Decided to open up Quartz Composer the other day for the first time. Pretty sweet.

After a little playing around I came up with an extremely basic screen saver idea that floats three cubes around your screen, displaying the first 18 images from a given Flickr RSS feed. You can change the feed to whichever you’d like; the default is mine.

Included my patch macros, below. If you have any thoughts, please let me know– I’m extremely eager to get better at this.
