Life of a Desktop
Life of a Desktop
by , 9:50 AM EST, December 27th, 2007
The Mac OS X Desktop is a very personal thing that can represent a snapshot of a user's digital life. One Mac user at the advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day took those snapshots and strung them together -- 365 of them -- to show a year's worth of Desktop life. You can see the life of a Desktop at Sean Ohlenkamp's Web site, and it takes far less time to watch than it took to create.

Observer Comments
How freakin' cool is that? A year in the life of a Mac user's desktop. 
1. I think it's cool that Sean used Stickies to keep track of an ongoing list of projects. I do the same thing.
2. He seems to have a really funky habit of arranging folders in long strings.
3. Look at all those freakin' folders & files. At a glance, he appears to be a very busy guy (though might have too much time on his hands if he can take snapshots of his desktop every day! ).
