What desktop are you going tto wear today my good GUI?

I've been thinking about displaying my less than ordinary themes for a while now. While most people have ultra cool, jazzed-up themes mine are pretty plain and boring.

Interesting phenomenon

I came by this interesting water feature at a local carwash

Hiatus Much?
