I don't think I've posted this before, but if your computer can handle it, this is the best screensaver evar.
http://electricsheep.org/

Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver run by thousands of people all over the world. It can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience.

So especially you stoners! Get it!
It's like that SETI program, but only aesthetic purpose.

No connection with one of my favorite online comic sites, E-sheep.

I LOVE stuff like this: fractals, etc. Thanks for the link. Here at home we usually put the winamp visualisations on with music and stare at the tv for hours.

Thank you for helping me bring together such radically different groups.

I turned on GrooveSalad and Electric Sheep and melted into the sofa
