Death of an Ad Agency.
Pictured below is the last remaining bit of GGK Düsseldorf: a tiny fragment of the marble staircase. Many thanks to Stefan Scheer for the photo.
Interesting.
Over 50,000 images at the Science & Society Picture Library.

More when I’m sober again. It was fantastic; in fact it was the best Saturday night ever since my leather-jacket got stolen in the Ratinger Hof in 1979 and Peter Hein accompanied me to the Police Station.
The Rondo Competition, Part Two (3).
I’m trying to ignore all those rather disturbing alert messages and sirens here on my Mars Base. Bloody reactor, something’s definitely not working. Anyway, Nigel is out there, keeping an eye on the horizon, so I really don’t know what could go wrong.
Instead I’m listening to The Lords and their number one hit Fire. Fabulous. The cover has a nice red colour.
Of course this is all part of the Rondo Competition and intended to fool my readers. More here.
What a piece of junk.
Nigel is doing nothing but staring into the Martian distance. He’s actually supposed to collect soil samples. Stupid robot.
Being sucked in again.
Remember the fab Magic Roundabout video? Well, Armin has done some editing to it, and it still makes me feel sick. Even worse, his original Magic Roundabout page still exists. Which is great. And now click on that silly YouTube Play button, enjoy, and be ready to throw up.

Help.
As mentioned before, the incredible project of creating a printed inventory of Europe’s largest, private collection of Science Fiction novels is about to die a rather sad death, simply because there don’t seem to be enough subscribers. Which is ridiculous — 20 Euros per installment/month really isn’t that much. And it’s value for money:
Each installment includes a paperback packed with bibliographic data, plus a CD Rom with complete cover scans of the books in 150dpi resolution: dustjacket front cover, dustjacket spine, dustjacket back cover; then scans of the book cover with the dustjacket taken off.
Something needs to be done:
The Flyer The Inventory Catalogue of Europe’s Largest Science Fiction Collection is in Danger! (see above) can be downloaded here, at present only in German language with a few bits of English. Print it out and spread, share, distribute.
Much more about the whole disaster can be found in this thread at the science fiction club deutschland e.v. forum and at Helgas galaktische Funkbude. I only wish Marianne Sydow would redesign her Villa Galactica website. At present the site still looks like web 0.85, is hard to navigate and pretty ugly to say the least. However, it’s the thought that counts: and if you subscribe now you won’t end up in hell and get beaten up 24 hours a day by nasty Orks. Promised.
Basil Says.
“basil”Ants can be dangerous and gruesome at the same time.
