Who will ever dare to say books were boring! In Germany Dressler is has the publisher who has succeeded in securing the rights for publishing the glorious trilogy of the Guild of Specialists by Joshua Mowll for the German-language market: Following first two volumes of "Operation Red Jericho" and the 2nd volume "Operation Typhoon", the third volume titled "Operation Storm City" is already available in England for some time, having been published in England in autumn 2008.
Originally coming from graphic design, Joshua Mowll was working as an illustrator for various newspapers, especially for the "Mail on Sunday". His ingenious idea of the "Guild Trilogy" won several awards, including an award for innovative children's books in 2006.

This interview begins - rather unfamiliar - with
part of an email I sent to Ari Berk, concerning my interview request.
More than anything else this text reflects the deep impact Ari's
curricullum vitae and traces in the internet has made:
Dear Ari, I began this interview as a humorous questioning of the Professor of the Order, then had a look at the pdf-File you sent with your last mail
and went all pale. I wasnt quite aware of the beauty and depth of all the things you do
and now I wonder how I can get a hold of the at least part of it.
So I thought I would really like to split the interview into two and ask one part of the questions to the member of the Order, and a second one on your work in general.
Part 2 of this interview will be published August, 9th.

I love the "-ology" books of Candlewick Press. They bring up big boy in me.
It is so wonderful to play with these books - and learn while playing. In this "-ology" book everything is about espionage. The world of secrets and agents.

On July 21st 2009, last Friday of the month of July of the year 2099, the following text was published on the home page of the now legendary site of Ted,
inventor and creator of the first ever Sysadmin Day in 2000. Ted is an icon of the world's gratitude for everything that what they do for us - our sysadmins.
Unlike 100, 90 or 80 years ago - see also the quote from the historical website http://www.sysadminday.com/ (link opens in a new window, you are leaving Zauberspiegel-online) further down - we honor the sysadmin who protect us every day from the rigo(u)rs of the injustice of the modern world data store.
In memory of the development of the past hundred years.
