Sweet 3D software to check out-

www.treehugger.com is good and my forum has some weird stuff, although it is more of a blog as no one posts apart from people trying to sell sex pills.

 

Also I recommend the Stumbleupon plugin for Firefox. Set it to look for design and you will not believe what the internet has available.
