Ninjas on the ‘net

[Image: Some internet map I found that looks like something out of an 80's 'B' scifi movie - I love it]
I’m going to start this weekly roundup with our ninja Jennifer over at OffBeat Homes, and MNP fav. Jen is always holding it down for the ninjas, and even threw some link love to Green.MNP the other day, which is always great. She’s also running a contest on her page that you should check out, maybe you can win some free gear.
Next up is 9th dan status archidose, where John always has great content – this week with an interesting post on the Hudson Yards project in NYC.
Head on over to BLDGBLOG where Geoff has some great images of a post-apocalyptic city within an apartment and a post on server rooms and the future of humanism.
Green.MNP holds it down with posts on walkable cities, mutant frogs, hobbit homes and the world post-kyoto.
Music.MNP has reviews of the new Bondocks Mixtape and the new WU, a video of an interview with Ghostface, new oldschool rap videos and more.
For this week’s ninjas on the ‘net I also want to go ‘offline’ with some recommendations. I know, I know – leaving the computer is a scary idea…but I would never mislead you, my ninjas.
First off, I’ve recently gotten my hands on the newest edition of Log [Summer/Fall 2007]. It’s not really ‘new’, but its new to me, so know that its a good read with some interesting articles.Some of this issues topics include Dubai, cities in the global South, the question of sustainability, geometries, another new urbanism, and musings on the egosphere.
There’s also Wallpaper* – a quality source of everything design related, from fashion to food to architecture. This broad range of topics allows the magazine to stand out from other strictly ‘architecture’ magazines, making it [in my opinion] more interesting to check out.
Metropolis is also an MNP favorite, and is pretty widely known in the architecture/design world. Beyond their physical mag, tho, they have a really solid website that should be peeped by all. Of particular interest recently is an article on the new New York Times headquarters [their '100 year home'], and an article revisiting the oil crisis of the 1973.
Last, but not least – Dwell. Always great stuff.

HA! Well Mark, I’m just trying to spread the love over here – I would never try to pawn you off on someone else, because then there would be half the comments on architecture.MNP!
I love those modeled cities from BLDGBLOG also – and that background was incredible! The painted [or whatever] walls – thing was crazy.
So what year are you in school? Where at? And when’s your project due? If you’ve got some nice renderings [hand or computer] and all that you should send them over, maybe we’ll feature them on MNP!

I’m a 2nd year architecture major at Philadelphia University. I’m actually the president of our AIAS chapter here too. It’s a big year for me especially because our university hosted the Fall Northeast Quad conference. It was a lot of fun.
Once I get my portfolio page together I’ll send it for sure. I’ll at least have a page up on my site sometime here within the coming weeks. We have to have it up for one of my classes.
