Literature

Wake the Dead

Deadmen dance In your winding sheets Rattle your bones To the Earth's heartbeats To live is to grieve; So grieve in their stead Wake the dead Wake the dead Waiting canvas, bleached remains The pale horse's rider, he is Her day Muertos quieridos, despertarse a nosotros. (Beloved dead, waken to us.) Lovers dance Like angels afire Tangle your bodies On the funeral pyre To live is to burn; So burn in their stead Wake the dead Wake the dead Rose of violence, blood of birth The red horse's rider, he is Her sun Muertos quieridos, estara con nosotros. (Beloved dead, be with us.) Children dance While the church bell rings Learn

Chrome Themes

I've been making a bunch of Google Chrome themes. They're here: http://www.themebeta.com/user/35520 I noticed that not every theme maker credits the artist from whom they got their pictures.  That's sad.  I try to do so.

Searching for cursors, I found out that a deviant named juanello00000 (http://juanello00000.deviantart.com) has been taking other people's work and posting it under his account without permission.
