"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don’t take the time to do that."
- Steve Jobs [Wired - Feb 1996]

I finally found the time to restore my Ubuntu desktop, which I stupidly screwed up while flashing my Palm Pre. After months of putting up with Windows Vista, the smoothness of Linux is great. I also put together a new green-based theme, to celebrate the spring spirit and all. Yes, it draws inspiration from OS X.

Is my desktop awesome or what?

A very neat minimalist workstation built from 100% Ikea (and Apple) components. More details if you click through.
Disclaimer: I love Ikea, not so much Apple.
