Desktop backgrounds

Desktoptopia Preferences dialogue Just a few days ago I got fed up with my desktop background again. I was wondering whether there was no such thing as a subscription service to nice wallpapers. Ideally downloading automatically. My searching was aiming at some podcast-like service until I discovered a blog post by Veerle Pieters on a little application / system extension for Mac OS X named Desktoptopia.

This little extension downloads wallpapers from an online archive and gives you the chance to rate, skip, and reject them. In case you want to go back to a previous one there is an option for that as well. All these options are available from a handy little button in the menu.

Book: 29 Palms, CA

29 Palms, CAThis book shows some great polaroid pictures taken during the film project of the same title: 29 Palms, CA. Partly due to the expired film material used during the shooting there are some great unimitable effects within the pictures. A must-have-book! ยป buy at SCHWARZERFREITAG
