database of common fruit trees throughout the urban U.S. Free fruit wherever you go!
We should do this... so when the shit hits the fan we'll know where to score the good food. Hopefully the satelites will remain functioning at that point.
That is an extremely useful database. I like how they have everything numerically rated for Edibility and Medicinality.
And I love how halfway down the page on the right side they have an "obligatory smiling lady picture". Although to be frank if they hadn't told me that was a lady I wouldn't have known.
