PicLens; Awesome Photo Viewer Add-On for Firefox

This has to be one of the coolest add-ons for Firefox. With this installed, visit a Flickr site. You’ll see a little “play” button appear when you hover over an image. Hit “play” and interact to your heart’s content!
If you don’t have a Flickr page to go to, you can always use mine.
Nice find, DT!
Bowed Piano Ensemble

Can we make playing the piano anymore complicated? Apparently so.
To get a sense of what the bowed piano is, imagine a grand piano with the lid lifted off. Ten musicians crowd around, leaning over the innards of the instrument, like a team of surgeons performing an operation.
The primary sound is produced by a bow of nylon fish-line, which is rosined, and that’s just threaded under the piano string and across it. There’s another kind of bow, which is a stick of wood which has horse hair affixed to it, and that’s rubbed against the strings to produce a short, percussive sound.
Canon 5200mm Mirror Lens

Need to take photos of something 18 to 32 miles away? Get one of these.
It’s awesome to see a lens with its own sighting scope. Can you find the SLR camera in the brochure page?
The Wine Rack

Yes, it’s for real. The product description is hilarious. This would make the perfect gift for some women (and men) I know.
The Spice Gun

For the culinary assassin in all of us.
My Three Parents

Talk about taking that threesome to a whole new level.
In three to five years, a baby will be born with two genetic mothers and one father. This could prove to be a boon for polyamorous families of the future who want to have children with more than two parents. A team of British researchers working with embryos have now perfected the three-parent babymaking technique.
Folding Bike Wheels
I can imagine this being handy for bike couriers in the city or commuters who want to stow their bike in a luggage compartment during the train portion of their commute.
I’m betting this will be pretty expensive initially.
Perpetual Motion?
Looks convincing…
What do you guys think?
