iCons Aplenty

June 10th, 2006

What a long, findless day its been. I like to think that everyday I find something new and exciting to post about, but today seems to be an exception. However, rather than leave you empty handed, I have a number of topics that I have been saving for days like this.

Icons

As I look back on my computer ownership over the years, one of the things I have come to enjoy is the customization of the look and feel of my computers. Anything from visual styles (windows XP), to desktop backgrounds and icons. However, most of this desire to customize has been left in the dust with my complete and utter conversion to Apple Computers. While most would argue that the visual flexibilty of OSX is equal if not superior to that of Microsoft Windows, I find myself competely comfortable and content with OSX just as it is: Aqua.jpg for the background and Aqua for the visual styles.

However, the one exception are the icons in OSX. Though most of them are brilliant and beautiful, I do long to change some, and when I do, I wish to replace them with Aqua quality icons that fit just right. Though many icon sites exist, the largest (and best) collection of icons that I have found has been at InterfaceLift. This site includes icons, desktop backgrounds, and visual styles for both Windows and OSX, and the interface (no pun intended) is quite easy to use. If your interested in making your machine your own, WindowsXP or OSX, I’d highly recommend you check it out 🙂

my writing

my website is a collection of my work and writing since 2004, so please don't be surprised if things seem a little outdated, particularly in the technology section. That said, the concepts behind most posts should be interesting given all that's happened since they were written so enjoy!
