The Internet Giveth

I was recently lamenting that you can't search for something on the internet with a drawing (This was spawned by a cryptic t-shirt my mother-in-law saw). Well, now there is a service to do just that...sorta. Retrievr offers the ability to search Flickr images based on a crude line drawing. Best of all, you can draw right in the browser window...you don't have to scan your drawing. It is far from perfect, but it is fun. I drew an apple and got an image of a little girl with her hair in a pony tail. I drew a capital letter "N" and got an image of a pug. It is an amazing idea that I hope is improved. Yet another way to waste time on the company dime!
