Title has no bearing on content. This is all about how I fixed screen 2 with a new Power Control widget. Since it replaced DroidLight (finally!) I also killed RunKeeper from the screen, since it doesn’t have a good icon yet. I might setup screen 1 or 5 for that kind of stuff, but we’ll see.
Fancy new Power Control widget
I guess I wasn’t quite done after that last post. The icons were standing out too much to me, so I had to fix them. Some of these aren’t final, but they definitely fit in better.
Still need a better power control/toggle widget though.
Main homescreen.
Media and utility homescreen.
Social homescreen.
And, repasted from the previous post, just for reference:
Screen 1, showing what it looks like empty. Screen 5 is identical.
Hello Internet!
I felt like doing something vaguely creative today when I got back from playing disc golf, so I started mucking about with the wallpaper on my Droid, which I hadn’t changed in over a year. I constantly tweak widgets and launchers trying to find something I’m fully happy with, and while I’m not quite there yet, I think I’m getting closer. Take a look at these, Dear Internet, and tell me what you think.
The image of Clare I found here and cut down to size. The rest is all Launcher Pro. Does anyone know of a better toggle widget bar?
Enough text. Screenies!
Screen 1, showing what it looks like empty. Screen 5 is identical.
My primary homescreen (3).
My utility screen (2).
Screen four, with clutter and social stuff.
Remind me to make a post about how I’m such a sellout.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Loverz,
Graeme
Everything I have, which I wish was more (and why did I take so few pictures in 2010?):

It’s amazing how okay I am with this in the middle of the day and how upset I am by it in the middle of the night.
I’ve cried more over this cat than I did over the last two human members of my family who passed away combined. What does that say about me?
I miss hearing random jangling bells in the hallway, especially when the doorbell rings or a door opens somewhere. I’ve been surfing the net all night and no one has poked my elbow with their paw to tell me to stop. No one has burrowed under the covers on the bed because the heat’s gone down for the night. No one to race me out of the bed when I wake up, either. The treat ball is just sitting in the corner. What am I supposed to do with all of this stuff?
It’s not fair that she didn’t get an old age or even any warning. Her heart just stopped, in the middle of the night, for no reason. That’s not fair.
This is my website and I can do what I want!

Last Picture
At 12:28am my cat Skirt suddenly died. I’m not sure why. It seems like it was a heart attack or something similar. Shocked..so young.
She was sleeping on the floor in the bedroom and then kind of jumped in the air and fell on her back while I was reading in bed. When I called her she didn’t respond at all so I got out and checked on her and she seemed to be struggling to breathe. She made a few gagging noises with her eyes wide open and her tongue out and then just stopped…completely limp. I tried to bring her around but she was just gone, like that.
She was only 5, and healthy.
I wrapped her in a quilt because I’m not even sure what else to do. It’s the middle of the night. What can I do, really? She was dead before I could even think to call an emergency vet much less get her there.
I’ve lost pets before, even instantly to things like cars, but never in such a strange manner in the middle of the night.
Skirt :(
Edit: Results are in. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and an undersized heart on top of it. She didn’t have long one way or another. :(
This weekend Billy, Scott, Brad and I gamed it up at GP Atlanta. Due to my broken hand only recently being capable of shuffling, plus the pain of not owning [card Mutavault]Mutavaults[/card], I decided to skip the extended main event and mostly play Elder Dragon Highlander side events, which I will absolutely refuse to call Commander.
Being the frugal person that I am, I took this as an excuse to immediately spend more money pimping out my EDH decks than I would have building the rest of Faeries to play for real money. In my world this is how penny-pinching works. The plan was for Billy and I to shark all the free-for-all tables like assholes with our new, full-power decks. I also took the time to upgrade my more casual/fun blow-shit-up deck a bit too. Here’s the lists as they ended up, white control deck first:

This deck is designed for multiplayer. It makes itself look unassuming compared to the other decks on the table, wraths when needed (the deck has 9 wrath effects) and finally ends up casting big fatties angels and doing weird recursion or drawing a bunch of cards. It’s mono-white control stuffed with good stuff. It’s not the most aggressive deck in the world, but what it does do is survive. This is the one I played at the for-pay tables at the GP.

This is the fun deck. It goes boom and tries to Voltron someone to death with general damage. It is an absolute blast to play, though it’s not necessarily “good”.
I’d talk about individual matches and games, but meh. Who really wants to hear that? I just wanted to show off the EDH decks! I’m working on a full-power, hateful combo deck around [card Teysa, Orzhov Scion]Teysa[/card] next, and I might update with that if I feel like it.
I have drafts of a long pop culture blog post, a post on Magic, and a Picasso strip all festering in my WordPress install. Too much work, too lame, and too lazy, respectively.
