London History, Part #1. Today: Fleet Street. I'm only mentioning this because I had a couple of pints tonight in a few pubs around the area. Have fun. Here's more. Next history lesson is either Chelsea or St Pauls. Depends on where I'm having the next beers. 10:03:32 PM   London | |

Absolutely tasteless. The German website accordingly named Hossaschlager presents lyrics of German hits of the 60s and 70s, old German postcards and covers of German pulp publications. This is unbelievable; I'm lost for words. 12:35:26 PM   Cult | |

Models. Small Art Works is a model making company in Canada and I must say, their stuff is pretty impressive. Have a look at the gallery. 12:15:27 PM   Cult | |

Bloomsday is approaching. Jon Barger of Robot Wisdom Weblog fame also runs a very informative James Joyce webpage. Could need some updating though. 10:18:42 AM   Literature | |

Finally, the missing manual? New Radio UserLand book from Rogers Cadenhead. Rogers just announced that his new book on Radio UserLand will be published this summer by Sams Publishing: "There's an amazing amount of stuff you can do with the software -- I can't think of another $40 program that supports Internet content management and publishing, information aggregation, programming, object-oriented database storage, and a long list of buzzworthy acronyms: HTTP, HTML, XML, FTP, XML-RPC, SOAP, and RSS."

It's Mr Rossi. Robert had this link already a while ago, but it's just too good. Here's the homepage of Bruno Bozzetto, creator of Mr Rossi, VIP and many more characters. Even video clips of his animations are included. 8:37:55 AM   Cult | |

Office Fun. Here are Alex's Paper Airplanes. Dozens of them, even a paper-frisbee. They all come with easy to fold instructions. "link" 8:28:55 AM   Cult | |

The Jurassic Web. This made my day. Old dinosaur books with fantastic illustrations. Plain brilliant. Thanks a lot for the link, Anneke! "I know it doesn't seem to bear the slightest relationship to the rest of this page . But I love old dinosaur books. It's just a hobby of mine. Whenever I see any old, scientifically out of date books about dinosaurs, I grab 'em. The more inaccurate the better! I know dinosaurs were actually real animals but I love it when dinosaurs are depicted as outlandish, horrible monsters. I've developed quite a little collection. Since there is absolutely nothing on the web as far as I've been able to see about this, it is my duty to supply it!" 8:20:55 AM   Cult | |
