Sunset on the West Coast (Washington State) as seen from a 2005 Toyota Sienna rear window. Not bad for one of those stupid little dinky cameras?
The little clock was made by robinwmills (http://clanmills.com/articles/cocoatutorials/) and it makes it easy to see what time it is.
EDIT: I'll upload it on a quicker connection

That's what I thought after a while, so I reminded myself that my Mac is meant to be an earning tool!

Is that a shapeshifter desktop? Pretty cool.

My son at the track. I had to flip the photo for the desktop so that he wasn't by the icons.

Nice shot! A few minutes in Photoshop and no one would be the wiser...

So, I just installed Windows 7, and I believe the best desktop comes *with* the install:

Nice cartoon, are you running windows 7 on a mac using vmware?

johngpt · 06-08-2010, 10:32 PM

Anti, actually it does have a certain appeal, doesn't it.

Bootcamping, since I need the performance. I mostly do games with Win7.

Also, one must think: What was going through MS's head when they included these desktops?

Just put up a copy of a painting which is way busier than my usual very quiet desktop. I don't expect it will stay up too long. I elected to leave some solid margin so I could find my oft-used folders.

Anti · 06-16-2010, 04:26 AM

I'll bring something colorful to the table. http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/486...00616at123.png

When I first got into OS X back in like 2002, I used to have the same screen saver and background as my Linux box on my Mac...

I worked tech support and users would come in and be like man, your computer just totally crashed dude!

Irene · 06-16-2010, 11:44 AM

As I expected, I reverted to a nice quiet desktop. Pity that I could not buy the actual framed artwork of that busy picture which I had admired in a gallery. It might work better on a wall.

johngpt · 06-16-2010, 07:32 PM

I commonly go long periods without changing my desktop background, but I've been changing frequently lately.

Funny, I'm actually buying a Windows box tomorrow. Err, laptop.

Anti · 06-18-2010, 03:11 AM

Got the tablet out of the box and all set up:

That's a vibrant desktop!

Time for retro.
