BBB Pulp Pick - More about method

Today's mag cover is another Rockwellan beauty symbolizing summer/spring.

But that's not the real story. The cool news is how I found it. A recent New York Times article highlighted PicLens, a whole new way of looking at photos. Often I stumble around in Google Images ...



but wouldn't it be cool to see them on a 3D gallery wall of pictures?



PicLens is reminiscent of Apple's Cover Flow in design and seems to be one way the future is shaping up. I used PicLens with FireFox and Google Images but there are several options for both PC and Mac.

It's not all whiskers on kittens, though. For example, I wasn't able to find an easy way to copy the image directly to the clipboard. It'll come, I'm sure.
