Thats it. Thats the last social service that involves me adding all my friends in all over again. Life is too chuffing short.
Please, can someone come up with some way of avoiding this repetition of 'buddies'?!
I still gave in of course....
My take on AMANA, originally by Imrik, Naalo, j3 and the 4Imp crew. I worked really hard on the litestep. It has much more web integration now (see details section after the other preview images).

Litestep Details
The login/loading screen are all done in litestep. Basically, windows boots to my account and displays the login screen (no password matching yet, but it's coming - it's a moot point, as I have a boot password set anyway...). The login text area resizes down and the loading circles resizes out. It's a pretty slick animation :). The loader animation is a throwback to the old days of cmd prompt where you would just use the / - \ | characters to make a spinning wheel.
The taskbar has an integrated information bar that shows battery, network and twitter info. Clicking on the twitter bird calls a php function (via LSActiveDesktop) that fetches and updates the latest tweet from my feed. Clicking on the box icon brings up the console.
The console is by far my favorite part of the theme. I took stole a lot of design cues from the terminal in the new tron movie. Clicking on the icons on the left side change the text in the left panel. The home screen displays weather, news, and social info (pulled from various RSS feeds). Clicking on the graph icon brings up system info (CPU clocks, RAM, etc). Currently, those are the only two implemented, but once LSActiveDesktop is more robust, the chat, reader, favorites, and video app should all be possible.
The right side of the console features a little text area where you can input !Bang commands. It's not LSXCommand, but a Text Box that parses bang commands and runs them. I wanted to use LSXCommand, but I couldn't (I can't remember why, just that it didn't work like I wanted...). You can actually control the console from within this command box (so you can feel extra l33t), but it's not useful for much else. Really more eye candy than anything.
Clicking on the <<- arrow in the top-left brings back the desktop. That's about it.
If you stuck through all of that text, I applaud you :). Merry Christmas :D
ezimba is a web site that can apply different imaging effects.
I used one picture for all the effects just for consistency for comparison. The title for each photo consists of the category of the effect and the name of the effect. Some effects would be better used on a different image. There are some effects also that appear to do the same thing in different effect categories.
Ezimba also has a Facebook app, Google Android app, and a free iPhone app. Please note that the free iPhone app puts a small logo on the edited image. You can buy the paid ezimba app and not have the logo.
I am getting there guys. Working on 5 projects at the same time doesn't make this process very fast though ;)
Senior enameled cast iron. Left: round 3 quart. Right: oval 5 quart. The handles are also cast iron. I wonder if these would be good for bread, the 3 quart seems almost too small (and I myself am completely enamored of having oval bread). The 5 quart seems a little too big.
The interior of these is matte black enamel and the exterior color is more of a tomato red than the orange they appear in this photo. Also, the under side of the lid has little spikes, drip points for slow cooking I presume.

from my journal from 03.04.09:
I'm leaving for the Island after work today. Thumbing a ride to the ferries with Lung, to be snagged by Esme on the other side, I'm delivering one of these to one of these and don't expect to be back until Monday morning, when apparently I'm being put on a sea-place back. (Because life sometimes is just like that.)
In other news of the faintly ridiculous, Dragos is holding my bikini hostage, on the terms that I only get it back if I accept a year of cell-phone for my birthday, something we've been arguing about for almost a year. As soon as I began my usual protesting, however, he waved a gleeful finger in my face and said, "Ah-ha! This time you cannot possibly refuse. I know which one I'm going to give you. This isn't just any phone. It's got a story." and proceeded to play to my greatest weakness, that of narrative. The one he's picked out, it has history. Not only history, but hilarious history - a fascinating little back-story involving an Argentina black market, expensive consumer electronics that fell off the back of a truck, untraceable drug dealer SIM cards, and what happened next, when a British friend flashed around just one too many fresh hundred dollar bills - and, as usual, he was right. I can't say no. How could I? How could anyone?
Also, though only tangentially related, there was a story about basement scam strippers, but that was someone else.

Winner of the HP webOS developer event at The Guardian.
This prototype is an experimental approach for exploring content (e.g. news, reviews and photos) about any place on earth.
Starting at the reader's current location, a magazine-style page of content is pulled in for that place (e.g. a one mile square centred on Kings Cross, London). The reader can then slide the page in any of eight compass directions (north, east, south, west, nw, ne, sw, se), to re-centre the magazine at that new location (e.g. a one mile square centred on Hillingdon).
We've divided the world into a grid of cells, and the user can slide between any of the cells to view the content that it contains. Articles of content are linked through to their original source: e.g. a travel article from The Guardian, or a note on the history of a place from Wikipedia.
We built a native app for the HP TouchPad tablet. Happily, because this uses standard web technologies (HTML, JavaScript and CSS), it also works in a simple web browser.
The format is ideally suited to a tablet like the TouchPad: location-aware, tactile navigation, content for reading and exploring while on the move. The magazine might be used to explore content around a particular part of the world, or to follow the user on a journey.
Working in the same, familiar way as the "slippy map" of Google Maps, we provide an intuitive mechanism for browsing, though one that we have never seen in this form before.
The content could be taken from any data source that contains geo information. In our prototype, we use the Guardian Open Platform's travel pages and the Geonames Wikipedia web service.
We would like to explore user-curated content types, zooming in and out to widen or narrow a search, adding an actual geographical map as an accompanying layer, and a number of innovations on the user interface.
