Stinkers. Remember Arthur? I wonder if I can sue them, some sort of a really big lawsuit, involving millions of Pounds. Basil was first. Proven. Solicitors, Barristers, Lawyers and Anwälte are welcome. Just send me an email.

Now this is Über-Cool. Fantastic. Great. Fab. Unbelievable. Awesome. Design and print your own free disposable personal organiser. What a great idea this is. Many thanks to Peter. And, by the way, it doesn't work properly with Safari. Get Firefox, or Opera.The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner. The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one.

Wenn wir uns vorstellen, was wir damals getrieben haben. So ein Sternenhimmel. Das war damals eine Halle, die war schwarz ausgehängt und da hing tatsächlich Stern für Stern an einem unsichtbaren Fädchen und es waren tausende und die Kamera fuhr dann da durch. Ein Effekt den man heute, glaub ich, mit zwei Fingern auf einem Computer erzeugen kann. Und besser.

Faust. Eine Tragödie. Of course, I'm a fan of old wood engravings. That's why I've created a flickr set with a few Faust illustrations by someone only known as F. Simm. I did a Google search, but I didn't get far.Anyway, this particular Faust edition is probably from the 20's or 30's - although, if the above F. Simm is the right F. Simm, then it must be an earlier edition turn of the century. It was published by Deutsche Verlags=Anstalt, Stuttgart und Berlin. Perhaps Paperholic (or even Dr. Wohlers?) might know more about this edition. I really don't want to compete with soilworker, whose Faust of the week is still the best you can find on the web - but I just had to scan those fabulous wood engravings. Update: more of F. Simm can be found here. Thanks to Gris-Gris.

Martha. That's how it all started, on Spember 6, 2002. And I'm still updating this silly weblog. So here's the original Martha entry again in all its glory:
Oh...Seems to work now?
Well, have fun with Martha. I saw her during the total eclipse 2 years ago in London Hyde Park - I just HAD to draw her.
