PingMag - the Tokyo-based magazine about “Design and Making Things” has some pretty pictures, that could serve as inspiration or diversion.
The internet is interesting that way - lot's of diversion but not much inspiration.
At least inspiration that leads to me actually doing, making or creating something. It's a fairly self-contained universe. Not that it isn't a wonderful tool.
I can spend hours skimming over stuff (pretty stuff, interesting stuff, funny stuff, weird stuff) on the web. At the end of those hours could I sit down with another person and tell them a story? or summarize what I had learned? Not likely...
I'm pretty sure that's a diversion. Not bad in itself, but not to be taken in large quantities at the expense of other more important things.
If you took a walk and really observed what was around you, met some new people, took a class, cooked or ate something new, went on a trip - did anything outside of your normal routine it would be easy to tell someone a story, and in some sense that's what life is all about.
