Big Thanks. To the incredible Kosmonautentraum mentioning the Johnny Thunders Diaries. Here's Johnny live with Chinese Rocks [MP3, 2.5MB]. Have fun. 8:56:14 PM     |

Yawn. These images and articles have been blogged all over the planet. This is boring. If you really want to know what's going on in the skies, check out Errol Bruce-Knapp's UFO UpDates. They're far better than anything else in the Universe. 7:45:07 PM     |

There you go. Probably a conspiracy. Editor sacked over 'hoax' pictures. Mirror editor Piers Morgan is sacked as the newspaper concedes photos of soldiers abusing an Iraqi were fake. [BBC News | News Front Page | UK Edition] 7:33:43 PM     |

Post-It. And another Fab!, the last one remaining: Baron's Mail Art Collection. Fab. Here we go ... 6:13:08 PM     |

A Great Big Wow! Science Fiction Art by someone who calls himself zfigure7. Amazing. All done in Bryce, Poser, Cinema and Photoshop. I'm running out of Fab's here. Thanks to Steve of GARAGELAND. 5:44:52 PM     |

Fantastic. Logos, pictograms, country flags and more. Website's in French, but nevertheless easy to navigate. All downloads as Illustrator files. Fab. Double Fab. Triple Fab. 5:35:51 PM     |

Busy. I'm extremely busy today, so probably no updates. Just a quick one: Insterburg & Co with Kaulquappe [MP3, 1.3MB]. 7:51:29 AM     |

The Old Fart MP3 Competition: Lou Reed and Perfect Day [MP3, 2.6MB]. Nice. 8:43:31 PM     |

Roboterkampf. The website of Jason Eaton. Unbelievable. Via things. 1:05:02 PM     |

Raumpatrouille - The Comic Strip. Download the Hungarian Orion Comic Book [Zip, 1.6MB, expands to PDFs]. Also: the famous countdown sequence in Hungarian; and Piccicato in Heaven [MP3, 1.0MB]. Via the fabulous Orion Museum. Thanks, Josef! 9:24:10 AM     |

Back. Buggers. Switched the whole system of comments and trackback to haloscan. Seems to work, it only took me 2 hours to paste the code into the right templates. Now what's the 'main template' in the Radio Userland Application, dear haloscan? Eh? Yeah, right. It's not the 'Main Template', it's the friggin 'Home Page' template! Thank you so much. And thanks to the haloscan forum. Otherwise I would have chucked my eMac into a really big and dirty bin now. Good. More tweaking tomorrow. Grrr... 1:08:13 AM     |

Fed Up. Comments and Trackback are off from now on. Trackback doesn't work anyway, and the comments server is down. I'll move them to haloscan or God knows where. This is seriously pissing me off, because I'm paying money for Radio's non-existent service. 11:43:47 PM     |

Warp Back. Test drive an original Macintosh, running on OS7 [Flash]. Now. Via IT&W. 9:12:36 PM     |

The Great Grand Gorgeous Garrotting MP3 Competition Continues, apparently. Alright then, Schockwellenreiter had some 'music' (and here and here), IT&W as well, but the winner can only be: Lady Marlene Dietrich with Where have all the flowers gone [MP3, 3.3MB]. Now beat this. I'm looking forward to it. And if The Aardvark could please join us? 7:07:30 PM     |

By Hook or by Crook. At last! My old mate Wolfgang in Hamburg Sankt Pauli is back online. Check out the galleries of his paintings - they are highly recommended by yours truly, The Cartoonist. 4:57:58 PM     |

Mac OS X Software of the Month: MacOSaix. It's as easy as ... 1. Choose the image you want to make a mosaic from. 2. Choose the shape and number of tiles in the mosaic. 3. Choose the source of images to use for the tiles. Fab. It seems to be freeware, and I hope the author develops it further - it could need some tweaking. Anyway, my Commander Cliff Allister McLane as a mosaic made up from hundreds of Raumpatrouille images is here [260kb jpeg download, printout recommended]. Yes, I know, it could need some tweaking as well, but after 4 hours I just got fed up ... 4:31:46 PM     |

Leaving Pluto. A Russian Space Art Gallery. Fab. 9:59:35 AM     |

Can Pigs Fly? Of course they can. Nice little Flash Game. Again via xq. 9:54:54 AM     |

Going Underground Again. No idea what this is about, but the pictures are great. Moscow Metro perhaps? Via xq. 9:50:36 AM     |

Silver Factory. Photographs by Billy Name at London's A&D Gallery. 6:12:32 PM     |

German newspaper iPod/torture mashup. The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung ran this editorial illustration that remixes the Iraqi torture photos with the iPod ads. 12k JPEG Link [Boing Boing] 5:39:39 PM     |
