Minus the Bear - Hey, Is That a Ninja Up There?
Minus the Bear is yet another band I found on Pandora Radio. They are classified as an experimental / math rock band. I don’t really care what you call them but they play some pretty cool music. They have a unique sound that is consistent on most of their albums. My favorite album of theirs is one of their older EPs called They Make Beer Commercials Like This. Odd name, huh? Well one of the staples of the band is their strange (and often long) names for their albums and songs. For instance, check out the wacky nomenclature going on in this SOTW…

John's Background Switcher Provides Serious Wallpaper Control - Wallpaper - Lifehacker →

“Windows: If you like to mix up your Windows wallpaper, the latest version of John’s Background Switcher lets you do it from almost any web source, and in any specific way you want to match your monitors.”
Going to check this out. One of things I really like about Win7 is the wallpaper slideshow. Until Win7 ships, maybe this can replace that functionality in Vista. So far, it works pretty damn good. There’s a ton of options and tweaks. However, the fade-to-next-wallpaper is a pretty rough transition.
