- A Flickr API version of UK-obsession Sudoku done with any tagged pictures - this has got to have been absolutely everywhere One of the best uses I've seen for the API yet - which pushes the whole concept of what you might do with Flickr photos in an entirely new direction. Lovely, funny job... (Thanks Siobhan!)
- The Electrolux ZA1 Trilobite - The automatic vacuum cleaner After seeing (and playing with) Cal's amazing Roomba, I now have a craving for this £900 sonar-based robotic hoover...

Flickr Sudoku is great, but got to credit its inventor Becky Énvérité

The cheap shop in the N1 Centre in Islington that sells random things and which is German (this is a terrible description, isn't it?), possibly called Tschibo, seems to have been selling a robotic vacuum cleaner for about 90 quid. Somehow I doubt that something at that price is wonderful, but it might be worth looking at.
You seem to have an encoding issue, by the way.

Glad you enjoyed Flickr Sudoku. It sprung from an idea to do something jokey that combined as many blog fads at once at the same time. It was only after I'd had the concept of how shamelessly faddy Flickr Sudoku would be that I realised I could actually program it!
