Coolest Flickr Toy Ever! →[More:](from the blue)

This is a neato color arranger thingy that pulls Flickr images based on a palette you create.

Best thing is, it combines the colors you select in all of the photos.

I think I'm about to lose another hour of my life to the internet.

Pink flowers!

I wonder if I could buy photos on Flickr, besides the little stickers or cards.

What? You can BUY little stickers and cards of these?

I suspect poutine was a contribution factor in this needless fatality.

OK, this is pretty damn cool. I don't know what I'd need it for, but I love it.

The "Never Mind the Bollocks" color scheme doesn't look so punk rock based on these photos...

Weird LT Thing:

One of the reasons I'm over the moon about this toy is that it spreads out all this possibility through the spectrum.

I have this weird mental thing where if you present me with one object (say, a color or a piece of tile or what-have-you), that is subtly altered and placed in a group, that I become instantly mesmerized and somehow that my senses are heightened.

I can go to a paint store or a kitchen goods place and stare at the array of paint chips or say, Fiestaware in all the different colors and lose time.

There used to be a tile store in Seattle down by the Pike's Place Market that was like church for me.

Never mind a large lamp store - my favorite place in Ikea is the lamp section.

But question - anyone else have this trait? It's not like I want to buy these items, or that I get off on the interior design possibilities, just that one object is represented in so many different, slightly-altered ways.

Okay, I know I'm weird - but I like my weird.

I'm like that, LT, I know exactly what you mean.

Holy, I don't normally get jazzed about Flickr stuff but that is fucking cool.
