fd's Flickr toys have gotten quite a bit of attention by the flickr community recently. They really are neat, allowing for multiple hours of fun messing with photos. I especially think the badge maker is kinda funny. Another tech thing, Yahoo's Widgets, are fun to play with. Basically, they're easy-to-manage mini programs fro your desktop with things like a photo slideshow, clocks, werewolf detectors, to-do lists (very helpful!) and things like that. Plus, you can make your own or browse through others that user have created. Now, if you have widgets and use flickr, you can use fd's flickr uploader widget! I already have it sitting just in front of my FLCL desktop. Very cool little tools.
Speaking of FLCL, I made a minifig-scale Canti! Here's the whole gallery. I used Micah Bergers Arm design, and that worked quite well on the scale I was going for. The head is by far the best part, and that was the ispiration for building him too, I just grabbed two teeth bits and shoved em on a travis brick.
And Danny Rice, probably best known for his recent Porphyrion, has made an Ohm. He's had some practice in animals too, with his scorpion and almost-award winning squids (Damn you Bryce!) In a word (or...sentance) Ohm are large armored beetle-like beasts roaming the wasteland in the Miyazaki film Nausicaa of the Vally of the Wind. They become valuble for the people, as the shells can be used as materials for building in the vast desert. The only person I've ever seen attempt a brick-built ohm is this guy. He made Nausicaas flyer very well, but his Ohm is undersized and not too accurate. Danny rocks.
