Reader Philip’s OS X desktop not only gives him a quote of the day and tells him what happened this day in history—it also has a unique, interesting clock sitting on the background wallpaper.

The desktop is a combination of:

• Wallpaper Clock
• GeekTool with custom scripts for Quote of the Day and This Day in History.
• Font: Kraken Thin

Great job, Philip!

Once you’ve created your own beautifully tweaked (and hopefully productive) desktop, post it over in the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr Group complete with a description of the programs and tweaks you used (and preferably links as well!), and we just might feature it here.
