Desktop Toys

and other pointless items

 

 

My own pointless things - including the Tonygochi

http://www.thamecf.free-online.co.uk/ - The virtual Pet Shop. Excellent choice of digital companions including the infamous sheep.

http://www.desktoptoys.com/ - download a karate kicking bloke who smashes computers. Good tension relieving fun

http://www.softseek.com/Desktop_Enhancements/Fun_Stuff/ - just the kind of thing I like - pointless and fun. One of my special favorites is the Xmas tree light set you can place around your desktop.

http://www.download.com/ - good place for all kinds of downloads. You can find games, screensavers and toys galore here

http://members.xoom.com/winannoy/ - excellent site with lots of toys and desktop pets.

 http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/east/6/fun.html - screen mates

http://www.eng.utoledo.edu/~hchia/screen/screen.htm Screen Mate Software collection

http://www.bcpl.net/~wnidiffe/dtoys.html - mainly things like automatic wallpaper changers.

 

 

 

Screensavers

Looking for a screensaver?

If you can't find it in one of these, then it probably doesn't exist

 

http://www.galttech.com/ssheaven.shtml - major screensaver site with 2,500 of them

http://www.screensaver.com/ - guess what? - loads of stuff

http://www.bcpl.net/~wnidiffe/ssaver.html - a load of screensavers

 

http://www.guinness.ie/ - the Guinness screensavers including the dancing man.

 http://www.io.com/~spofford/ - the primordial life screensaver - simulates evolution. It's one of the most interesting I've ever seen

 

 

 

 

Shockwave and Web Art

 

http://www.mowa.org/ - the museum of web art - great stuff

www.shockwave.com - shockwave's own page - including a site of the day.

http://www.spectacle.com - beautiful design with some interesting ideas

http://ca.yahoo.com/Arts/Visual_Arts/Web_Art/ - web art yahoo directory

http://www.bewitched.com/ - good innovative work set out in a gallery. - one of my favourites. Includes some 3d work and a nice item entitled "conflagration"
