In one of the Lifehacker screenshots Rooze had taken a cap of her calendar and used it for her desktop. A number of users wondered how they could do that, but get it to update continuously. I wanted to upload an example with Active Desktop. UPDATE: make sure you've signed in and cookied your session in Internet Explorer before you do this.

After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".
So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.
On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.
On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.
There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.
The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

Disassembled printer cable, partially threaded silver clip. As you can see, I just clipped off the plug ends with a set of utility scissors, and used a pliers to pull out the interior cables.
2x4's adhered to the wall with PL400 and nailed to the ikea storage units. Also a 2x4 added to provide extra support under the main section.

Use the cardboard from the IKEA box to make compartments
IKEA Micke Desk $80.00
www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50180046
USB Extension Cord/4-Port Hub $10.00
Power Extension Cord
$5.00
Zip Ties & Tape
$5.00
Keep-A-Cable $9.00
www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Keep---Cable-polyethylene...
Start by getting the Micke desk at IKEA and setting it up. Check the other stuff off and lets get started. Finish the table but don't put the drawers in yet; you'll be getting dirty to set up the wiring down there.
Get all the USB/Power Wires/Etc. you will need to connect. Take the USB extension cord/hub and use 1 USB port on the PC/Laptop. Send the other end down under the table where all the rest will connect. You can also just do this with a PC on the floor and send the USB cord up from the back of the machine. Connect the required USB cables to the USB hub which should now be placed under the table in the "wire-compartment." Use the zip-ties for any extra wiring.
Route the USB wires up from one of the sides. Tape em' down in there and behind the desk so it doesn't get messy! Use a Keep-A-Cable to hold the wires up behind the desk so you don't need to reach for them every time. Finally just connect the power wire for the machine and monitor to the extension cord which you plugged into the wall outlet. Place it underneath the table in the wire compartment.
Bonus tip: Use some of the cardboard from the box to make compartments inside the drawers for different daily use of school materials, etc.!
This is my desk setup at home. This is only the one part. On this part of the desk is my 13" Uni-Body MacBook Pro which is hands down the greatest computer i have ever owned. I upgraded the Ram to 4 GB and the HDD to 500GB. There is also my Verizon Wireless Blackberry Tour for my business and work and then my Samsung Rogue for personal use. There is the Verizon Fios Router and my External Sata HDD Dock with a 500GB WD in slot 2 and a 120GB Seagate HDD in Slot 1. I also have my 80GB iPod Classic (1st Gen classic) and my police scanner, im a fireman so i like to know whats going on.
I found this picture (shown in a window on the desktop) and thought it would be great as a desktop. I created three desktops using the picture and had them cycle randomly every 5 minutes. Font is "Pokemon Hollow" from dafont.
Please feel free to leave any ideas, questions, comments etc below.
Note: I know this desktop is almost a month old but a couldn't be bothered uploading it earlier.
If you want to know what something is, just ask.
UPDATE: I added some notes. All transparency is controlled with Power Menu.

I should note that I did this for a client that was exceedingly paranoid. (in response to: lifehacker.com/5153684/properly-erase-your-physical-media )

I roll with my dock to the right hand side, but keep it hidden most of the time.
An Add to Lifehacker.com Show and Tell. This Mac capture was created utilizing Geektools app for the Mac. Updated data is embedded into the desktop with font, sizing and placement. The head has an alpha channel allowing the data to appear layered into the background. The photo was taken at Met Museum of Art, New York.
I really couldn't think of a name. Wow.

Thank Goodness thats all. Everything else was different.
The RocketDock Icons are Basic5 By Otis Bee, some of them made using the PSD.
Other Rainmeter (Time/Date and Notes) are from the Elemental Skin.
Still Hiding the Taskbar, Using StartKiller, etc, etc.
Wonder if Gaia will start making any FireFox Skins...THAT...would be awesome.
This is the same desk I posted a few months back (featured on lifehacker.com and apartmenttherapy.com)
The front part of the desk is no longer foldable, I made it permanent once I got used to all the extra workspace. And I built-in a much needed dock for my phone, which cleans things up nicely.
Other than that, I just wanted to try to put together an HDR image (first try). Its a good start, but I think I'm better off shooting outdoors.
Created with Rainmeter configs mostly, none of my own , just played around with whats out there
elemental for middle bar, notes and shortcuts
enigma for black taskbar and everything in the taskbar
apart from horiz calender from hud vision
rain quantum black clock
bottom is rocketdock simplelight skin with basic5 textuall icons
top bar is gaia 09 thinbar with amana icons
credit goes to the authors who im sorry i dont have all the names for listed here
but all those things can be found on deviant art including the wallpaper who i dont remember but similar ones can be found on desktopography whc ih i usually have set to change every half hour with wallpapa exe
Missed welds and foam holes to be filled next. I used bondo on the hole because welding it shut lights the foam on fire. And not being outside like a car the bondo shouldn't pop out as long as you give it the proper dry time.
Everything seen here was lifted from the Featured Desktops on Lifehacker.

The sun looking icon in the top-middle is Jing Project. It's used to capture screenshots and videos of specific areas of the screen and upload to various file sharing sites such as Flickr. Not used for this screenshot as it removes itself from the picture automatically.
Side Note: VistaGlazz Beta used to patch windows files. Works on 64bit Vista SP1.
