SaverLab

Coolest thing I’ve found recently. Saver­Lab is a lit­tle, free pro­gram that lets you run a Mac OS X screen­saver in a win­dow, like an appli­ca­tion. For a lit­tle over a year now, I’ve been run­ning a screen­saver over the Inter­net for our par­ents. They con­nect with their Mac OS X com­put­ers and select our screen­saver, it down­loads pic­tures of Aidan to their machines, and when they start their screen­savers they get Aidan! When I update pic­tures, it auto­mat­i­cally updates their com­put­ers, so they get only the most recent pic­tures of Aidan.

Very cool.

What Saver­Lab lets me do is have a win­dow run­ning that shows all those pic­tures of Aidan. I don’t have to put my com­puter to sleep to see them, I just have to look in the cor­ner. I like it. A lot.
