Astral Bodies
Posted by Danielle in Computer & Internet on June 30, 2010
I haven’t posted any computer-y delights in a while, so feast your eyes on these up-to-128px desktop icons! The set is called “Astral Bodies” and I can’t find a link for it (the creator, Sean Liew, doesn’t seem to do this sort of thing anymore), so here, have yourself a ZIP file (1.17 Mb.) They are for Mac (I’m using 10.4); no idea if they will work for Windows. Edit: Here is a Windows .ICO version, courtesy of John @ Terrazoom. Thanks!
Star Trek

The Iconfactory has long been one of my favorite haunts, and yet again they’ve delivered, with official desktop wallpapers and icons from the new Star Trek movie. I mean… really, who wouldn’t want these on their desktop??
To the moon, ISS!
Posted by Danielle in Computer & Internet, Tidbits & Sundry on July 18, 2008

An amusing interesting little post on Slashdot earlier this week:
“Michael Benson is proposing that NASA send the ISS to the moon instead of leaving it low earth orbit. (While we’re at it, we should re-brand it as the ‘International Space Ship.’) He points out that it’s already designed to be moved periodically to higher orbits so instead of just boosting it a few miles, strap on some ion engines and put it in orbit around the moon instead of the earth. That would provide an initial base for the astronauts going to the moon and give the ISS a purpose other than performing yet more studies on the effect of micro gravity on humans. Benson concludes: ‘Let’s begin the process of turning the ISS from an Earth-orbiting caterpillar into an interplanetary butterfly.’”
My favorite part? Among the tags listed on the article: “goodluckwiththat”.
