Workers stand by to mount a propeller as a crane lifts it to the top of a power-generating windmill turbine in the northern German city of Hamburg on March 20, 2009. This single turbine can produce 6 megawatts of energy and is the first of two new power-generating windmills, built in the harbour area of Hamburg.

The newest design blogs are particularly telling of this as they largely seem to concentrate on a steady-stream of eye-candy and visual masturbation. Seemingly, the past year has played host to the superseding of actual writing and reflection on design to vapid graphical lists like “25 Great Green Websites”. Easy to create, bookmark, and subsequently mimic, it’s as though we’ve collectively walked into the great karaoke lounge of design–all of it somehow comforting but unlikely to result in anything of substance.
