You can't fault artist Christoph Niemann for not being bold. Together with his wife, Lisa, Niemann attempted to recreate a pixilated version of a great work of art in his bathroom using four-by-four-inch tile. Read about his selection process and see the final result on his blog. Personally, I liked his kids' bathroom better where the bathroom tile was laid out to recreate the Berlin subway map.

It's what the mobile music experience could be

This project started as I explored ways to view lyrics while listening to my music library on the iPod Touch. Ideas kept coming and I added some concepts (and code) from iMovieMash.com plus great content from the multitude of public video, music and search APIs.

The result was iMusicMash.com, an iPhone and Android G1 social web application that takes your music experience to a whole new level of enjoyment and discovery. You can start with the friends' playlists we already have or load your own iTunes music library. The interface is familiar as it mimics the iPhone's iPod. For each artist, we bring photos from Yahoo Boss Image Search, concert dates from Eventful, and live Twitter discussions. Then, for each song, we bring great YouTube videos, lyrics from LyricWiki, similar songs from Last.fm, and friends' songs for the same artist.

I recently added lyrics search and artist/title search.

iMusicMash was a winner in the Yahoo Developer Mashup contest at the recent Mashup Camp in Mt. View, California.

My experience with origami started and ended with a third-grade project that left me in tears. But seeing this origami masterpiece by Japanese artist Wataru Itou, who spent four years building it, made me want to take another stab at the art form. Perhaps the most amazing part of this massive [...]
