Chez FLOG subordinate shill-in-chief Eric Reynolds notes a long profile of house genius Joe Sacco today in the Oregonian.
The Oregonian has a non-PII demographic thingy you click through, and at least for me, insited on throwing up a print dialog on accessing this page; you may wish to print, given that the article is seven pages long as broken up for web publication.
Things muses on relics and repositories, with a side of chocolates. The web is like a box of chocolates, you can’t stop until you realize you’ve had too much.

Alice, who loves ya, baby?
Oh man. It’s frickin’ spiritual, OK?
stacey’s finally done it – I am totally jealous of her brand-new very-old letterpress! All I ever wanted to do when I was a kid was set frickin’ type, and the goddamn computer blew the jobs right out of the water. Man! I can’t wait to play with this thing!
I’d better get some kinda insurance as a motor-driven letterpress is a great way to lose a finger or break an arm, and for some reason, I find myself drinking whenever I go over there. But damn! What a deal!
This weekend, Tom mentioned that Bloglines and NetNewsWire work well together. I had no idea. The key is that you read the bloglines-hosted (redirected?) feeds instead of the feeds directly from the original providers. Hm.

In other issues, did AVG can the free version? I cain’t lay hand to hide upon it.
NYT: Restoring Slumberland. Peter Maresca’s quixotic reprint project restores a selection of Winsor McCay’s amazing comic strip to full-size, on newsprint-like stock. The 21″ x 16″ book is priced at a bargain $120 and was printed in an edition of 5,000. The books are available for purchase via sundaypressbooks.com.
To my interest and surprise, ebay is chockablock with 1/8″ video-input headmounted ‘iGlasses.‘
Surely Apple can do better than this.

Stacey has a delicious sounding bean soup recipe. I imagine I’ll skip the whole pureeing nonsense, as the texture of a toothy bean is a sublime thing. If attacked on the grounds of non-puree, i will simply leap behind my Cuban relations.
NYT: Google, Comcast hanker after AOL.
A little bird told me about some impending uncertainty at AOL. I wonder if this news would have a positive or negative impact on that uncertainty?
