For a weekend's web musings. Posted on 06/08/2002.

At the bookstore I impulsively purchased The Ganzfeld No. 2, a beautifully designed book, with a collection of... well... stuff that's visually interesting. Among my favorite pieces is the section devoted to Peter Blegvad, who, among other things, is the proprietor of Amateur. That site is well-worth clicking around. I'm a particular fan of "Imagined, Observed, Remembered", and "The Spirit in the Thing," an essay on milk.
