I’ve been introduced to Geektool,  which is basically an application that lets you run Terminal scripts on your desktop as well as images and files.

After a day of learning the commands I’ve finally positioned my desktop how I like it with live news feeds from Yahoo, time, date, IP addresses, and with help from Yahoo Widgets I’ve managed to get my current battery life and the weather. Of course most of this is unnecessary and pointless, but it looks cool and I like it.

Here’s my current desktop.
