Ivan Mladek may lately be mistaken for being from Poland, because of the recent enormous popularity of "Jozin z bazin" among Polish internauts ;] but his definetely a Czech.

Pietryq, probably you're right. I"m from Poland and I know that everyone knows "Jozin..". There is also polish version of this song, made by Kabaret Pod Wyrwigroszem with alternative lyrics about polish politicians. If you are interested in: http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=v0eHLz1H-aE
It sounds funnier if you know polish, understand lyrics and notice their strong accent.

Cool post.
Re: the custom barcodes on products, the late Rick Tharp, a graphic designer here in the U.S., was also known for that. It caused a bit of a stir at the time. I want to say that he did it first, during the late eighties, but in the absence of solid research, I shouldn't. Who knows ... perhaps he got the idea from the Japanese.
Hmph. Maybe I shouldn't write rambling comments on others' blogs when I've just woken up.

Back in the early days of bar codes on periodicals, Mad Magazine used to do some quite imaginative things to the bar codes on the front cover. Look at the

Barcodes carry a lot of information, but one neat thing about them is the permutations of the word:

The German steampunk stuff is not "Nazi", but for a fictional German Empire, doubtless inspired by that of the Kaiser.
("Deutsches Reich" just meaning "German Government"; that's why the Nazis were the "Third Reich", because they were the third notional unified German state, after the Holy Roman Empire and the Kaiser's unification of Germany.
The term has no specific relation to fascism and its repulsive ideology.)

I think the "blue lego-spaceship thingy" is the military spaceship from "Aliens" (which carried Ripley and a detatchment of Marines back to the planet where the beastie was found).
I want to say it was the Scirroco, or Suroko, or something like that.
Best of the series, IMHO

The M.C. Escher model was built by Andrew Lipson, whose page is
here. Sadly, that picture has been reposted all over the internet without credit to the builder.
The life-size Han Solo in Carbonite is by Nathan Sawaya, not Erik Varszegi.
This is his post about it on LUGNET.
The Homeworld-inspired blue spaceship and the gray fighter right below it were built by Danny Rice, whose Flickr page is

Do naval vessels (American or British) typically have large rocket engines in their aft quarters?
You're both wrong, I'm afraid. It's quite clearly a Republic heavy cruiser from the Star Wars prequels. ;-) It's beautifully done, even duplicating the color scheme of Republic livery.

The "vintage arrangement" above is Toto's keyboardist, Steve Porcaro, arranging the wiring on his analog synth system in the studio, probably sometime in 1977-78 or so. I recognize the face, even though I've never seen that actual picture. Back in those days, synths came in "stacks", since they were pretty much analog. Nowadays, just like computers, one digital keyboard system replaces that entire mess...

The 'unnecessary' bends in the pipes are mostly to allow the pipes to expand and contract (due to thermal changes) without breaking - since a pipe can BEND OK, but they don't COMPRESS (longitudinally) very well at all!

Those phone wires actually aren't that bad. I mean, they're not attractive, but as long as they all go where they say they're going, then the tangles don't really matter.
Until you get a short or an open halfway down the cable. Then you're fucked no matter what.
