One of the most beautiful things I've seen in a while... Link Seen in Ryan Shelton's Twitter Feed.

With the following five screensavers your computer screen will look very hip, whether you are or not. Below are five downloadable clock/date screensavers that are both well-designed and function beautifully. Some are free, (but a donation to them via paypal would be nice), others are free to try but cost to purchase.

Design Spotlight: Sick ass Screensaver Gone are the days of swirly lines bouncing around your screen to keep whatever images are on there from burning permanently into the screen. No more scrolling lines of text that may or may not say how cool i am.

DROPCLOCK IS AN AESTHETICALLY INTRIGUING MOTION CLOCK SCREENSAVER. EVERY MINUTE OF REAL TIME IS NUMERICALLY EXPRESSED WITH HEAVY HELVETICA DROPPING INTO WATER IN SUPER SLOW-MOTION. The Helvetica font isn’t the only thing that’s heavy about this screen saver; the download clocks in at 137 MB.

I’m not a huge fan of screensavers because I prefer that my system turns the monitor automatically off when I’m not working with it. The only purpose of screensavers in my opinion is to show of which is of course only useful if someone else sees the screensaver.
