Apple goes Micro$oft? Scary indeed!
Mac OS Rumors: "This feature is a bit scary - system-level anti-piracy enforcement. There is not a lot of detail given, but it is explicitly suggested that Apple developers wanted to include such functionality in 10.1 and then moved it to 10.2 - clearly it has still not been implemented, but it could very well still be in the pipeline despite Apple's public statements that it wants only to "help honest people stay honest" and considers strict copy protection for software or media to be counter-productive...."

Another german blogging fellow living in this rather weird country! Fabulous. Especially because he mentions Dortmund, and I was raised there, until I pissed off to Hamburg...and then England of course.

No, not for me. And not for David Beckham either. But apparently David Seaman cut his hair. Will this move bring back his goalkeeping powers? When writing this Arsenal lead 1-0 against Dortmund in the Champions League..."

My little black cat is sitting behind me and watching me as I type...
Sun Herald - 10/29/02: "Under the spell of black cats
First, there are the eyes.
Like no other feline, the eyes of a black cat can hypnotize, catch your breath, bore into you and make you wonder who has domesticated who. "

Oh, I love this country...
Liverpool's "Winchester Mystery" tunnels. Liverpudlians have begun to excavate the tunnels of Joseph Williamson, a local 19th-Cen tycoon who hired thousands of men to honeycomb the city with labyrnthine tunnels that dead-end, circle back and stack atop one another (think of a subterranian Winchester Mystery House). It's unclear whether he did this because he was nuts, or because he wanted to give the laboring classes "productive" labor, or because he was remotely controlled by the Mole People (my pet theory).
"We still don't know where each one leads, and we are finding new tunnels all the time," she says.
"There is a triple-decker tunnel under the carpark here and a completely different section has just been found up the road."
Back within the barrel-shaped chamber, the tunnel twists, turns, narrows and changes level.
Smaller tunnels and chimneys head off into the darkness.
Mapping the maze has not been easy. Williamson was notoriously secretive about his creation and no contemporary plan of the whole network survives.

The Unsuspecting Tourist found out about our much loved and hated British Rail:
Autumn Trains
I heard on the BBC today that trains in parts of the country were not running because there were too many leaves on parts of the tracks. They were talking about the paper thin leaves that fall on the ground right?
Is there an official leave counter on the government payroll?
"You'll need to call off the trains Jonathan, we've exceeded the maximum amount of autumn foliage on the tracks".

Orwell was right! Via [Boing Boing Blog]
Check out this amazingly creepy poster from the London police, which aims to put people at their ease at the notion of living in the most-surveilled country in the world. It's like the cover of an old Ace Double paperback about watchful, tyrannical aliens.

The good artist, the duck man! Everything about Carl Barks (in german):
And Finnegans Wake, part 5.
Useless sketches. More Finnegans Wake later on today, while Rob will return next week. Hop.
Here is number 4!
Here's number three of The Mookse and The Gripes. Enjoy! Or not.
The Mookse and The Gripes, Illustration # 2 (out of 11, but I've mentioned that already).
Since nobody wants to print my Finnegans Wake illustrations, I thought I might as well publish them here. I've illustrated a tiny part of the great book: The Mookse and The Gripes. Here's the first one out of eleven.
And here's a Nat Finkelstein gallery:
Billy Name's fantastic photos can be found here:
Gerard Malanga's Factory photos are here:
Lisa Law's Velvet Underground pictures are here:
Classic Lou Reed pictures, by the fab Mick Rock:
Spent an hour in the loft, looking for a box full with old cartoons, especially the originals of Die Randomisiermaschine, a book of mine which was published in 1986. Couldn't find it. Chaos up there.
Enough for today...more tomorrow.
