Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

retrievr - Search by Sketch
This isn't working very well for me but I like the idea. retrievr let's you sketch something and then searches flickr for similar images. I'm not sure if it could ever work well, but at least someone is trying an image search that isn't text based and doesn't require manually adding metadata to all the images.

Funny, I drew something that look like a simple house, and got this pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85211810@N00/8301007/.
Seems like it works fine to me.
