Speakers. Here's what the speakers had to say in Hyde Park today. Jesse Jackson, Ken Livingstone, the wonderful Tony Benn, Bianca Jagger, Harold Pinter ... Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Anti-war march: what the speakers said The playwright Harold Pinter described the US as "a country run by a bunch of criminals ... with Tony Blair as a hired Christian thug". The planned attack on Iraq is a pre-meditated attack of mass murder," he added. "Resistance is embodied today in this massive gathering, and the word I want to direct to Tony Blair is resign, resign, resign. 9:02:52 PM     |

People. This is Hyde Park. The little dots are people. I watched the speeches, Tony Benn was fantastic, as always. 'Million' march against Iraq war. Hundreds of thousands of UK protesters converge on London to stage the largest ever peacetime demonstration. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition] 8:31:04 PM     |

Wonderful. I've been trying to get down there myself, but without the Central Line running it's virtually impossible. There are more than 1 Million people in London protesting against the war. More people in fact than on V-day. Wonderful. 2:27:03 PM     |

Just Posters. Cool Anti-War posters are to be found at when I'm out on the street. They come in various sizes, from very huge to not so huge. Jpg, eps and pdf. Print out and show them off tomorrow in Hyde Park. 11:05:43 PM     |

Just Photos. Everybody who still thinks that bombing innocent people and children is a really smart idea should have a look at the exhibition 100 Fotos für die Pressefreiheit. And everybody else too. 10:54:59 PM     |

Moules avec frites. I'm back in London for the weekend; Sunday afternoon it's Eurostar towards Brussels again. Lots of work over there, I'm probably booked for another 2 weeks, so I'll do the 'weekend blogger thing' for at least the next 14 days. Sorry about that. New entries either later tonight or tomorrow, first I'll have to dive into the pile of snailmail on my desk. Bills, bills and more bills... 9:31:36 PM     |

This weblog is on holiday. I'm off to Brussels for 2 weeks, doing some more or less creative work. If I'll find the time and some interesting stuff, I'll blog through das Kollektiv (in German, though). See you hopefully again at the weekend. Bye. 10:26:03 AM     |

Nice books. Victorian Bookbinding: Innovation and Extravagance, 1820 - 1910 is yet another exhibit at UNT. "Prior to 1820, all books were bound by hand in the traditional manner: each printed gathering was sewn to cords, the cords were threaded through the front and back boards, and the cover (usually leather or leather and marbled paper) was wrapped around, being adhered to the spine and the boards. This all changed when an enterprising young publisher, William Pickering, got the idea of using coated cloth for his miniature Diamond Classics series." 5:25:21 PM     |
