Desktop Day: Happy Hanukkah

Tuesday night saw the Hanukkah lighting ceremony at Grand Army Plaza. According to the Brooklyn Paper a competing ceremony was held at Borough Hall, WHERE THE MENORAH WAS ONE FOOT HIGHER (PWNED!).

Brooklyn Public Library

The Brooklyn Public Library as you see here is by Githens and Keally and was completed in 1941. However there was a 1908 design by Raymond F. Almirall for a Beaux Arts structure. A skeleton was completed before financial problems halted the project, and so the later Art Moderne design had to stick to the Almirall form. The gilded reliefs are by Carl Paul Jennewein who also has murals in the spectacular lobby of the Woolworth Building.

Desktop Day: Creek Out

Here's our first Mac and PC desktop day! We are pleased to present a tree growing from the rotting cabin of a boat in Coney Island Creek. The top image should fit nicely on a regular PC monitor, and the bottom on a wide-screen Mac. Left click on the image to open the full-size version.
