The Cartoonist Recommends. The Field Guide. The art, history and philosophy of Crop Circle Making. Fabulous book. Wonder what Colin Andrews is doing these days.

Three decades ago, two men in their fifties began flattening circles into the fields of Hampshire and Wiltshire. Little did they know that their Friday night antics would seed an international phenomenon that continues to change people's lives to this day.

Also, check out the main website.

Cellarius. History's most beautiful celestial atlas; here's the book by Taschen. And the free stuff can be found here: The Harmonia Macrocosmica of Andreas Cellarius and here are some more bits. Was mentioned sometime ago at BibliOdyssey, I think? Anyway, his links to Cellarius don't seem to work anymore.

Comet Miniatures, 44-48 Lavender Hill, London. Comet Miniatures is a shop specialised in all kinds of Science Fiction models, sculptures, rocketry and so on. Bigtime. Sadly they're closing down the shop by the end of September and moving to some bigger premises. I thought it might be a good idea to take some photos of the claustrophobic interior before it's all gone. What a great shop that is. Or was. Here's my flickr set.

Photo, found in today's Mail. May 1992: Geesthacht, Heidbergring. My old Caterham Seven 1600 Sprint (Prisoner colours of course); then, Rolf Homann's Donkervoort; another Seven, a Lotus Europa and a Lotus Seven Series 4 at the back. Those were the days, us advertising agents splashing out loads of money on crap like this. Thank God times have changed. (Erm, it was fun actually. Not that I miss those times, but I do. A bit. Yes. Not that much though. Only a bit. Drool.). Many thanks to Rolf for sending this.

Virtual Terror Bollocks. A picture named holdon.gifOver at Famous for 15 megapixels.

"They [Al Qaeda] are rehearsing their operations in Second Life because they don't have the opportunity to rehearse in the real world," Gunaratna says. "And unless governments improve their technical capabilities on a par with the terrorists' access to globalisation tools like the internet and Second Life, they will not be able to monitor what is happening in the terrorist world."

I've never read so much bullshit in only one article.
