A Few Thousand Sci Fi Covers

The SF Cover Explorer is an experimental -- and quite nifty -- image-browsing interface by Jim Bumgardner of krazydad.com. At the time of this entry, he had 3,448 covers "arranged horizontally by time, with earlier covers to the left, and more recent covers to the right" [from his write-up on how it was made]. Here is an image that shows the interface in action:

If you like science fiction, have an interest in programming (Perl/Flash/PHP), or just harbor some nostalgia for pulp culture, you will want to check this out.
