Images I've Had On My Computer Since 200X

Strange and interesting images I saved to my computer between 1999-2007. Everything you see on this blog is older than Tumblr. I have provided as much info as I have for each image, but some things are lost to time. If you have a source on an image feel free to contact me.

Date downloaded: July 19, 2003  Information I have about this image: A photomanipulation making it appear as if Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassination is actually a live band. Nice touch with the logo in the back. I have no idea who made this image, but I’ve seen it everywhere for years -- I once saw it used in a print advertisement for professional photomanipulation services.

Date saved: May 25, 2003 Information I have about this image: It’s been some time but I believe that someone else made the original version of this (i.e. they came up with the dialogue) and this is my re-done version for my own desktop with a more readable font

Date downloaded: February 16, 2000 Information I have about this image: A Windows desktop wallpaper for Sting’s current album at the time, Brand New Day. 

This was the first new Sting album to come out since I had gotten into his music, and it was a big deal to me. I remember listening to this album a lot. These days, I only like a couple songs off it. That’s how it is sometimes.

Date downloaded: January 17, 1999 Information I have about this image: A spoof of the Intel logo & slogan, definitely inspired by and probably made by the once and future Net God, James “Kibo” Parry.

My Kibo Number is 1 (Kibo emailed me in 2001 to tell me that he did some typography work in an alternative weekly that I was published in.)
