Yes, there are monsters in the world

Recently I was involved in a discussion regarding the two Boston Marathon bombers.  It started off with someone expressing concern about the amount of anger and hatred being directed towards the bombers.

I am dismayed and afraid about the amount of hate and vengeance for the two who planted the bombs. It is spreading the attitude of vengeance in our country. I saw a quote from Ghandi this morning which I have not verified, but it struck me as true. "An eye for an eye will make ...

The Amazing Walt Disney

I’ve been doing a lot of reading on Walt Disney recently and he tale is both amazing and quintessential.  His professional life was a conflict between his desire to do amazing work with the challenges of running a business.

Early in his career, Disney was devoted to moving “cartooning” into being a serious art. His first true sound cartoon, the famous Steamboat Willy, required the invention of numerous new technologies in order to synchronize the sound with the animation.  It was ...

I saw this young man’s art this morning, and wanted to share it with you all because (imho) he’s simply incredible!

He does it all with a pencil. Not even an Adobe Pencil.  

This is the url of a simple bing search for his art:

Here are several of examples of his art:

Help finding a feature/Feature request: Sort by latest usage

Hello, I've been enjoying Fences for quite a while now. I bought it a while ago, and my version is 2.01. Even though Fences has been a lifesaver for desktop clutter, and I've finally started actually using desktop icons because of Fences, I feel it lacks a feature that'd be really useful - at least for me. Although it could be that I haven't yet found the right option, though.

I'd like to be able to sort icons in a fence by their latest usage/starting date. For instance,...

The Oblivion movie thread

My wife and I saw this on Friday.  I won’t put any spoilers in this post but suffice to say I was fairly disappointed.  Tom Cruise did about all he could do with it and the production values were amazing but the story fell flat for me.

6/10.

I am making video previews on DeskScapes 8 themes. Most of the themes that you can download has no video preview, and the preview is to small to really make out what's going on. 

Here is the playlist to the themes.

Bebop/Boopish posted this at Skinnalicious. I'm reposting it here because it concerns some WC members.

This weekend, my personal site had a rash of log in attempts from a blacklisted ip .  Nothing new there.
BUT it was trying using the following users:  madcat21, Tiggz, jjying, mikeb314, Pixstudio, Darnaez and Yangge and their corresponding passwords from somewhere.  Now, these well known skinners had never signed up at my personal site, so access was denied,  so I c...

I need a new TV series to watch

What television series would you recommend to someone to start from scratch?

For instance, I’ve never watched Lost but I don’t think I could handle 7+ years or whatever it was of shows mainly because I heard the show ended up like X-Files where the creators were kind of winging it.

Any suggestions?

I dislike toolbars and their propensity to track you and who knows what else.

Many folks have a really tough time trying to remove them and their vestiges.

This tool works. You can read about it and download it here: http://thisisudax.org/

and there’s a review here:

Fences Always on Top

Is there any way to have a fence become the topmost window when the mouse hovers over a fence?

 

When I open a fence part of it remains behind other open windows and hence some icons are not visible.

 

Many thanks

Finals and why they are evil....

I understand that college finals are a good evaluation of whether concepts are understood and I agree with this; however, I do no agree with making a final comprehensive over so much material that it dwarfs the value of previously covered material such it initial tests become irrelevant.  This makes it not a test of knowledge rather a test of memory.  This is not a great way to increase confidence or inspire others to learn its a way to weed out those that have lower memory potent...

First off, I love the DeskScapes8 software. But, one of the biggest problems I'm finding with the software is there is no way to have real world data input in an active theme. Like it would be nice to have the earth with real cloud coverage images. It would be nice to have inputs like the temp or cpu use from your computer.

Because I can't use this as anything but eye candy, I have rain meter running on 1 of my 2 monitors. This allows me to have real world data in one of my screens, a...

I really LOVE the program START8 with Windows 8. I rarely ever buy software anymore because Sourceforge always has great free software that is excellent. I even used another similar program that emulated Start Button/menu that I got from there but Start8 was much much better. Anyway I tried another program called ObjectDock. Replaces the taskbar in a way. This little program seems to be very cool and I really love some things about it. What is really making it hard to use is I cannot tell what p...
