Barkings! | The Small Dog Apple Blog

After doing some busy work in the store this past week I had noticed a coworker’s computer had a pretty cool screensaver. After commenting on it, he then showed me the plethora of other interesting screensavers on his computer.

I wanted to find some for my computer, so I proceeded to search Macupdate.com and versiontracker.com. I found one called Filigree, which is one that I have on my computer at the moment. It’s simliar to the Flurry that comes preinstalled on all machines, except that the lines are much thinner and they seem to branch off into three-dimensional space. (And it’s a much slower organic movement; so fun to watch, it makes me want to purchase one of our Toshiba HD TVs just so I can watch it…)

One cool feature about most of the screensavers that are on macupdate.com is that one can see a screenshot of the saver (of course it’s not the same as watching it but it’s still helpful). Another cool screensaver called Liquidmac hijacks the motion sensor that is built into the laptop/notebook computers, and it will look like a bunch of water droplets on screen. When you pick up the computer and tilt it, all the droplets will collect in that side of the screen.

Just thought I would share my visual experiences—happy November!
