Thanks to Jesse for pointing out that the font used in the system screensavers is PMN Caecilia 55 Roman

Note that the creation of these was somewhat constrained by my ability to find high-res photos of my favorite authors. Also, I’m aware of how much these resemble “Think Different” posters.

There are a few pain points for me — the lack of user customizable screensavers (fixed with a hack), poor collection management and poor instapaper integration. I’ve worked on solutions to each of those — I’ve made a few of my own screensavers, written a python script to do bulk collection management from the desktop (except you need to reboot every time you modify collections.json) and written a script to bundle collections of webpages or rss feeds into a book (that won’t be overwritten by weekly periodical pushes).

The first bit of code I’ve cleaned up is the ebook maker, hosted at https://github.com/blackmad/Ebook-Maker based on code from http://code.google.com/p/python-epub-builder/

Using it (and some one-off python hacking), I made books out of each of the longform best-of-2010 categories

Also, none of the source is commented or logical, planning to clean it up this weekend.
