It’s by this guy who calls himself Fireflies, and just came out on his debut album this month I think. I learned about him from this blog.

I spent the weekend putting together this giant, awesome header thing. It collects my six most recent Flickr images, cover art for my most listened album of last week from Last.fm, then uses PHP to size and rotate all of them to fit perfectly behind this overlay template thing I made with drop-shadows in GIMP. It’s kind of amazing. Whenever I manage to do stuff like this, I always worry that the services it relies upon will disappear soon.

2008’s coming soon, and I’m not sure what to think about that.
