Customizing Windows So, you tired of the drab Windows GUI? Not to worry, there are many folks with nothing better to do with their time either. Check out some of the spiffy, snazzy, and jazzy ways you can unwind your middle finger at Mr. Gates. All for fun of course -- and if your computer dies a horrible death, don't blame me! From a design perspective though, you will find some really creative stuff happening here.
  • winCustomize - an online community dedicated to so much desktop mods, you'll either spend the rest of your life here or run away screaming! Here's a few of the cool images I found at the site for wallpapers: Archangel (from X-Men), Rift, Stained, Purple Lightness, Digital Inversion, Gyrations, Titan Reflections, and Navigation. There's actually much more there than I have time to browse through.
  • File Forum - this site has more than just pretty things. It actually has files covering just about every aspect of your PC.
  • Stardock - these guys are professional -- so professional, that you have to buy their products. But what great produts they are!
  • Mac Desktops - OK -- not for PCs -- although you could download a Mac wallpaper and scare the hell out of people in the office.
  • XP Theme - this is a site for changing XP. If you use XP that is. There are some cool wallpapers, but you gotta register before you get to them, and I didn't.

The Brothers Grimm -- This was an OK fantasy movie, moving at a good pace, with the appropriate level of action and humour. The special effects were well done -- and so was the cinematography. If you missed it in the theatre, you didn't miss much however. You can catch it on DVD. The Aristocrats -- This is a movie about a joke. One joke. That's it.
