This is my dual desktop desktop (heh) that I have on my computer at work. I was inspired by inaudiblewhisper's "Sleek Wood Desktop" and decided to create my own.
All of the picture frames are dynamic, and each randomly cycles through a dedicated folder containing appropriately-sized pictures. The big frame on the right is solely for movie posters ('cause I'm a giant nerd). The other interactive features are a useable whiteboard, clock, calendar and trash can. I'm still looking for a good widget that will allow me to use any picture to my desktop as a shortcut to launch a file, link or program. If anyone knows of such a widget, please let me know!
Wood floor texture: Oliuss
Yahoo Widgets:
• JC Sticky Deluxe (with background color and shadow turned off)
• Picture Frame (four separate instances)
Whiteboard font: Blambot's Anime Ace 2.0
Dock: Rocket Dock, Vista theme
The two Firefly (well, technically Serenity) maquettes are actually my designs, and were created by Quantum Mechanix. You can see them here and here.
The other bits and pieces I found in various places online. The biggest challenge was finding things that roughly matched the perspective of the floor. The appearance of the white matte above the photos is created by adding an inner shadow to the photos in Photoshop.
You can see the desktop as it looks without all the dynamic elements here.
Hope you like it!

MY WEEKEND ESCAPES AT TINUY-AN FALLS
Bislig, Surigao del Sur, Island Mindanao, Philippines
February 21, 2010
Once in a while, the busy and dynamic life in the city can be overwhelming – that’s why I really look forward to weekends. Having the time to rest, unwind and probably do something different makes these two days of the week simply precious and on some occasions, quite unforgettable. I hope with this post, I’d be able to make up for it.
“As travel photographers, we do not always have the luxury of time to wait for the best available light. We have to be conscious, alert and prepared! A practical approach to travel photography is to take pictures at any given time even – we don’t know when we’ll go back to that place and time.”
A QUICK GLANCE
- A stunning beauty, why? Because of it’s strikingly impressive appearance. That is what I can say of Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig (BISLIG, now a component city of Surigao del Sur, is at the Southeastern coast of Mindanao facing the Pacific Ocean, 158 kilometers south of Butuan, 152 kilometers south of Tandag (Surigao del Sur Provincial Capital) and 208 kilometers northeast Davao City), located in the interior of the vast PICOP (Paper Industries Corporation) concession in the Province of Surigao del Sur. Dubbed as the “Little Niagara of the Philippines,” with an spectacular three-tired falls - because it is considered to be the widest waterfall in the country at 95 meters in width. Don’t be fooled of thinking a U-shaped lip with thunderous and voluminous waters surging in the thousands of cubic meters per second, it’s a three tiered wonder that from a distance, it just takes your breath away. A fourth level is said to be within the same system but is farther into the rugged forests. Hundreds of old amazing giant trees, ferns and vines in a thick rainforest surround your ride through thick forested hills that enclose the falls. If you feel like some exercise, there are hiking trails that go all the up. Going up to 1st to 3rd level you count of walking 85 stepladders plus 5 straight plane pathway made of pure round steel bars. At the top of falls is magnificent view that looks out over the surrounding view deck. There is a choice of camping area, children playground, cottages or guest-houses in the area, so a visit to Tinuy-an falls makes a nice weekend break away for me from the hustle and bustle of life in the city.
I was away on a 1 day arduous trip that brought me and friends from “The Explorer’s Dabawenyos” of Davao City to the remote city of Bislig in Surigao del Sur. It involved taking the two buses and one van with 121 participants coming from Tagum City (2) and from Davao City (119). From the point of destination, it took with an almost 5-hour trip, deep into the forest heartland of PICOP or Paper Industries Corporation’s vast logging concession – at one time reputedly known as one of Asia’s biggest timber and paper mills.
It was a long trip but worth the taking. If only for the fact that I was able to personally see and shoot one of the best, if not the best, but lesser known waterfalls of the country.The road is not that fully cemented, the scenery and the cool breeze of air was our reward while we are on traveling. It is but normal for one to be struck speechless and amazed when one sees for the first time the Tinuy-an Falls – definitely THE Grandest and most Majestic waterfalls I’ve ever seen.
Even now as I look at these photos, I can still imagine and hear the thundering sound it makes and feel the mist hitting my face. Flat stones conveniently make a good platform for those photo poses. The best time to visit and photograph this is during the early morning as the sun isn’t behind, thus giving a better image of the waterfalls. This place really has a big potential for ecotourism.
There were 3 sets of people joining the trip last Sunday
- as mentioned by travel photograpeher Leo Timogan also the participants of the Trip.....
Those that wanted to escape the routinely cycle of the busy city life, discover new places and have fun with friends and new found friends, take as much photos (to be posted on facebook, friendsters, multiply and other networking sites) as possible;
Others were those into photography, who just wanted to snapshot great photos of stunning sceneries. Those that tagged along tripods and sneaked on the side lines (usually alone) when people were cleared on the landscape and took photos. I thought I was the only one doing this; there were quite a few;
The last set were, those people who just wanted to waste time and burn money… ok I just made this up, it is really non-existence… or isn’t it?

Lastly, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig for I really admired the beautiful nature sites I saw…..something you rarely get to see. It was truly “a unique experience” and it was a great place for me to spend my weekend as I have experienced a truly memorable and unique get-away trip to it.
Wow!!!

Maybe, in the future you will too!

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
