While poking around the internets I came across a freeware, Flash Player 9 compatible screensaver utility called InstantStorm. It was used to make Simon Heys’ Word Clock which is a great looking, cross-platform typographic clock. InstantStorm, unfortunately, is Windows-Only, however, Simon himself created a cocoa-based version that he plans to release as an open source project. Let’s hope he stays on the ball!

Instantstorm is really cool. I’ve created a lot of screensaver with it.
Because there isn’t anything for Mac, I wrote this native Mac tool under creative commons:
