Where'd you get your wallpaper?

Next time, surprise your friends by saying, "I made my wallpaper." That's right, readers. You can make your own amazing wallpapers with the help of X3 Studios—completely free. You can create, share, download and rate wallpapers. Give it a try. There's no harm in that. The image above is one that I made quickly. Make something better. On a side note, when you click the link, scroll to the bottom and select the "create your own wallpaper" option to get started.

Titanium Chef

So, I don't know if you all have heard about Titanium Chef. It's an awesome flash game on the internet and it's all FREE. Check it out and give it a whirl. If you have kids, they should love this game. The idea is that you are a robot that is aspiring to be a chef. The intro is hilarious and the interface is easy to use. The purpose seems to be teaching kids proper portion sizes and healthy food choices. I'm just getting into it, so I can't give you a complete rundown, but we can discover it together. Play it now.

Andrej Belic takes you for a dive under the sea

I have the pleasure of sharing Andrej Belic's photography with the you. Although I cannot put all of it on my site, I can direct you to his site for more. It is a stunning look at what is under the sea. These are all taken while he scuba dives. Impressive, right? For more information, contact Andrej yourself.

Book and Film Recommendation | Watership Down

After getting all of my junk from storage (I hate to admit it, but I have a lot of junk), I realized that I do not own the Watership Down movie although I have managed to find the book. Watership Down was written by British author, Richard Adams and it started off as a story he told his daughters on long car rides. I don't know how he thought of this idea, but it's quite interesting. You'll never look at rabbits the same again, trust me. I suggest that you add this to your Netflix, Blockbuster, library list or whatever rental service you use. And also, I would not recommend this for really young kids.

Antilimit photography

Since joining StumbleUpon, I've discovered so many great sites. For example, check out Eric Gustafson's work. Not only are his photos rich and well-composed (like the one above), but the design of the site is also very clean and easy to navigate!

Stumbling

Well, readers, I have joined StumbleUpon. I was debating whether to do so for a while. Naturally, you can find me as Newfoundjoye. Find out where I have stumbled lately.

Sad discovery


When I was in college, I would often check Blue Sky Studios Challenge blog for inspiration. The work was usually top-notch (nice office buzzword for you) and entertaining. Today, when I remembered about the site, I went to visit and discovered that they haven't updated since last Fall. Perhaps because of the release of Blue Sky Studios' recent 3-D film, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, they stopped doing it or because of a general slowdown. Either way, it was a depressing discovery on my part. The employees used to create illustrations based upon random themes. Lots of them were very creative. Check out the past images on the blog—since it's still there. Considering that the idea is really amazing, I'm thinking of starting another blog for themed illustrations. If you have some beginning ideas, comment. I'll do one illustration per week. Expect more coming soon.
