Another Carlson Twins desktop wallpaper.

Image

Previously, I posted Carlson Twins desktop wallpaper on [sdp=32495]12th May 2004[/sdp], [sdp=49862]26th Dec 2004[/sdp]. Actually, my regular desktop wallpaper is "solid aqua blue". Just put that picture to take screenshot.

Back to solid aqua blue now :-)

You are certainly doing your best to keep these two working.

If I had a body like either one's bicept I'd have people throwing record deals at me.

Apart from just standing around like a pair of posers without their shirts on, what exactly do those Carlson Twins do?
I can't be bothered looking on Google. Nor, would I have any of their pictures as my desktop background. I'm not
that way inclined! (Not that I have anything against those that are of course!) Mind you, I'm sure I'd get some
funny looks from my friends and work colleagues if I did put shirtless blokes on my computer desktop!

They are models. They are not gays.

What are they " modeling"? They ain't got no shirts or nothing on. and i personally wouldn't have them on my wall paper. If i were to have twins, why not the Olsen twins eh?
haha

Kyle and Lane Carlson are Abercrombie and Fitch's male models, and they made a big hit in 2001 after appearing in A&F's posters and magazines. If you check Abercrombie and Fitch's catalogue, it's not hard to notice that A&F and more new fashion clothing are now featuring little clothing.

You may want to take a look at Taking Screenshots in Mac OS X

I think that it was also the F15 key on really old Macs, although I could be mistaken. I don't believe that newer Macs have the F15 key anymore.

Please check the Help document in your Mac.

Or see [sdp=43758]this post on how to take screenshots in Mac OS X Panther[/sdp]
  • To capture the entire screen, press :cmd: + [tt]Shift[/tt] + [tt]3[/tt].
  • To capture part of a screen, press :cmd: + [tt]Shift[/tt] + [tt]4[/tt].
it would save to a PDF file on the desktop.

If you want to save the screenshot to clipboard,
  • To capture the entire screen, press :cmd: + [tt]Shift[/tt] + [tt]3[/tt], then press [tt]space bar[/tt].
  • To capture part of a screen, press :cmd: + [tt]Shift[/tt] + [tt]4[/tt], then press [tt]space bar[/tt].


If you use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger:

:cmd: + shift + 3 for picture of the whole screen
:cmd: + shift + 4 for the selection the care you want to take
:cmd: + shift + 4, then space bar to take a picture of an element.

In some versions of Mac OS X Panther, the screenshot will saved in PNG format, you might need to convert to graphic files, JPEG is recommend, as PNG is usually too big.

To copy screenshots to Clipboard, please hold down Ctrl key when you press the other keys.

Antony Desktop in Action, part 4

After I made three successfully Antony Desktop in Action in 2004, this is a new Desktop in Action. This time, featuring Dashboard as introduced in [sdt=8740]Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"[/sdt].

Image

To see the movie:
[img=left]http://mac.sillydog.org/pix/qt7_req.gif[/img] Watch Antony Desktop in Action, part 4 (in H.264 format)
(You will need [sdt=8828]QuickTime 7 Player[/sdt] to watch the movie. 905KB)

[img=left]http://mac.sillydog.org/pix/qt5_req.gif[/img] The same movie is also encoded in older format for non-QuickTime 7 users, QuickTime 5+ or recent verions of RealPlayer is required, 1.38MB. (in Sorenson Video 3 format, a popular codec.)

Let's do some math, 1.38MB is about 1413KB. It's easy to tell that the older format is about 56% more then the H.264 format in file size.

[img=left]http://mac.sillydog.org/pix/getquicktime.gif[/img] [sdt=8828]QuickTime 7 Player[/sdt] is available for Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" and Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" users, Windows version will be available soon.
