Flickr Mashups

Today, I explored some of the cool mashups that can be created with Flickr. It's amazing how many things you can do with a photograph. I particularly enjoyed fd's Flickr Toys. I'm intrigued by patterns, and fd (AKA John Watson) has some great mashups that convert your photo or graphic into some fascinating patterns (e.g., jigsaw puzzle, color palette, Warhol painting, beads). I probably like the jigsaw the best and wish you could create an actual puzzle with it (I'm sure there's another tool out there that does just that!). Where do these people find the time to come up with these things? I'm so non-creative I just can't comprehend!
