If anybody’s wallpaper belonged in an art museum rather than a desktop, it would be the wallpaper of Javier Ocasio of Studio TwentyEight. He has delivered some of the best looking and most unique wallpaper that have ever graced my PC’s desktop.
Not a believer yet? Check out some of my favorites and you soon will be…
You can get more of Javier’s work on his site or his Deviant Art profile.
Was in search for a few new visual styles for my laptop computer, and ran across these the other day on Deviant Art. Now there are a lot of ugly visual styles out there meant to replace the candy coated Windows XP skin but these three are very sleek.
For help on getting them installed, check out my previous tutorial on installing your own visual styles on Windows XP. Also big thanks to the artist of all three of these themes, from lassekongo83 Deviant Art. Fabulous work!
Need a simpler way to start your web browsing experience? One of the most original start pages I have seen in a long time is smplr.
Yep, that is it. No boxes, no RSS and nothing else to distract you. How do you use it? Type in certain keywords or phrases and it does the work for you. Here are all the commands you can use:
These are the triggers that smplr currently supports. Type one, followed by a query. go:(open a supplied url), y:(yahoo), news:(google news), w:(weather, zip code only), wiki:(wikipedia), film:(imdb), tv:(epguide), mmm:(recipes), wow:(thottbot), ebay:(ebay), game:(mobygames), bt:(thepiratebay), buy:(pricegrabber), stock:(yahoo finance), blog:(technorati), snopes:(urban legends)
They also have several themes you can pick from too - changing the background picture. All in all smplr is one unique way to start your browsing experience that can at least say it is copying nobody else out there in the start page world.
