06:11 pm - Hello, Russians :-p

I'm starting to get the picture. Every time I post something - anything - without making it friends only, some Russian person will answer with something quite senseless.

Obviously, it is not a reaction to what I wrote. And these are all brand new journal owners.

If anyone has an idea what the point of this is I'd be interested to learn.
Because I really can't imagine what sort of criminal intent could be behind something like this.
Or any other intent, while we're at it.

Just weird. Or stupid. Or plain senseless?

06:05 pm - Contemporary weirdness

So my paper has this weekend addition that's traditionally a rather nice thing.
Columns, interesting authors, even good whole pages of good contemporary photography.

It comes with a general theme each Saturday. Today's was "What Is Now."
Subtitle: "A style magazine not about design but actual themes that are - or should be -considered in this time and age". (Or something. Hope you get the idea.)

And what is in there? A most sorry mess of typography, shrieking colours, way too much advertising, all rimless, all articles start on one page, in a tiny font, then have to be pieced together all over the chaos while page numbers more often than not have just been forgotten. Or announced wrongly.

So. What is now is that this is the first time I've actually given up on the rag and went to read my articles online.

Sign of the times? Stupidity of the publishers? Conspiracy inside?!

All kind of creepy.
But I'm sure I'm probably just in another minority here as a reader of actual papers :-D.

Anyway. Have a good weekend.
