So I was surfing the interwebs and I came across a nice little post on lifehacker about a program known as Sliderdock. Basically, it sets up your programs in a circular ring that lets your spin them around on your desktop to select them. Sound familiar? Actually, it's a near perfect representation of the desktop setup of the Altimit Mine OS from the GU games. I mean, look at the picture on the main webpage.
It's even got the same background! =P Figured I would pass this on to your guys. Here's the link:
