StumbleUpon - urbancores web site reviews and blog: Sep 2, 2007 11:48am 1 review stumblers, images
http://urbancore.stumbleupon.com/review/12095461/; She' pretty hot! via the excellent blog of urbancore
She' pretty hot! More interesting than a painting. Nature has no prejudice. It flows on the waves that are constructing the present. There is no will at work here simply availability to the elements. Compare this with Hockney's latest work. Here is visibly the will to beat a record and he used the computer to beat the record. But what springs immediately to the eye is the flatness, the lifelessness of the painter's representation when contrasted with the availability suggested in the picture posted by urbancore.

Henning Wagenbreth: Jan 22, 2007 7:27am 3 reviews counterculture, graphic-design, images, web
http://www.wagenbreth.de/; NOT A SCAM via Rhizome.org in www.wagenbreth.de
According to a recent report, spam comprises 74 percent of all emails sent globally. Because of the overwhelming quantity of spam sent, spammers have had to become increasingly more creative in their attempts to lure the reader. Whether it's solicitations for bizarre coupling procedures or prize notifications from the Newfoundland lottery, spam's clever and not so clever attempts at manipulation play with the curiosity, desire and fantasy of the reader. As a peculiar cultural artifact, spam has provided ample fodder for creative interpretation by many artists. Recently, comic artist Henning Wagenbreth created the book Cry for Help: 36 Scam Emails from Africa, in which he compiles and illustrates the most bizarre, outlandish, and salacious of the genre of spam known as the 'Nigerian scam email.' In a typical email, the sender personally addresses the reader in an effort to enlist their help in an impossibly lucrative business deal. Wagenbreth illustrates these humorously unbelievable dramas in colorful woodblock and linocut designs. The artist culls his style from the underground comic culture of the 1980s as well as Eastern European illustration and decided to begin the project in order to immortalize and document this particular variety of spam, before its unwilling audience deletes it forever. - Ceci Moss NOT A SCAM

Once in a time you come across some real pearl on the web. Here is one such pearl. Great "Graphiks" and dark humor.

APOD: 2007 January 21 - The Sombrero Galaxy in Infrared: Jan 21, 2007 6:40am 6 reviews astronomy, visualization, images
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070121.html; The Sombrero Galaxy in Infrared
Credit: R. Kennicutt (Steward Obs.) et al., SSC, JPL, Caltech, NASA Explanation: This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is part of the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in optical light actually glows brightly in infrared light. The above image shows the infrared glow, recently recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope, superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in optical light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, spans about 50,000 light years across and lies 28 million light years away. M104 can be seen with a small telescope in the direction of the constellation Virgo. Astronomy Picture of the Day The Sombrero Galaxy in Infrared

Another great visualization of something that our eye can't see... what we see is the visualization obtained by the use of technology developed by our brains... This is realism at its best. A realism of the 21st century that stands in stark contrast to the realism of early modernity (landscapes, portraits and stills) and how beautiful it is... When will the holders of the word about visual arts start to recognize that this kind of image is going to revolutionize the visual arts and finally confirm the validity of the research undertaken by the thinking-painters who set the stage for high modernity?

Exhibited: "National Treasures from Australia's Great Libraries". Touring exhibition December 2005 - August 2007, organised by the National Library of Australia. AuCNL; Library holds two complete sets at RBN ef F4773 with a supplementary volume published in 1869. The National Library of Australia has digitized all 7 volumes of John Gould's drawings of Australian birds. Of course, this one is my favorite. The Birds of Australia : in seven volumes by John Gould.

Wow! What an impressive work and in the end the author had to self publish!
London : Published by the author, 1848 (London : Printed by Richard and John E. Taylor) It was thus not much better then than now after all... in terms of publishing I mean.

Rogers Mushrooms | Mushroom Pictures &Mushroom Reference: Nov 11, 2006 7:47pm 42 reviews botany, images, free-tools
http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/; RogersMushrooms via Metafilter / owhydididoit, in RogersMushrooms Online.
The site is based on Roger Phillips seminal work 'Mushrooms and other fungi of Great Britain and Europe' and the similar book published on the mushrooms and Fungi of North America. Roger's twenty-year study will make the site the most complete collection of photographs and mushroom information from both sides of the Atlantic ever assembled. We already have over 3000 images on our site to help you identify and learn more about the mushrooms of Europe and North America! RogersMushrooms is now completely free to access! RogersMushrooms

Excellent guide of mushrooms in the EU and in the US. I'm a plucker and find it strange that, in the US, books on mushrooms are not available in bookstores while in Europe you find them in most bookstores. But ok why complain when RogersMushrooms is free. This year mushrooms were plentiful in Wisconsin. We mostly ate Coprinus comatus (coprin chevelu) and Russula aeruginea
