DESKTOPS: New Desktops and more at Time Out Of Mind.
|
Go ahead and count them! You won't believe that Don Larson has posted 15 new desktops at Time Out Of Mind! The fans in his iMac must be working overtime to keep the processors cool.
If you like iTunes, Don used Quartz Composer to make a couple of cool Visualizers. Take a lok at Kover Kubes versions 1 and 2, and pick your favorite.

DESKTOPS: Two New Desktops in the Archive
|
Visit the M2 Download Archive and checkout the two newest submissions. On the left is Hollywood Sunset from my drinkin' buddy, Russ Grubbs; and on the right, just in time for the release of Harrison Ford's next movie, is Indiana Tribute by Tim Fehr.
Tim is from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, the home of the great Leinenkugel Brewery. So while we've never had a beer together, I'm gonna think of him this weekend when I enjoy my Leine Red, then we'll sorta be virtual drinkin' buddies. Right?

|
This is a great desktop for a Friday afternoon.Iin fact, it's making me damn thirsty! Studio 52 posted a rendered can of Guinness for your computer! (Scroll down a bit for the link)
It reminds me of when I was a baby and my Irish Mum would fill my bottle with the dark elixir. I think I'll have to go pour myself a pint right now!

DESKTOPS: Hollywood from My Ex-friend, Russ
|
I hate my buddy, Russ Grubbs. Yesterday, while sheets of rain poured down on a freezing Chicago, he called from his home by Santa Monica's beach to tell me how nice the weather was. Then, as if to rub salt in my wound, he sent some nice desktops he snapped around LA and Burbank.
Today I'm posting the first of these images, Hollywood 08. Please don't download it. Let's send a message to Russ that we don't care about all the beautifully tanned blond women that surround him everyday! We don't need his sunny blue skys and 80 degree weather!

DESKTOPS: Time Out Of Mind Posts Three New Large Desktops
|
Don Larson from Time Out of Mind has posted three new 1920x1200 desktops for you to enjoy! We Are Stardust was created using using the Apophysis application.
Not only is Nocturnal Inquisitor a desktop, it's a short story and a GarageBand song! This desktop was also created using Apophysis, a Java graphics app similar to Flame and Oxidizer.
And finally, Other Side Of Wonder is a Bryce image which also has a matching tune.
(I find it interesting when Don releases music to accompany his desktops. When I first look at his image, it conjures a certain feeling, then I'll listen to the song which often reinforces my perception, but sometimes takes me in an entirely different direction. It got me thinking how much more immersive it would be if when you selected a desktop picture from the System Preferences it also played song.)

DESKTOPS: Earth Hour Chicago Desktop
|
On March 29th, I drove to downtown Chicago to see the city's darkened skyline. From 8 pm to 9 pm, all the major skyscrapers shut off most of their lights. It was eerie. This picture was taken on the Lake Michigan shore between the Shedd Aquarium
and the Adler Planetarium. Earth Hour Chicago is available in two sizes: 1600x1200, 1680x1050.

DESKTOPS: Dual Monitor "Basil" and More from Mandolux
|
The King of Dual Monitor Desktops, Mandolux, has created several new pairs for your enjoyment. Basil, previewed on top, casts the herb in a new light.
I'm not sure what statement the artist wished to create with Cut Back, but I like it. The image of the American flag triggers feelings of patriotism, but the old girl's looking a little tattered lately.
Other recent additions to the site include the German flag and Mint herb!

The newest desktop from Don Larson is meant to illustrate the difficulties of public speaking. "It attempts to illustrate that their course

more open passage awaits them beyond on their journey."

DESKTOPS: Kiss Me I'm Irish: St. Pat's Desktops for the Weekend!
|
When I was a kid, my friends always said, "Your parents talk funny". To me, they didn't sound different from any other parent, but my buddies could hear the thick Irish brogue (that's accent for you yanks). Both my parents are from Ireland, so I was raised on Irish Jigs and my baby bottle was filled with Guinness (No need to call Family Services, I kid, I kid). So this St. Patrick's weekend is a big event full of music and beer! If you can say the same, why don't you download some of these great desktops!
The Holiday Spot has a collection of 6 nice images. Well, really 5 nice ones and another of a leprechaun trying to look sexy. I think the words sexy and leprechaun are mutually exclusive!
Want a little less green and a little more culture? Mythical Ireland features desktops with a Celtic design. There are 16 from which to choose in multiple sizes.
Okay, enough culture. Let's get back to drinking and sexy, sexy leprechauns. Flash Screen has a dozen comical desktops with a full range of imaginary beings (Sorry kids, leprechauns aren't real). This images are only 1024x768, but at 200 pixels per inch, they should scale nicely on your huge Apple monitor. Now, where did I set my Guinness...
Do you like your desktops with a little more realism? Then visit Kats Meow. There are half a dozen photos from County Mayo (which happens to be where my parents are from). Now, where did I set my Guinness...
