I visited this famous architectural site a few weeks ago, and this particular photo of mine caught my fancy, so I switched out my old desktop and put this one in. I've got a folder for grad school application materials, but have half of that out on the desktop so I'll keep tweaking them until they flow just right. And the other document is a reminder for me not to forget my housemate's trapeze show this Saturday.

Zaia, my response to that picture of yours was to tilt my head sideways to view it. I'm not quite sure why.
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

So this is my current one. That Maxim photoshoot has a great deal of longevity, to say the least.

Damn straight. Now that I have the second season of Battlestar Galactica on DVD, my levels of appreciation for her have been renewed.

Meh, I know it's filled with holes and it's a shoddy bug-ridden piece of crap, but I'm too lazy and apathetic to change it.

Avant? Should I change the icon? Pardon me for asking, but what are you referring to?

EDIT: This particular one belongs to a friend of mine.

Avant a shell for IE6, that enables tabbed browsing, control over specific features such as Flash, RSS readers, etc.[/url]

If you need IE6, this is quite a nice tool.

Hmm, seems versatile enough. I'll look into it later.

I like your friend's desktop - it's busy, but a busy desktop is more of a long term investment than a nice clean desktop.

Myself, I've used a few scans from Captain Atom: Armageddon of Nathaniel beating the crap out of the Authority. :)

Heh. Thanks. He'll appreciate that. He's a rabid comic book afficiando.

Space Marine

I moved all of my junk on my desktop to my second screen to be able to see this better.

EDIT: The desktop looks a lot clearer than the picture above.

Thank you. Those are of a high quality. I am impressed. The artwork is certainly better than a great deal of the bilge that's out there.
