Actually, the 'main' location of the article is in the author's
(equally hard-to-find) column at:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/net022.htm

This has links and some pictures.
(And it lets you go to his past articles, of which I can recommend
the one about crank.net).

Well, I regret the overly amount of attention on myself, but
specifically asked him to change one thing: the Voynich font
was designed exclusively by Gabriel. We'll see if he complies.
It should be easy but he'd have to tell his chief editor (or
whatever) that he made a mistake.

And then, of course, he got my nationality wrong and my age right :-)

Cheers, Rene
