fancy pants twitter wallpaper
Usually I’ve not subscribed to the theory that if all the other kids are doing it, I should be doing it too.
As examples I never smoked, drank or did drugs. I’m not better than anyone who does those things (although I think its a rare case where I may be considered smarter) but I just never felt the need to fit in socially with such crutches. My obnoxious personality has always seen me through.
But lately as I have been studying Twitter, I did develop a case of wallpaper envy. You see for some reason (and for the life of me I cannot figure out why this happened) I clicked on CC Chapman’s Twitter home page and saw his very attractive wallpaper that he obviously created (you have to sign in to see it).
It occurred to me that this might be yet another example of a fad or trend that I had been completely oblivious to so I checked Chris Brogan’s, Leesa Barnes’ and Christopher S. Penn’s pages.
Yup, fancy, cool, well branded wallpapers on all of them.
I was yet again late for lunch; I had missed the bus, I was an east coaster working on Central time. Action had to be taken.
Well I slogged through about 20 me-made designs that technically and artistically looked like crap (clearly all the aforementioned have Macs) before I yelled “uncle” and called Ann Hackett over at aHa designs to bail me out of my pathetic state. She did.
OK, so I’m “me too” on this one. But doesn’t the page look subtle and smashing? Why, it’s Twitterific!
