How silly.
There are now 4 new coverpop mosaics of Flickr goodness, with a few more on the way.

333 Great books for kids is one of a dozen new interactive mosaics I’ve added to my coverpop website. You can find the others by noodling around on the menus on the right, after you go there. More books, more DVDs, more clothes & accessories.
All the amazon-powered mosaics on the site are [...]

You asked for ‘em, you got ‘em. In addition to my new collection of 3,200 Jigoku puzzles, I have added 4,800 Kakuro puzzles and 1,600 Krypto Kakuro puzzles to my collection of free printable e-books.

The Old Time Candy website has over 200 kinds of classic candy, many of which are hard to find at the local candy store.
I created a new coverpop mosaic showing all their selections, and you can play with it here.
