The Cartoonist

Travelling. Groan - working tomorrow morning for my client, the Internet Service Provider; meeting up with Dave, my copywriter, at 2:30 at Waterloo Station, discussing things and having a fight, then off again to Brussels. On the Eurostar. See you next weekend. 9:48:47 PM     |

Rustboy. Get the book right here. Via my mates in Chicago. (Hey, I want one of those...) 9:41:39 PM     |

How Filthy. Minimal Porn. Watch out, it's all in shockwave. Or flash. Or whatever that stuff's called. 9:33:11 PM     |

Observe and Learn. Spooky Action. Children grow fast. And here. 9:23:19 PM     |

This is annoying. I've only blogged three entries so far, and had at least 15-17 Radio-Upstream errors. Can't upstream because "Can't write stream because TCP/IP error code -3259 - Connection timed out." Upstream Can't upstream because "Can't read stream because TCP/IP error code -3259 - Connection timed out." And so on. UserLand Gods, can you please fix your server? 6:28:01 PM     |

Tikiland. Funny. As soon as I've posted the link to Shag Art, which was stolen from Eye of the Goof, apparently everybody went through that website. And found those Tiki paintings. Oh well - I wouldn't be The Cartoonist, if I didn't have something even better to offer. And I've blogged him several times before. Here's Moritz rrr, and so is his Tikiland! 6:01:04 PM     |

Ex Libris. Lots of them. The Bookplates Exhibit at Stanford University Libraries. 9:45:15 AM     |

The History of Graphic Design. Nice little exhibition. Very funny: The typography.mp3. And check out the class blog. 9:32:52 AM     |

Hungry. I'm in the desperate need of a Carbonade Flamande (Hey: that stuff is being cooked in brown beer! It must be good!), so I'll just have one. Tomorrow. In Eurotown. I'm off to Brussels, Belgium for a week getting some serious work done and having some serious meals together with some serious beers. See you all next weekend when I'm back, fat and stuffed. Meanwhile enjoy all those links. 3:08:11 PM     |

Good Grief. This is mind-boggling. Mad. Check out Andrew Lipson's Lego Page. Especially Escher's Relativity. My brain hurts just looking at it. 2:23:00 PM     |

Solid. How bizarre. Solid objects which generate anomalous pictures, the explanation in Engrish: The following are not painting, but photographs of real paper-made objects. If you want to make them by yourself, copy the figures of the unfolded surfaces. Don't forget to add margins to paste up. 2:12:47 PM     |

Silver. Big, big website about the Mercedes-Benz 300SL: technology, galleries, history, scale models. 2:00:14 PM     |

Country Road. A funny little movie (Mpeg, 2.7MB) at the Holzblog. Via Ministry of Propaganda. 8:33:08 AM     |
