To fill a need no one knew existed, now available: Shaderlab wallpaper. Get robotic with the gas-powered hot-air balloon floating around on a balmy day. Plain old Quake 3 map, if you believe it:

Should give Hamish a ring or something. I’m sure the date has some significance...

Update for the new year: Quit smoking, moved (again), cut all my hair off, fixed up Q3Map a spot, and been working on RtCW for PlayStation 2 and XBox.
