I really like Beryl, it’s fun and does offer more than just eyecandy. After reading a Beryl rant it was nice to see someone write an article on how useful it can be. There’s three in total, and two of them include videos.

You’ve probably seen this but if you haven’t check it out.

I’m a big fan of the Angry Videogame Nerd and now he’s giving it a go at movies too! Check out his first review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3.

None of this is new but interesting if you haven’t seen it before. A forum post today reminded me of them and I thought I’d share. BumpTop and Lowfat have proposed interfaces that are 3D. Unlike current 3D desktop interfaces, they are not converting what we already use.

They both use 3D to try for organic file management, similar to how you deal with papers or photos around you. I find them both very interesting but I don’t think this is the future of desktop file management. I believe they would work very well for tablet PCs or possibly some kind of photo album appliance. If you just want to see them in action, here are the videos both in Flash. Other formats available on the respective websites.
