I've got my Book of Blogging Laws on the desk in front of me, and I'm in the process of breaking one of the sacred things:

Law 4 (Intervals)

1. The blogger should not publish more than one post on his/her Blog in a single day.
(i) A day does not constitute 24 hours, but instead, the date the previous post was published.
(ii) Hence, if a post was published at 14:45 on the 6th September 2005, it is fair-play to publish a new post at 10:12 on the 7th September 2005.
(iii) To avoid confusion, it must be made clear that it is fair-play to publish a post at 23:55 on one day, and only a few minutes later, at 00:05 on the following day, to publish a new post.
(iv) However, it is not advised to publish a post at 00:05 in the morning on one day, and to publish a new post at 23:55 in the evening of the same day.

2. The only time this law should be broken, is when two unconnected and unconnectable issues of particular import need to be addressed without delay.

And this is what has happened today.


Earlier, I received an e-mail from an old pal, who has recently sewn up the seams of contact with me, and by way of this e-mail, he alerted me to the existence of an Artist called Julian Beever. Now, to look at the above photograph, one might assume that his vocation concerns the art of slicing up slabs of pavement and stamping around on the ensuing ground. That isn't the case. Julian has in fact drawn those two items (pit and slab of pavement) on the pavement itself. From what I've managed to gather from a couple of websites, he creates this 3-Dimensional illusion by drawing the things in a distorted way, such that when viewed from the correct angle, they appear to be solid objects. Absolutely fantastic. I won't spoil the magic by waffling on any more - just go and look at his stuff. It's magical.
