technomancy

Gerade einen Bericht im Ct-Magazin übers iPhone gesehen, die haben doch glatt folgende crossreferenz vergessen:

"He pulled the smart brown box out of his pocket and flipped it open. The pointy-eared face of a small green imp stared up at him with that wistful, hopeless smile which, in its various incarnations, he'd come to know and dread. 'Good Morning, Insert Name Here! I am the Dis-Organizer Mark Five, "The Gooseberry"TM. How may I--' it began, speaking fast in order to get as much said as possible before the inevitable interruption. 'I swear I switched you off', said Vimes. 'You threatened me with a hammer,' said the imp accusingly, and rattled the tiny bars. 'He threatens state-of-the-Craft technomancy with a hammer, everybody!' it shouted. 'He doesn't even fill in the registration card! That's why I have to call him Insert Nam--' 'I thought you'd got rid of that thing, sir,' said Angua as Vimes snapped the lid shut. 'I thought it had had an ... accident.' 'Hah!' said a muffled voice from the box. 'Sybil always gets me a new one,' said Vimes, making a face. 'A better one. But I know this one was turned off.' The box's lid thrust upwards. 'I wake up for alarms!' the imp shrieked. 'Ten colon Forty-Five Sit for Damn Portrait!' Vimes groaned. [...] 'I won't be able to make it, ' he mumbled. 'Then would you like to engage the handy-to-use BluenoseTM Integrated Messenger Service?' 'What does that do?' said Vimes with deep suspicion. [...] 'Er, basically, it means me running with a message to the nearest clacks tower really fast,' said the imp hopefully. 'And do you come back?' said Vimes, hope also rising. 'Absolutely!' 'Thank you, no,' said Vimes. 'How about a game of Splong!TM, specially devised for the Mark Five?' pleaded the imp. 'I have the bats right here. No? Perhaps you would prefer the ever-populat Guess My Weight in Pigs? Or I could whistle one of your favourite tunes? My iHUMTM function enables me to remember up to one thousend five hundred of your all-time--' 'You could try learning to use it, sir,' said Angua, as Vimes once again shut the lid on the protesting voice. 'Did use one,' said Vimes. 'Yup. As a doorstop,' rumbled Detritus, behind him."

Drive Thru

Da hat man schon mal Deutschlands erste Drive Thru Gallery in der Nähe - Aschersleben - und was machen die Vandalen letzte Nacht? Sie zerschneiden die vier Medienwände mit einem Messer... Sollte man jetzt als Drive Thru Cut bezeichnen und als Kunst stehen lassen. Drive Thru Gallery
