    You guys have much cooler desktops & widgets than I have.



    So...whats behind the black post-it note?



    Your plans to take over the world?



    Dirty thoughts about your lover?



    Or just a boring to-do list.

    I know this is going to sound noob, but it has some passwords on it. It has. I could have been all cool and blurred them out in photoshop, but this was faster. Plus, as we have acknowledged, I'm over-the-hill at 25, and definitely not cool.



    Anyway, this thread has urged me to see if there are cool widgets out there. I did managE to find one which may buy me some cool points. It's a PS style color picker, but it doesn't require starting up PS (it's called colourmod). I also took the time to throw in my HD icon (aptly named "Macintosh HD"), and I must admit that I'd gamble it's well cooler than any of yours.







    Seriously, though. . . Writing down dirty thoughts about my lover? I'm a man. The plans to take over the world are longer and cannot fit onto a post-it note. They are written safely in a notebook, which is scanned periodically.

    There is nothing cooler then at a glance information of

    1) My Entire System

    2) My Real Age (as opposed to just saying 15, I can say 15.055)

    3) A Maccified License Plate

    4) A Link to the latest RoughlyDrafted and Think Secret Articles

    5) Events at the Apple Store

    6) Stock Info on Apple and Friends and the Enemy

    7) A Classic Finder Icon

    8) The Weather

    9) 2 Dictionaries

    10) A Pong Clock (face it, this one kicks every over Widget out of the water, especially since I can play a game of Pong anytime I want)

    11) a handy Wikipedia Search box (since neither Camino or Safari provide me with my favorite Firefox feature)

    Not bad, but you still don't have a color picker and a Hobbes icon. I don't need widgets to tell me how old I am, or license plates of states that conduct vehicle inspection (for the record, I'm keeping my car registered in FL as long as I possibly can). Call me when you reach that level.









    Give me a few weeks and that's probably going to be a local call. I'm talking to some folks in the 'ol Mountain View. Are there even any mountains to view there?

    Yeah, because you just list a generic age, instead of your exact age (mine's currently 15.058) and these aren't ordinary license plates. Their Maccififed (Florida's being FRQ-OUT) but I won't be getting a license I don't care about cars and the local transportation system can get me just about anywhere I need to (MUNI, BART, and Caltrain)



    As for Mountain View... err, to tell the truth I don't know a thing about Geography or the local geography and I don't travel outside of the city very often. According to my friend (licensed to drive) that would be a Yes though.

    In all seriousness, you should be getting a license, because it's a form of ID that's worth having.



    But beyond that, let's say it's ten years from now and you have a solid job. Why not get a car? You could get a cool little roadster to drive around the mountains on sunny weekends. Unless you're a car "enthusiast" of sorts, vehicle inspection isn't a big deal, but if you have, say, a turbo thrown in there, it's not your friend. That is why I'm going to try to keep it registered in Florida. Ultimately, I guess I'll have to sell it in Nevada or find a shop that takes bribes.

    He speaks the truth. Plus, it's best you learn how to drive now so that you don't have problems if you have to drive later. Plus, people who learn to drive younger are better drivers. Plus, how you guna pick up chicks?
