Tomorrow, my music composition is due as part of my High School Certificate. Like last year, I decided that I would post it to Tumblr, because they’re a button to do that.

So enjoy my untitled Japanese composition. I’ve modeled it around Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, as you can hear throughout the sections.

Guess the season order! (hint: they don’t go chronologically)

Ahhhh my friends know me too well.

People often wonder where are some of the best places to get great computer wallpaper. A good background becomes something of a mediocre status symbol (okay, not really) or just an interesting talking point.

Here is a list of some of the places I have found which offer a great selection of wallpaper:

Wallpaperart.org

Iconpaper.org

DeviantArt (good luck sifting through that mess)

Finding good iPhone wallpaper is also relevant to me now, so here are the two places I always go when searching for the perfect background:

Poolga.com

A Lyric A Day (not strictly for the iPhone, but they fit perfectly)

There is one more website I have found containing amazing wallpaper, but I am not at leisure to disclose it. It’s not my secret to give away. We’ll see, Jack may change his mind.

Update! Dom Barlow gave me a link to another great wallpaper site, Digital Blasphemy, filled with hundreds of 3D rendered wallpapers! Thank Dom!

Communal Locker (pretty much James')

James' Locker

Dom's Locker

I love Sweet Home Style, the tumblelog filled with pictures of amazing homes and interiors. Yesterday, Dom and I came up with the idea of photographing our school lockers and submitting them to Sweet Home Style. After all, a locker is the second home of a high school student right?

So here they are, our lockers! As you can see, we make the effort to add personal touches to them. And yes, I occupy two lockers. Fingers crossed we appear on Sweet Home Style!

Who knew Dominic May’s history extended back to the Roman period, or that he defeated France during WWII, or that he had a chronological middle section. Who knows, he’s full of existentialist and allegorical thoughts.

You know about URL shorteners like Bitly and TinyURL right? Now try ShadyURL. Instead of shortening a URL, it makes it look as malicious and illegal as possible. See what ShadyURL you get!

Apps Getting Too Hot for iTunes

Looks like Apple is taking boobs off the App Store for good. Personally, I think erotic cell phone apps takes pathetic to a whole new level, unless you downloaded them for a laugh. Apple was right to remove them for financial reasons. Having such tacky apps diminishes the perceived quality of the iPhone.

Lets look at this logically; where would you use an erotic app? You wouldn’t use one on public transport, at a restaurant, in a shop, or anywhere in public. You wouldn’t use one a work either. So where does that leave? Your home? Gee, it’s not like you have anything better than a phone in you house with which to… you know.

So I ask: what is the usage scenario of these apps? I’m sorry if I’m being too practical, but these questions must be asked. When and where would you use an erotic cell phone app?

Why am I sending you this question?

In all honesty I have no idea. I’m this close to turning off http://thejameswilson.com/ask...

Do you think anyone will ask you a question using http://thejameswilson.com/ask?

Pfft! No?! I didn’t even know I could ask myself a question.

I drew this in History today while we were scaffolding the shortcomings, achievements and obstacles of the Weimar Republic of Germany on pink paper.

This was definitely an achievement.

If you’re looking for some excellent, simple and elegant design to fill your day with, take a look at “A Lyric A Day”. The idea behind it is to take a lyric of a song and create a picture around it. As you can see, Luke Beard is creating some amazing images. It’s definitely something I’ll be following.

This is… Interesting.

According to Twitter, I’ve made over 19,000 tweets. That means I’ve made 13,000 in the past week.

Even I’m not that addicted.

Google’s iPhone web search has been improved recently. It now displays a bigger search box and search button. It’s vastly better from the previous version which I found impossible to use. However, the search box still makes no sense when you consider there is another search box already built into Safari on the iPhone.

See it there? The one with ‘Google’ in it? Now see the one below it? See why Google did this? Maybe? Yeah me neither.

It’s confirmed. Apple has sent out invitations to it’s latest press event, scheduled for the 27th of January. The event is suspected to reveal the prolific Apple tablet, information about iPhone 4.0 and now iLife 2010 according to FOX news.

It’s a shame it’s happening the day I go back to school. I’m sure there’s a message I should be listening to on this, but who cares.
