 Yeah, right. It may not make sense at all feeding the spambots with non-existing email addresses, as Robert says, but his 'Message in a Bottle' link is great. And where is it? In Brighton, UK of course. So no Swiss invention here. Just English. Now where are my John Steed links ... ?HeHeHe: let's feed the Bots: mpr@qtenuvkxnpkbdjbnepwc.ch, phxopuad@dlnqlitfjgtkqleurooh.pl, jpt@ujmu.br, iccsraqrzg@zfid.net, ycpvtnkvyt@tkzhcaidjfcmo.st, kjvxefj@snkfpuocr.st, wza@jorx.es, bsyj@dadegntvi.net, bxmczwp@buwffvek.pl, puxeynimke@vfhhzpcc.eu, omdaahmlu@yjatfdooq.st, yovjpgak@znbyozbm.jp, nntgz@hzylcgjk.com, osuuat@tewtkavshxkomhkoug.dk, nazrh@laoywsdj.com, dyr@zvvmxeneduuvafyu.com, hmz@cbdk.st, ktkhqvznq@hkivgufyeilyvslnih.net, kpnf@pddpbve.it, wftdibit@rvrfft.jp

Pink Flag. Go. Barbican, 26.4.2003, 8 pm. Wire. PostEverything : News"WIRE recorded their first album "Pink Flag" for EMI in 1977. With 21 songs in 35 minutes, it has become one of, if not THE, seminal art punk records of the '70's. Since their inception, WIRE's work has been defined by an inability to stand still. Through punk, psychedelia, and various twisted pop and experimental electronica, the band has remained in the musical vanguard (despite having disbanded twice for several years) whilst still creating a plethora of solo recordings, including music for dancer Michael Clark & more recently, writer Iain Sinclair's films & spoken word events.
Performed for the first time ever in its entirety by WIRE, who better to tackle the presentation of the art-punk icon Pink Flag than contemporary visual artists Jake & Dinos Chapman,who themselves make this their theatrical design debut." I'll be there. Definitely.

 Food for thought. Quite a few Warblogs are now united at warblogs.cc. Interesting read. Especially the comments by right wing rambos. Nice. Some of them remind me of articles found in Der Stürmer, which used to be a very hip newspaper in 1930's Germany.I found the link through Where is Raed, who posted a link to Back to Iraq. War. Not in my name.

 Shall I try that? Or will it screw up Radio? Outlining Radio's News Aggregator. Mikel Maron: "activeRenderer View for News Aggregation. This is very cool. I've been using the aggregator in an outline, for a couple months now, and I wouldn't go back. Do check out the screenshot and I hope this update is enjoyed."
Wow, cool indeed :-). With Mikel's myRadio tool, you can use Radio's aggregator, and get a better organized view of your feeds.
If you're like John Robb, browsing through 116 subscribed feeds, the new version of myRadio sounds like a winning proposition. [read more] [s l a m]

 Broken Promise. From 1930 to about 1950 Art C. Radebaugh airbrushed The Future we were promised. Hospitals in space, giant submarines, underwater cities, amazing cars, planes, antigravity homes -This is a truly fantastic exhibition. Go and have a look, it's definitely worth browsing. Radebaugh, another forgotten artist? Thanks to losthighways, he now might be remembered. "... he became a skilled proponent of the newly invented airbrush, and was featured as an airbrush star in the 1938 Paasche Airbrush Co. catalog. Airbrush was the right tool for illustration at the moment when streamlined moderne was all the rage, and Radebaugh's airbrush made possible his most enduring works, the covers of the annual issues of MoToR Magazine, 1935 through 1938 ..." The Exhibition:
THE NEGATIVES portal will introduce you to Radebaugh's world the way we found it. All but two of the negs have been made positives, colors adjusted by chance, by choice, or by default. AUTOMOBILES takes you through designs for Chrysler/Desoto/Dodge, the legendary annual issue covers of MOTOR magazine and misc. cars of the future. ADS shows a working illustrator hard at work. SYNDICATED looks at a weekly cartoon strip that Radebaugh drew for regular public consumption.

 Hehehehe. The following joke reminds me of last week's work:An advertising team is working very late at night on a project due the next morning. Suddenly, a Genie appears before them and offers to each of them one wish. The copywriter says: "I've always dreamed of writing the great American novel and having my work studied in schools across the land. I'd like to go to a tropical island where I can concentrate and write my masterpiece." The Genie says, "No problem!" and poof! The copywriter is gone. The art director says: "I want to create a painting so beautiful that it would hang in the Louvre Museum in Paris for all the world to admire. I want to go to the French countryside to work on my painting." The Genie says, "Your wish is granted!" and poof! The art director is gone. The Genie then turns to the account executive and says, "And what is your wish?" The account executive says, "I want those two assholes back here right now."

Sorry. I'd rather have a look in certain binaries newsgroups first to 'test' it. And then buy InDesign. Quark, you know that virtually everybody is still working with version 4? Nobody gives a *&^% about 5. Because it's crap. 
rrr-rrr-rrr ... That's about the sound a compressor makes with an airbrush attached to it. Wonderful - how nicely that fits with the Radebaugh link! Here's a website about 
Woohoo! Back in Blogland for the weekend. Still booked next week, though. If the UserLand server doesn't crash again like it did last Sunday, expect a few links over the next two days. And here's the first one, which I brought with me
