I have a confession. I don’t send holiday cards. Or fruit baskets. Or, really, much of anything.

I know. It’s sad. But to try to make up for it, here’s a nice little desktop from the zeldman.com design archives.

Download the appropriate size, install in your Desktop preference pane, and enjoy hours of eye-bleeding fun, care of your old pal, Jeffrey. Happy Holidays!

• 1920 x 1200 px

   Mr. Zeldman, please don’t do a desktop wallpaper anymore. Please, I can’t take it. :)

   Why not just crop and resize the 1280 x 800 version down?

    Gee… I hate to tell you this, but it kind of reminds me of the photos they gave me from my endoscopy.

    i stared at it for few minutes and it seems to ripple, zooms in and out.
    is it the vaginal wall?
    an ad for condom with nanocam?
    like not forgetting to put on a condom even if i´m too dizzy, hehe
    bottomline >> safety, graceful degradation
    this is supercool
