Dynamic Earth HD Screensaver

Hey Guys,

So this is pretty exciting - These guys have developed an awesome web orientated screensaver that dynamically changes based on information based on weather, and census. Looks a little like Google Earth when you give it a little knock and the world slowly rotates.

Check out the clip below to see it in action:


You can snag the download here

Really worth checking out - It is very, very cool

Cursors (no really, just bare with me)

Hey Guys,

I'm more than adequately aware that adding new cursors is a little bit outdated - I really do agree too, the Windows 7 and Windows Vista cursor sets are very nice, and undeniably functional.

But, for the sake of customization, I've hunted down a few really nice ones, which you might juuuust decide are worth using at home:

Entis - LINK


Mario Glove - LINK


Comix Cursors Black (I'm currently using


Black: LINK
White: LINK




Iea - LINK



For more, and trust me there are a lot more out there, a great place to start is DeviantArt - Honestly the most polished ones live there.

For a guide to how to change your cursor in Windows 7 check out THIS page! (If you would like a guide for other OS, make sure to let me know :] )

Hope you found something you like!

Screensavers! (My Favourites)

Hey Guys,

Lets face it, the screensavers that come with Windows are, well, terrible... Mac has a bit of an advantage, as we all know the OS is style over substance.

So, why not take one of the screensavers below and make your computer chill out in style ; ) (you may recognise Flurry from OSX ... that's because it is from OSX)

[Warning - A lot of these are AWESOME, and will likely consume half your day just watching them]

Flurry (windows) : LINK





Really Sick Screensaver Pack : LINK

This pack has multiple screensavers, check here for a full list with previews - In the meantime here are some of the best ones included in the above link:


 



 



Briblo - LINK

[Yes, it really does build real time in LEGO!]


breveCreatures - LINK

Ok, now this is kind of exciting - A screensaver that simulates the evolution of virtual creatures in a physically simulated 3D world. Beginning initially with random creatures, the screensaver uses a genetic algorithm to develop creatures capable of realistic locomotion behaviors

So basically, your little dude evolves every time the screensaver comes up, the creature is saved when you bring down the screensaver, and comes back next time... Holy f&S^.

Here are some vids of the simulation in action:



Electric Sheep - LINK

This is pure amazing.



Really hope all of you found something you like out of this list! If you need a wildcard still, click here for dancing Japanese girls with a clock, and here to uhh... preview...

Till next time,

Mike.

Icon Archive

Hey Guys,

A site you may all want to check out is Icon Archive

They host a lot of icon sets for different operating systems, all of which are free, and often supported directly by the artists who put them together. Just a really smart place to find icons.

Lets face it, Windows has particularly poor icons for most devices - Plug in your phone ... Oh... Alright, it looks like another Hard Disk - So this is a great place to go to pick up something to freshen up your devices and desktop!

Here's a few great sets which you should go check out:


App Icons by Arrioch - LINK

Rabbit Xp Icons by Flameia Design - LINK

 

Japanicons Icons by ZaKaR - LINK

 

Orbz Icons by Arrioch - LINK



Some of the sets out there look really great, and trust me make it a little more tolerable browsing around your computer!

Happy browsing guys, hope you find something you like :)
