Screensavers and other Web Toys

I recently got a second monitor and needed something to put on it when I wasn't using it, and I was shocked to find that data visualization websites and "web toys" are much rarer than they used to be. So here's the list of websites I did find, focusing mostly on things that do not require constant input to continue to be interesting, and are web-based, so keep in mind they can go down at any time. (many gotten from a post by Simon Madine, 2012, many contributed by Mr.doob although I have included a selection below.)

Sparkstember Day 19:

OK so this one's a little tenuous, but follow me here... I was researching different editions of Lil' Beethoven and I saw there was a deluxe version of the album with a CD-ROM component, even boasting a Lil' Beethoven SCREENSAVER.

So what if Sparks had fully embraced the CD-ROM era and released AFTER SPARKS: the official screensaver collection...?

This is the After Dark module Psycho Deli in action on a PowerMac G4 MDD, booted into MacOS 9. 

And here are some screenshots of the different patterns.  One of them just screams “Dr. Seuss” to me...see if you can figure out which one.

They all move similar to the video, a sort of rotating, pulsating, ever-morphing bunch of Eye Candy that I miss greatly.  I still have the files, just don’t have a Classic-OS-Era Mac now.

And a video I made of my old Mac Portrait monitor with the Flying Toasters playing, with music from a CD of ambient tunes I made using my Roland Juno 106.

Never mind skull dude, fresh animated horror just dropped!

(No idea what they're calling that, since I do indeed have xscreensaver set to randomly cycle through whatever it's got. Mostly for nostalgia and giggles.)

1995 Wildstorm Comics Screensavers Comic Ad

bridget wallpaper !! send me an ask if you’d like any characters in this style

(I’ll be making a ton more soon as i have time i just needed to devote some time to make a lil pick me up screensaver to help keep motivations up daily. hope it helps yall too!) if you dont like the tails of the arrows like me you can just change the screen setting like i did

(I realized after this was so perfect from something i wanted to make one with that's modern that gets me throuuugh it. which is a quote from this song by Wallows: “Work hard no matter what happens next”, so I'm very happy about that lol)

Factoids you just can't stop telling people

*Every time "Smoke on the Water plays*: "This is based on a true story Frank Zappa and the Mothers were playing at Montreux casino when an arsonist burned the building. The Zappa group lost all their equipment and Deep Purple loaned them there's, than the next week in London, Zappa was badly injured when an angry audience member ran up on stage and threw him off!"

*When somebody brings up After Dark screensavers* "Did you know Bad Dog was the only screensaver to have an animated series based on it!"
