Istanbul, Turkey 450 sheep jump to their deaths. ISTANBUL, Turkey - First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.

Total EOG You're Sick, Sick, Sick!. It's been a while since I've posted anything about horror hosts or Detroit, so let me direct you to Keith Milford's excellent fansite dedicated to the Motor City's own Sir Graves Ghastly. I never got the opportunity to watch Sir Graves in action, but he sounds like a pretty cool ghoul. I also heartily recommend a stop at Old Haunts, a fine online journal of found Halloween photos and related ephemera that's also maintained by Keith. Schaukasten is another excellent weblog that turned up in my referral log yesterday; poster scans from Psychotronic films are its forte. [Eye of the Goof] 6:23:59 PM

Business Cards, Strictly Business The Art Director's Weapons. I had these cards printed when I was working for FCB Hamburg. I had thousands of those. I used to throw them towards Account Managers, who wanted yet another salesfolder or shelf wobbler design. They were the size of ordinary business cards. [The Cartoonist] 6:10:26 PM

Radio Userland and Podcasting Radio UserLand and Podcasting. We're working additions to Radio's RSS publishing to support Apple's "extensions" and podcasting in parallel with another project and hope to have an update soon. There's a callback structure that the script at radio.weblog.writeRss that can be used. When the script runs, it looks in a table for scripts to run in callback tables at the start and end of publishing. Ideally, your changes would go in a script in the callback table--that's where we'll put ours. This function is part of a larger initiative to create a dedicated "podcast" category in Radio, allowing new users an easier path to create RSS feeds and publish them to the web. I'll make sure to add a pref to the category page with a description like "Enable iTunes podcasting extenstions to this RSS feed?" so existing categories will work fine. Finally, I'll be writing the definitive "How to podcast with Radio" next week to go with these new changes. [house of warwick] 5:59:34 PM
