Well, I'm here to tell you there are, but they are very few, and extremely hard to find. My icons displayed up there (you can click the image to get a shot of my whole desktop) were snagged from DotStudio, and they have a few other icon packs of similar coolness, they even have mouse cursors, and a few other things I think, for Windows. Their site, unfortunately, suffers from too much design, too little intutiveness. To get to the goods I speak of, go to data files, then, real small, hiding in the top right corner of the page is the icons, cursors, etc. menu. Have a ball.

The wallpaper is one for a desktop theme for Linux (can't remember who did it, but you can find it at Themes.org, which has an assload of cool stuff for linux desktops), and I had to find a full sized screenshot of it, then dice it into a bmp to make a Windows background for it. I'm not going to distribute it because it ain't mine, and all it did was chop it up and display it (with out even knowing who the author was! I'm going to hell!).

Speaking of the Linux desktop shit, and how easy it is to customize it, I've found a site that makes something or another (I'm not advocating it right now, cause I have yet to see it in action, so use at your own risk) that gives you the ability to customize your desktop in Windows. The site is called Stardock, and the application or whatever it is, is called WindowBlinds (how witty). (Update: WindowBlinds only allows you to change the graphics of standard windows graphics, still damned cool, but the same company's product, DesktopX, is the one that will let you actually customize your desktop, check out the themes link on that page for some eye-candy). If anyone uses this thing, or decides to try it after reading this, drop me a line in the comments for this article.

Anywho, onto other things. The Smoking Gun has a list of different pop stars' tours' Technical Riders. These are the little packets that the tour director gives to the place that a show will happen listing all the demands the 'artist' needs, be it what foods in the dressing room, furniture, etc. It seems that Brittany Spears needed Fruit Loops during her tour last year, but the on for the Backstreet Boys made no mention of the liberal amount of K-Y one would think they need. Hrm, maybe they're so stretched by now its not a neccesity anymore. Saw that one on StileProject.

K, I'm out, I'll see you fruits later.
