.. is something that I am really useless at. I remember reading a ‘choose your own adventure’ book when I was younger and one of the laws of the fantastical Ninja was “My universe is my eyes and my ears”  I know what it was getting at but I seem [...]

I was very impressed looking at this speech this week, for 56 years few of us can hope to affect the world in such a way. RIP

I’ve just been inspired by a recent Lifehacker post, using Rainmeter and a few mods such as RocketDock.  I’ve had a go myself and created my Dark Angel desktop which uses mainly the Enigma Skins and a backdrop found on google from here. Here it is – I hope you like [...]
