This is the name of my favorite author, assembled with images from Flickr using the mashup website Spell with Flickr. How it works is better explained here, but in a nutshell it works by grabbing data from other web sites that allow this kind of borrowing. (Flickr is a prime example of a website that's big on sharing.) The ransom-note like assemblage of images you see above are not actually saved on this blog's server -- they're being pulled into the browser directly from Flickr.
This particular mashup is mainly just a fancy toy, but it shows the huge possibilities out there for sharing live data on the web.
