This is old. And I'm sure I've blogged this before. If it wasn't me, then it was Schockwellenreiter. Whatever. Here are Sleazy Sixties Smut Books! Hmmm ... I've blogged this before? I did! Didn't I? Via Linkfilter 6:53:04 PM     |

Test. Radio again ... Sorry about that. 5:36:53 PM     |

Just listening. Peter Thomas (the best composer after Beethoven) has thrown a new CD on the market. We can consider ourselves happy to be listening to 'Raumpatrouille - The Complete Music". The CD comes with a really great booklet packed with photos from the series and 10 'unreleased Extra Tracks'. Well, now I know why those tracks were previously unreleased - they're only for hardcore fans. But the booklet is great. This was your Cartoonist's CD recommendation for the week. Be happy. Update: Best bit is 'Enter the Crew'. That one's great. Really! Oh - you know where to buy CDs, don't you? At your nearest Record Shop. *NOT* at Amazon. Just my view of things - I like small dedicated shops. 5:04:15 PM     |

Fun with Photoshop. Check out the fake Propaganda Posters. Via J-Walk. 12:05:51 PM     |

Dry Bones. Call me morbid, but I like it: The Sedlec Ossuary (a.k.a. Kostnice) is a small Christian chapel decorated with human bones. It's located in Sedlec, which is a suburb in the outskirts of the Czech town Kutna Hora. Found at Kosmonautentraum. 9:20:45 AM     |

The Art of the Makonde. The Makonde people live on the border of Mozambique and Tanzania; and the sculptures they create are truly bizarre. And fantastic. Have a look at Makonde-Art; at Makonde Carvings and visit the Makonde Museum. 8:49:24 AM     |

Quite English. Clifton, or Percy Pickwick as he is called in Germany, is a retired Secret Service agent. He lives in a detached house in Puddington, a cozy little village just outside of London, has a maid who does the cooking for him, has lots of cats and drives an old MG. And from time to time he gets dragged back into crime-solving. Everything about the famous comic book character is here. Text in Dutch and English. 8:27:45 AM     |

Kokerei Hansa. Ligne Claire has some impressive photos of the now deserted coke plant Hansa in Dortmund Huckarde. 11:14:26 PM     |

Yes, I'm back. Back in London for the weekend; on Monday it's back to Brussels. And here's a weblog from outer space: Blogging from the International Space Station. Science Officer Ed Lu is 'blogging' from outer space. [story: harvey, photo: NASA] [101-365] [The Mediaburn Radio Weblog] 11:03:24 PM     |

Belgium. I'm off to Brussels, next updates probably in about a week. Our second iChat try was at least partly successful - see the entry at IT&W. See ya! 5:12:54 PM     |

Well, Tony ... ? MI6 chief briefed BBC over Iraq arms fears. · Iran and Syria 'greater danger than Saddam' · Blair stakes reputation on row over weapons dossier [Guardian Unlimited] "This move will put him in direct conflict with Tony Blair, who dramatically upped the stakes last night by demanding a full retraction of the allegations about weapons of mass destruction, saying the charge against him was the gravest he had ever faced as Prime Minister." 10:27:04 AM     |

Yeah, but it doesn't work. The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: iChat might be answer to big long-distance bills 1:53:46 AM     |

Hey-Ho, let's go. Dammit, it didn't work. Another try tomorrow. That's today, Sunday, just after the Grand Prix. iChat. Die Zeiten ändern sich und so stimmt ein Satz nicht mehr: »Der Schockwellenreiter chattet nie!« In einer beispiellosen zweieinhalbstündigen Sitzung haben der Cartoonist, die "hochgeschätzten Bloggerkollegen" und der Schockwellenreiter in zweifacher Ausfertigung (und wir wurden auch noch kurz von WWK besucht) versucht, das neue iChatAV zu einer Audiokonferenz zu überreden. Es ist uns leider nicht gelungen. Wenn also jemand Tips oder Pointer hat... Morgen um 16:00 Uhr wollen wir es noch einmal probieren... Aber Spaß hat's gemacht... [Der Schockwellenreiter We've just tried to get an Audio-iChat done. It didn't work. Any ideas out there? Is it the NAT? Techies, come on! But it was fun! Lots of fun actually. 1:15:07 AM     |
