Today's APOD: The Milky Way Over the Badlands. Nice.
I've started using the One Pixel Webcam's output to provide my desktop wallpaper:
This project began with a desired to feel more connected with my environment and particularly with the daylight. By taking one sky-pixel from a webcam in my town and duplicating that colour periodically as my desktop I am continuously reminded of the outside world. My desktop colour changes with the sky.
As it happens, as I first fired the program up at just before 5pm all I've seen so far is a tiny sliver of blue sky followed by varying shades of darkness.
Oh well, tomorrow is another (sunnier?) day…
