Electric Sheep

This is just a recommendation for anyone that is looking for a cool screensaver.

The screensaver is based on Phillip K Dick's book "Do Androids Dream in Electric Sheep" (a.k.a Blade Runner). The basic idea is that people create these animations based on fractals (called sheep). And if you are running the screensaver you can see the animations and you get to vote up or down (using up or down arrow).

Sheep that recieve a lot of votes survive for a long-time. Sheeps that don't get any votes, or get down votes "die."

The animations are really cool and if you get into it enough you can create sheep too. The screensaver is totally free no spyware or strings attached.

You can download it at:

www.electricsheep.org

If you're into cool graphics I'd highly recommend it.
