DIY: Wine Bottle Light from Wit and Whistle. A unique idea for the upcoming holiday season. (via lifehacker)
Sunday smile: “Hippo Love” by =HannahHavoc on deviantART. (Moomins rather than hippos, actually, but why quibble? Sadly, Hannah missed out on the delights of Moomintroll when growing up.) What a beautiful flashback to childhood. I so want that mug!

A stunning tapestry made of wild spider silk is on display at the American Museum of Natural History. Woven from silk thread produced by more than a million wild spiders in Madagascar, the tapestry measures 11 feet by 4 feet, and took 80 people four years to make. That gorgeous golden saffron is the silk’s natural colouring. Read the article, or check out this fascinating video for more. (via kottke.org; photos from AMNH)
Bio-Diversity by NYTime’s Christoph Niemann is a clever use of leaves to visualize all sorts of ideas, from bad puns to food to downright silliness. Because we all need a bit of intelligent silliness in our lives. (via kottke.org)

CheckPlaces: Easily clean up your Firefox bookmarks
In spite of my love for zen-like simplicity, I can be a bit of a packrat - and often an uber-organized one at that. As a result, my Firefox bookmarks have evolved into an intricate heirarchy of folders, subfolders, and so on, with almost all of them chock-full of useful links. The CheckPlaces add-on quickly identifies defunct and duplicated links in your bookmarks, making it remarkably easy to do a bit of spring cleaning. It’s a new Firefox must-have. (via Lifehacker)
"Gmail Unread Message Count in Favicon" for Greasemonkey has been updated
Gmail recently changed its API so this great Greasemonkey script (which I rely on more than I realized) stopped working. The author updated it this week to accommodate Gmail’s recent changes, so once again it’s displaying my message count right in the tab’s favicon. Sounds trivial, I know, but it’s amazing how quickly you get used to it - and miss it when it’s gone!
