I started using a screen saver called Word Clock a few months before I upgraded to Snow Leopard and was kind of obsessed with what an awesome idea it was. It’s minimal and yet still adds some serious cool factor to your computer when your not using it.

Unfortunately when I upgraded the screensaver stopped working. Anytime the screensaver would activate it would just say “this screensaver is not compatible with this version of Mac OS X” or something like that. So after a few weeks of being too lazy to pick a new screensaver I found that they had updated the screensaver for Snow Leopard compatibility. SWEET!

If you’re a typography nerd, you’ll probably love customizing this thing. Check out the video for what it looks like in action.
