Wednesday wallpaper: Abstract chaos

The Wednesday wallpaper is back!

I recently installed a freeware application called Chaoscope, with which you can render strange attractors and other visualisations of chaotic systems. Here is one of my early attempts that I am making available as wallpapers of various dimensions. I will post more of my attempts here over the next few weeks.


1920 x 1200 1680 x 1050 1600 x 1200 1440 x 900
1280 x 1024 1280 x 960 1280 x 800 1152 x 864
1024 x 768 1024 x 600 800 x 600 800 x 480


I have also decided to set up a McLinky list for anyone else who wishes to share wallpapers on a Wednesday. So without further ado...

Music Monday: Sly and the Family Stone at Woodstock

To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the "3 Days of Peace & Music", here is "I want to take you higher" performed by Sly and the Family Stone. Sly was one of the performers that demanded payment before taking to the stage at the festival, which was initially a commercial venture and only later became free when it became clear that the organisers had vastly underestimated the appeal of the event. Other artists performing at the event included Joan Baez, Santana, Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Jimi Hendrix, who closed the show in storming fashion.


Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. One simple rule, leave ONLY the actual post link here. You can grab this code at LJL Please note these links are STRICTLY for Music Monday participants only. All others will be deleted without prejudice.




PS: Because of spamming purposes, the linky will be closed on Thursday of each week at midnight, Malaysian Time. Thank you!
