Download the PicLens plugin for Firefox and take your image searching full screen. A small button gets added to your browser bar and when you click it you get a beautiful fullscreen wall of the images on that page. You can even image search directly from PicLens by typing in the search field. The results get added to the wall as they download, making an ever growing scrolling display which is fun to play with even if it doesn’t return what you’re after…

I read yesterday on the Creative Review blog about the Flickr CD cover meme, the graphic design equivalent of one of those ‘what’s your porn star name?’ things. As someone who used to do a lot of CD covers in a commercial context, it made me smile.

The idea is simple, you take the first article title from this page as your band name…

Then you use the last four words in the last quote from this page as your album title…

And finally, you use the third picture from here, no matter what it is.

My result is above, as you can see I lucked out on the picture, but I really like the band name now too. I imagine they have a wicked PowerPoint presentation in their stage show…

Saw these shifty looking guys during my lunchbreak the other day, they looked like they were up to no good…

Thanks to Ryan for this one, a great Flickr set showing how some guy is going round London chopping the heads off the people in adverts. Great idea and nicely done…

OK, so you can’t actually find out exactly who is furtively flicking through your holiday pictures, but you can now find out a whole lot more about where your Flickr hits are coming from.

The site just added a stats page for pro users, go ahead and activate it here on your account…

My Virgin Trains face has been blogged on Faces in Places, the found faces blog.

There are lots of great examples on the site, check it out, as well as the accompanying group on Flickr.

I’ve been collecting these found faces for a while now, and am planning to do something with the pictures soon, so keep an eye out.

You can find my other faces here…
