Jon Foster: The 6800 miles story

What a story. Who has the film rights? I can see Brad Pitt in the lead role of Jon W Foster. We just need to figure out what the "W" stands for.

Thank you very much Jon, I'm still crying with laughter. Move over Bill Bryson!

Ana Kawajira: Space Invader arrives in Paris - We'll actually it never left

Ana (Paris 12eme) sent me this Space Invader which is cut out of a paper sheet. A new trend? In Paris we see these Space Invaders in office windows made out of post-its. Many companies have "asked" employees to remove them from their windows as it did not give a good image of the company. Hence the phrase; Those who live by the post-its, die by the post-its. Post-its is a trade mark of 3M. Whose share price today on the NASDAQ is $88.39 but is likely to hit over $96.00 by the end of…

Ana Kawajira: The Industrial Darkness Series

Another piece from Ana Kawajira which sets the wheel turning in my head.

Amy Irwen: Floating Fiber - Do you have it in your daily diet?

Amy sets out a very deep concept. Floating fibers. You never see them mention on cereal boxes, but they do exist.

Thank you Amy. I am always amazed of what you can do…

So Bifidus Jones won the word project and features on Marie's boekie. If I only would have known that, I would have returned mine, and Bifidus would have still won. The photos in this boekie were inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology about the creation of the earth and sky, according to the Book of the Dead.

Thank you Marie, it's nice to blog you. …

Louise Kiner : Italian water cup covers

Now let me get this straight. Flavored water is sent from Italy to Canada, and then the covers are used in Mail Art and sent to France. And Canada has refused to import Banana flavored water? What is this world coming to?

Good thing we have Mail Art to stabilise the economies of the world. Thank you Louise, your laminator, (make in China?) works very well. …
