Aliens. As seen by children. Pretty weird website, but nice drawings. This website features a series of drawings made by children who were abducted by aliens for the alien purpose of creating a new race of alien/human hybrids. The drawings show different aspects of the alien abduction phenomenon and include cruel medical procedures performed on children, children boarding alien spacecraft with other aliens, children playing with alien/hybrid children so the alien/hybrids can learn how to be human, and children being taken by aliens against their will, and the types of aliens encountered by the abducted children.

Walking Britain. This is actually quite a good idea. I should do this rather than just walking from The Blue Posts Pub in Kingly Street to The Ship Pub in Wardour Street ... With over 3000 pages of information, "Walking Britain" is dedicated to the footpaths that cross the landscape. The National Parks feature strongly including the Lake District, the Peak District and Snowdonia, not to mention the Yorkshire Dales. Also detailed are the Brecon Beacons and Pennines. Coverage of Scotland and Ireland will be improved with more emphasis on these areas in future. Also see The Walking Englishman. Via The Ministry of Propaganda. 7:39:58 PM     |

The Goddess. Lots of old Citroen brochures and ads. Via retrolounge. 5:22:53 PM     |

Letterpress. Nice little website: Fireproof Press was a letterpress printing, packaging, and design company located in Chicago, Illinois. We specialize in smaller print runs, hand-set type, custom die-cuts, and unusual requests. The service provided went beyond simple reproduction - each print was subtly different from the next, a reflection of the handprinting process. If you'd like to learn more about how we worked you'd probably enjoy this page that explains the letterpress process. 4:43:58 PM     |

Ah. Read the Guardian: In fact, the foundation for the government's claim was even shakier, according to the document: a single anonymous uncorroborated source quoting another single anonymous uncorroborated source. 10:24:55 AM     |

Pingu. The little fellow is here. Enjoy. 10:13:00 AM     |

Antropomorphic. A website about the illustrator Boris Artzybasheff. If Artzybasheff is recalled today, it is for his magazine covers but in the 40's and 50's he was known for human achines that commented wittily on the parallels between mechanical and human forms. Via dublog. 9:59:46 AM     |

California! A collection of 176 pictures of California's next Governor. Mind you, picture 149 is a bit odd... Via koewi. 9:42:16 AM     |
