Windows XP shell replacement

It looks like that I have now found my shell replacement for XP: Directory Opus 8, developed by an Australian company GPSoftware. Their Web site can use some help considering that their shell product is so usable (though it can use some interface tweaks so as not to overwhelm the users with features - but in the same time not hide features for users)

Brian Loube's abstract expressionistic 3d photography + digital art opening

Brian Loube had a exhibit in DUMBO of his 3D lengicular photography. It was a joy to see the work. Very inspiring and wish I had the time to contribute. I'm immediately seeing letter-forms through a sequence, tiled to form the alphabets. Given 72 frames, a lot of possibilities are possible. Gotta go back and look at the 'Dots' again. They are fantastic and show full potential to be developed into a series.
