Quite Right. Dave, what happened to my Bishop Information Minister? Can you believe it -- there are weblogs that turn away traffic based on referrer. This is bad practice. These people seriously need to take a refresher course in what the Web is about and how important links are and stop screwing around with them. I won't read sites that do this, and I certainly won't point to them. You should let the authors of the sites know that you won't either. If they don't want to be linked to, just take the site off the Web. [Scripting News] 5:29:52 PM     |

Been a long time. Here's another Raumpatrouille picture. Orion's Astrogator Atan Shubashi in trouble. The English trailer of the stupid movie is still here (Quicktime 3.7 MB) at the Schwanstein TV website. Oh - the German trailer version is here (4.4MB) in a much better resolution. 4:22:21 PM     |

Oh, Good Grief. The stuff that's out there - unbelievable. Here's a gallery of Zombie Pinups. Enjoy. 1:24:11 PM     |

Brave New World. [2] Design studies of new mobile phone devices. Nice, but I keep asking myself: who needs all of this shit? Who's going to buy it? No wonder the industry is in a crisis. Via linkfilter. 1:04:21 PM     |

Yellow Kid. First part of a series of articles about the history of American newspaper strips at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Thanks Oliver and his fab Stör-Signale! 10:52:35 AM     |

Collotype. At the Museum And Workshop of the Druckhaus Dresden. In the printing trade, collotype is considered to be the most noble and most complete reproduction technique. The Munich court photograph Joseph Albert perfected collotype printing around 130 years ago. He also followed up research carried out by Cyprien Tessié, Charles Raphael Maréchal and A. Louis Poitevin. Unlike his predecessors, who used lithographic stone or metal plates, he chose thick glass plates. 10:15:51 AM     |
