- Gibson Robot Guitar – The guitar is tuned by tiny servo motors that tune all strings in no more than five seconds.

The Beastie Boys have a Flickr feed where they post pics from the road as they tour with their new album, The Mix-Up, a funky all-instumental disc.

Some great pics. Didn’t know Mike D went all stylish with his hair!
More info on The Mix-Up here.

Flickr was originally intended to be Flicker but the domain name for the website was already taken.
”We thought about some alternatives and then decided to just drop the e,” said Stewart Butterfield, Flickr’s chief executive. ”It’s a little more distinctive than a generic name.”
I guess Flickr’s popularity must’ve inspired other web 2.0 startups to omit vowels from their brand names.
