  • Wallpaper Wednesday!

    Posted on January 7th, 2009 Derrick Sobodash No comments

    For months I’ve been promising myself I would post more regularly. Usually the posts come in a burst, and then the site falls back into silence. That’s why I decided to add a new weekly feature: Wallpaper Wednesday.

    Every Wednesday, I will post two vector wallpapers rasterized into select widescreen sizes. It’s a chance for me to learn more about vector art and do something new with my best photos.

    Each wallpaper package will be released in a ZIP on my deviantArt page—assuming it stays unblocked in China.

    If you enjoy these wallpapers, consider supporting some of the sponsors (read: ads) on this site: they don’t pay much and a lot of them suck—especially the mail-order brides which Google seems to think you all want. But hey, I’m giving you with good shit for free.

    Since this is the first week, I am releasing five wallpaper sets to get the collection started. byuu tells me I am already beating InterfaceLIFT by 4 to 6 times the updates.

    Each wallpaper is available in PNG format at 800×480, 1024×600, 1280×800, 1440×900, 1680×1050, 1920×1200 and 2560×1600. This should cover everyone from EeePC users to those poor souls trapped in the World of Warcraft.

    Post script

    This post was the first time I have ever directly addressed ads on this site. Don’t freak out and think shit like this will become the norm.

    If you can’t see the ads because you are using AdBlock … good on you! I do not care. Flash for Linux sucks and I often find Web sites which utilize it extensively (Youku.com) enjoy bribing Epiphany to tip my system over and ass fuck it with all the love of an inmate.

    However, I find the RAM raping preferable to donations. Free pennies for shit I would do anyway are nice, and unlike donations they keep you and I void of any obligation to each other.

    For the curious, in the last year my ads have brought in enough money to pay the small server bill and domain registration; of course, till the sum hits $100 that money stays in the National Bank of Google. With any luck, 2009’s revenue will finally force Google to pay out.
