I am also intrigued by Giovanni's mysterious land. Is it a true picture or is it a computer graphic work?


It's a photo... " Tree Remains, Bifue, Hokkaido, Japan, 2004" by Michael Kenna...

How can you read the filenames with so a image (trees)? It is not disturbing? And you see it every day?

After one hour any image would be "to much" for me. I only use smooth colors where I can read the names of the files.

For me the desktop more or less is a buffer for files I can't find a suitable folder for in my rather organized brakdown. After some time they are either put in a suitable folder or in the garbage can.
A black, blue or standard Windows wall paper is rather dull in my opinion and I like to choose a photo I made somewhere. By the way, the filenames on the real desktop are far better readable than the screenshot suggests.

Thanks, Monika!

Presto is probably the funniest Pixar short film I've seen and, together with Geri's Game, one of the (two) best.

Cronopio Wallpaper Sep 27, 2008

I set up a new wallpaper based on a singing cronopio (when a cronopio sings, he raises his arms as if he were holding up the sun). The cronopio was designed by a very talented artistcronopio (when a cronopio sings, he raises his arms as if he were holding up the sun). The cronopio was designed by a very talented artist.



PS. I love the Wall-e desktop paper.

Claudia, I love this!!!
It reminds me very much of a Namco videogame, "Katamari". They used to sing too, in a way. The game was absolutely nonsense, and that's why I loved it so much..!

Take a look:

and the human commercial
