BoingBoing has news of an artist who has come up with a great plan. Great for us… and possibly the death of the artist. Mouse has decided to create a steampunk wallpaper everyday for a year! Of course Mouse would appreciate it if you could help this project along by submitting ideas for new wallpapers. You can read a little more, and find a link to Mouse’s site (and the pretty wallpapers) at BoingBoing.
I really wish I could read German. Actually, I wish I could speak and read a lot of languages, including Japanese, especially considering the fact that I am half Japanese… but we’re talking about German here. The reason behind my wishing to read German is because there appears to be an excellent HPL/Call of Cthulhu site called “Omnia Exeunt in Mysterium”, and its all done up in German.
You can find the site here.
Or, for us non-German speaking readers, you can Googlelate it here.
According to BoingBoing, this week’s Boston Phoenix has a nice article on steampunk! Now I’m going to have to try and find a copy!
Check out BoingBoing’s article, then follow their link to the extra long Phoenix article!

“The first day someone launches a serious attack against Mac OS X, it’s going to be like Cthulhu slaughtering bunnies on Easter morning.”

Ever pictured Cthulhu in the ring of a professional wrestling match? No? Well now’s your chance! Max Riffner has created a great looking poster ad for a bout between the Old One Cthulhu and The Holy Terror, in which the fate of the world rests.
Mui excellente! Check it out at Max Riffner’s site!
Today’s set of links, some a few days old by now, is brought to you by Chaosium, Yog-Sothoth.com, Unfilmable, and Ectomo.
First, we have a link post from Yog-Sothoth.com. They’ve got news on the second book from “The Unspeakable Vault”, and the “Worlds of Cthulhu #5″.
Second, we have another YSDC link. This one about the new “Delta Green: Eyes Only“.
Next, from Unfilmable, we have the DVD release of “The Whisperer in the Darkness“. I’ll have to look into gettin one of these.
And finally, from Ectomo, we have the music video “Move Your Dead Bones“, a German Pop star’s take on Reanimator.
