In case you needed a reminder of how fruity the left is, just take a look at this quote from Nancy Pelosi yesterday. "We've got a planet to save. Nothing less is at stake other than civilization as we know it today," the California Democrat and speaker of the House told reporters Saturday afternoon in assessing the election and the nominating convention taking place here over the week. Wow.  So Obama and Biden are going to save the planet and civilization?  I knew Obama was the...

So how is your Monday going so far?  Is the coffee good?  Well I'm glad as always on Monday I want to list some skins that came in throughout the weekend that seemed to have caught my eye. 

So now we finally have the announcement for Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden.  While I will go into what a mistake that was later, the focus is now on who will McCain pick.  The staunch supporters of Obama are defending the criticism of Biden being picked, saying the VP slot really “doesn’t matter”.  That’s funny considering the vast and obsessive hatred they have over Cheney.  Regardless, I think if McCain picks the right person he will have no problems going into November as...

If you are a fan of ObjectDock, then this weeks member spotlight should ring a bell.  WebGizmos has been a member of WinCustomize since September 2003, and during that time he has built up quite a large library of skins, most of which is in the ObjectDock gallery.  WebGizmos specializes in dock backgrounds, and he is one of the best when it comes to making either new docks, or docks based off of WindowBlinds skins. I see about 14 pages in his gallery with just a huge selection ...

I thought now would be as good as ever to write a "State of the Community" post.  Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed a lot of negativity coming back to our forums, which have been a positive place for a while now.  Negative and discouraging comments on skins have been increasing, and when a post was made to address it, it turns into another argument and battle.  This really needs to stop and it will one way or another. I do want to take a moment and give a big hats o...

Whether you use icons on ObjectDock or on the desktop , WinCustomize has plenty to choose from.  Some of my favorite types of icons are ones that are designed as replacements for application icons.  Some applications don't have very appealing icons, and I'm always happy to see an icon creator give their own version of the icon. Here are some of my recent favorites from the galleries. ...

As I have wrote about before, the United States is just too divided that a President will never “unite” the nation.  There are too many ideologies going on, and one will never change the other.  The solution?  Divide the U.S. into East and West.  I have put a lot of thought into this, and I am certain it will work.  Basically, we can draw a line down the middle of the country and give the liberals the left part, and the conservatives the right.  Of course we will ha...
