That particular one is from Keith Ohlfs, I believe from his Pixelsight project. All the stuff I do on <a href="http://wigflip.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wigflip.com/</a> is a pale imitation of what he was doing 15 years ago. <a href="http://www.ohlfs.com/keith/self/next/next.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ohlfs.com/keith/self/next/next.html</a> has a bit of info about his NeXT days.

Hmm, it doesn't seem able to find the old-style EFF blue ribbons much of anywhere, even though I know they're still up in a lot of places: <a href="http://www.tineye.com/search/8a8b9792d6d6056dec92d993595e6d9b3707b9b5" rel="nofollow">http://www.tineye.com/search/8a8b9792d6d6056dec92d993595e6d9...</a>

Suprised to see an HSBC website in that list <a href="http://online.hsbc.com.mt/html/borrow/lr.htm" rel="nofollow">http://online.hsbc.com.mt/html/borrow/lr.htm</a>

Here's another.<p><a href="http://www.tineye.com/search/50e877ce68b44445cd67010b2db7541bfe2d7961" rel="nofollow">http://www.tineye.com/search/50e877ce68b44445cd67010b2db7541...</a>

Is this a viral form of something called advertising?<p>Just my thought!

Die gif die.
