Need a Beautiful Wallpaper? Vladstudio.

Vladstudio holds a collection of wallpapers and other things done by the Russian digital artist Vlad Gerismov. If you have a few minutes to go browse through his wallpapers you should, he has some of the best I have ever seen. About 2 years ago I signed up with his lifetime plan, and I still do not regret doing so. He has over 600 wallpapers as of this writing, which means almost anyone should be able to find something they like. In addition he has over 250 'Wallpaper Clocks' which is a wallpaper with an embedded clock, and they are quite cool. Beyond the wallpapers you can also do a online puzzle of many of his wallpapers, send e-cards that he has made, get his theme for your Wordpress blog, or shop for shirts featuring his art, and much more. Anyway, go check it out!

Some of my favorite wallpapers from his collection:

How-To: Write to Windows Drive/Partition in OS X

If you have installed a copy of windows on your mac there has probably been a time, or many times, that you wished to transfer files to your windows partition from directly inside OS X. Well today I came across a very simple way to do just that. The best part is that it is completely free, and only takes about 5 minutes(or less) to set up. Lets get started shall we!
  1. Go get MacFUSE and install it
  2. Go get NTFS-3G and install it
  3. Reboot your system for the installations to take affect
Thats it! If you are having trouble finding the download link for NTFS-3G, here it is.
Here is the result in actions. First you will see I copy the file 'axxo' from OS X to my windows partition(It is called Untitled, but you will just have to believe me that it really is my windows partition).

Second I am using quicklook on the windows partition of the 'axxo' file that I just transferred.

Enjoy!
