Just an FYI, the Windowblind, Rainlendar and SysMetrix that I uploaded last evening (which I named Stardust, after searching WinCustomize for any WB named Stardust and none was found) has now been renamed Cerulean Star, so as to avoid any conflicts with people's Windowblinds lists. I apologize for any confusion the first one caused.

I'm so glad you have found each other and can live happily ever after! Congratulations on the first year mark! [e digicons]:beer:[/e]
I hope I don't ruffle any feathers by saying this, but I think this sort of push for productivity at all costs, is a mind-set we have in the US, and I think it's costing us, as a nation, a price we aren't really seeing. Productivity is at an all time high. Because of the economy, people who have jobs are "just happy to have jobs" and they're working whatever amount of hours it takes to keep their jobs; and those who run their own business, like Brad, are pushing th
OK..thanks everybody for taking the time to respond. I guess I'll just sit tight for a few days, wait for the info to come out and for the time being, I think I'm leaning with the more original one.
[e digicons]:S[/e] Andy, that might be true, but part of me feels like that's sort of gaming the system. At this stage of my skinning journey, I don't feel like I need to go for quantity. I will probably start on new skin in a few weeks anyway, (I'm thinking it's time to start getting ready for Halloween), and what if THAT one is just oh-so-awesome, too. In the meantime, people who come here for fresh WB are kind of waiting around for new stuff, becaus
I would like to know what the criteria upon which the Windowblinds for the GUIC will be judged. This is my first year entering. I have 2 WBs I've created that I'm very proud of. I can't decide which one to enter. One is much more "me" -- original, different, out-of-the-ordinary, interesting, still very useable, but definitely not vanilla. The other one is extremely clean, dark and blue--I had more of a skinning-for-the-masses in mind when I created th
I love my Kindle Fire. I like to read before I fall asleep, and Hubby can't sleep with the light on; those little book lights suck up too many batteries, but my Kindle glows, so this was the perfect answer to my "need to relax to sleep with a good book" dilemma. There are so many free books for Kindle at Amazon, I loaded up quite a few right away. This is really awesome when I go somewhere that I have to "wait" (dentist, doctor, job interview, etc.) because i
Happy birthday, PoSmedley. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]
I hope you have a fantastic birthday, Andy. I'm confident that Kitty will make the day extra special for you. [e digicons]
I've been working on a WB for this and finished it yesterday, but last week got a new brilliant idea and started on that one...now I'm going to have to sit on the first one, to see if I have time to finish the second one (which is the one that I really want to enter because it's a WAY more original idea).
[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Congratulations to all those promoted; the community is lucky to have you!

[quote who="Jafo" reply="24" id="3188544"]Only 'problem' is that some of the world's most 'creative' minds have been depressed and/or suicidal, etc. 'Kill' the 'disease' and bang goes their creative artistry.[/quote] I think that is what Aldous Huxley was saying in "Brave New World." I remember reading that book and thinking "This is no dystopia! This is a wonderful society" but then I got to the part where art and poetry and music were

I read in some article a few months ago, they're trying this (DBS) for PTSD. The patient still remembers the traumatic event, but they remember it as if they were watching it in a movie to an actor (detached) rather than actually reliving the traumatic event over again themselves. This is fantastic news.

Thanks for this, Seth. I didn't like the tab page. Life is now good again for me. :)

You know what did it for me? (turned me off and made me tune out?) -- watching AMC's Mad Men, specifically, the clip I've posted below. It was the clarifying moment for me that advertizing wasn't about educating me about a new product that I might like--it was about conning me into releasing my cash. They can say anything--I'm done voluntarily being somebody's "mark." [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0L8f1IY1Vk[/video]

[e digicons]X([/e] And another loss -- he was one my top 5 authors, definitely wrote works that I will remember for as long as I live, stories that were so memorable I made sure my children learned them early, and are among my children's favorites, also. This just piles up and makes more pain--not as bad as losing Dad last month, but still the end of a long run of wonderful stories to read, still more to grieve.
That was really nice, John. Thank you. [e digicons]

Obviously the government will declare Marshall law (as outlined in March 16, 2012, executive order on national defense resource preparedness http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness ) I'm not a real expert on being able to interpret the legalese of government documents, but from the way I re

That's fantastic if you're cool with the fact that Virtual Customs is giving away you're icon set and telling people to install it with a patch. They do have really good taste in the things they *cough* offer. [e digicons]O:)[/e]
Happy birthday, Mike. I hope your day is WOMderful.
Jim, if I were you, I would upload it as is, and if you see a lot of people downloading it, since "absolutely no artistic skill" is necessary for the creation of this, you could do the docks and rainy if it looks like there is going be a demand. That way, 1) you wouldn't be wasting your time on something that there was little demand for; and 2) if you wait for a bit after the DX comes out, adding a side-skin renews interest in the original skin. Just my humble opinion
Can you post a screenshot of where you want this different color to show up so we can tell you specifically what to do to get your desired outcome?
