Sweltering heat.
The smell of BBQ and citronella candles.
The sound of the ice cream truck coasting down your street.
WFMU’s collection of ice cream truck (downloadable) audio clips.
And part II of the collection.
They make the perfect Summer ringtones.
Summer and the sweltering heat are here. Below are some updated fancy new ice cream wallpapers I’ve made, to get all of you in the Summer mood.
Click on the images for downloadable wallpapers of each.
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, CA.
Vanilla soft-serve with blue cotton candy swirl.
Dreyer*s “Take the Cake” ice cream (yellow cake flavored ice cream with blue frosting swirl and colored sprinkles). Safeway “Rainbow Cone” green ice cream cone.
Foster’s Freeze, Menlo Park, CA.
Grape (wax?) dipped soft-serve vanilla.
Baskin & Robbins, Menlo Park, CA.
“Rock’n Pop Swirl” (grape and green apple sherbet with Pop Rocks mixed in) on top of Cotton Candy ice cream.
This month’s issue of Wired magazine ran an article about MegaPhone – turning big-screen billboards into giant game screens, your cellphone becomes a game controller, and all you have to do is call the phone number posted on the screen and you’re playing video games on the side of a building.
Recently, Palo Alto based product engineering firm MindTribe has placed a 65″ plasma screen in a front window with the same idea in mind. You dial the phone number on the screen and you are now playing a version of Tetris while standing in the middle of the sidewalk (and it’s free). Bonus: if you get a high score, your snapshot goes up on their website.

Technically we still have several weeks to go . . . but if the temperatures are already at 90ยบ, then Summer is here.
Time for a wallpaper change. Going with a Summer theme.
Here’s a nice “Fresh Grass” front lawn wallpaper (by SoftBend) and “June” field of grass wallpaper (by Frank De Graeve) from Pixelgirl Presents.
Now I need to find dog poop icons.
