Looking for Awesome Free Backgrounds for Your Computer or Phone?

10 Great Geek Wallpapers from InterfaceliftLook no further than Interfacelift.com. I stumbled upon this site awhile back when I was looking for a new background after doing a restore. I was very impressed with the quality of their backgrounds, and the fact that they are all free.

I remember back in the day when Digital Blasphemy used to offer some beautiful free backgrounds, but as time went on it seemed that more and more of what was available through their site was paid content.

Interfacelift now carries the torch for sites that offer free desktop wallpapers. They have a huge selection of backgrounds that all vary in artistic style. It looks like all of their backgrounds are made by artists who contribute their work to the site, and I have yet to find anything that requires you to pay for it.

My favorite thing about their site is that they offer all the backgrounds in about 10-20 different resolutions to support multiple platforms like widescreen monitors, dual & triple displays, standard 4:3 aspects and even iphone, PSP, and mobile devices.

If you haven’t checked them out already I would highly recommend visiting their website. Below are some links to 10 Great Geek Wallpapers to get you started. These are just a few of the thousands of free backgrounds that they offer on their site.

What is Steampunk - Information, Origins, Art, and Culture

Steampunk - When History Repeats Itself You Get Art!

What is SteampunkWhile surfing the net a few weeks ago I came across an interesting subject called “Steampunk”. Now because the internet is so large it is not uncommon to run across various subcultures, but I found Steampunk to be one of the most interesting ones I have seen in awhile.

Steampunk originally started out as a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction written about in books and comics during the 1980s-1990s. They were works of fiction that painted pictures of future worlds that relied on old fashioned “steam” technology. A good example that comes to mind is the Myst series of videos games.

Steampunk Books, Anime, Comic and MoviesLots of written works, movies and games have based concepts and visuals off of the Steampunk mythos. As Steampunk’s popularity grew it started to transverse the gap between fiction and reality. While this has mainly been in the form of art and style, in some cases it has been applied as an actual engineering style by certain groups.

Steampunk Telectroscope Art Installation Newyork & LondonA recent example of Steampunk artwork that mixes the “old” and the “new” is the Telectroscope, designed and built by artist “Paul St George”. It consists of two giant telescopes of lens and mirrors that allow people in London and New York to interact with each other in real time via a fiber optic connection.

However some of the most interesting implementations of the Steampunk style have been homebrew inventions, and reverse engineering people have created with the aesthetic in mind. Some great examples of this can be seen in YouTube videos where people have created some really interesting devices throwing conventional technology to the wind.

Steampunk Artwork, Inventions, EngineeringIt is interesting to hear people say how history repeats itself. This is very true in many aspects that we see from day to day. Steampunk is very interesting in that it utilizes antique methods of engineering to mirror modern technology with a neo-Victorian twist.

Check out the wikipedia entry on Steampunk for some incredibly interesting background information and resources.

Amazing Tee Shirts that Don’t Break the Bank!

Best Prices for High Quality T-Shirts at UneeteeHey all. I just wanted to post a great find I came across this weekend. I have been getting ready to go to a wedding next weekend so I needed to go out and buy a dress shirt because I didn’t have one I could wear to the wedding.

Looking through my closet also made me realize that I was in desperate need of some new Tee Shirts I could wear to work and around the house. I checked out all of my usual websites like thinkgeek, and others but nothing came close to the prices I found on uneetee.com.

Not only were their prices great I came across an amazing daily special they have on certain shirts. The one they are featuring today is incredible.
