Big Fat Stinking Software's screen savers
I love screen savers. I used to love the show "The Screen Savers," before G4 killed it off. Now I'm content to settle with nifty little savers across my machines... Well Big Fat Stinking Software has you covered when it comes to offbeat savers created using Quartz Composer. Feeling funky? Try the Evil Monkey clock (from TV's "Family Guy"). There's a hilarious Mr. Sparkle saver, plus a very handy RSS saver that crawls the feed up your screen ala "Star Wars." And then there's my favorite: Steve's Clock. Who wouldn't want Jobs standing there in his trademark outfit pointing out the time to you all day? The only way to make that one better is if, on each hour, he shouted inspirational sayings at you like, "A great carpenter isn't going to use lousy wood for the back of a cabinet, even though nobody's going to see it."
