Twitter Fail whale... a 3D sculpture from the MAKE Flickr photo pool

MAKE Flickr photo pool member Hil writes -
[Here's] A little kinetic sculpture of the lovely Twitter Failwhale, based on the image by Yiying Lu that is used when Twitter.com is over-capacity. The image is called' Lifting up a Dreamer' I’ve wanted to make this since I first saw the image some weeks ago.
