• Added a new wallpaper, “River Valley“, to the gallery this afternoon.

  Jessie and I took Ian to the Field Museum in Chicago earlier this week to see the dinosaur bones and “River Valley” was inspired by a mural I saw in one of the nature exhibits. I wasn’t attempting to recreate the mural per se, rather I was inspired by the composition (close elements on the right expanding to a wide vista). I hope you like it.

• I’ve added a new animated wallpaper to the collection this morning. The animation is based on my “Campfires” wallpaper and depicts a spinning globe with city lights on the night side.

• I’ve added dual and triple-screen versions of “Of All Places”. I spent a little extra time on this one trying to make sure the cave walls on the right and left of the screen weren’t completely black.

• I’ve posted one more revision of “Of All Places“. I’ve changed the ripples back to how they were in the original (but sharpened the reflections) and removed the wayward tree root.

• I’ve registered my RSS feed with Feedburner (which is now a part of Google). Part of their service is they will provide an email notice when I update my RSS feed. Now those of you who miss my email update list can register an email with them and get an email delivered to you whenever I update my RSS feed (which is basically whenever I post a news item here).

  I really like the simplicity of running an RSS feed, and I never liked the pitfalls of running large email lists (hundred of bounced emails, unintentional spam blacklisting, etc) so I think this is a good compromise. Post below if you have any questions or comments.

• I’ve posted an updated version of “Of All Places” on the new images page. This one will replace the previous version posted on the 1st. After reading some of the suggestions, I’ve changed the water, added some roots at the bottom of the tree, made the leaves a little greener, and a did couple of other minor tweaks.

  I’ve cleared out the ratings (and comments) for the previous version if you care to rate the image again.

  I hope to have a multi-monitor version up in a day or so and then move on to something new.
