I keep staring at this window covering made of Kodachrome film slides and thinking of stained glass windows in churches. It’s so gorgeous and you could easily make a curtain like it yourself.

Apple’s in “no comment” mode. Which hopefully means “no comment because we’re so busy working on a patch.” [CW]
