Thanks to everyone who entered into my last SBI giveaway about Your Favourite Childhood Toy! It was really interesting to see the diversity of toys... some of whom are lost to time, and others of which are passed to the next generation in a well-loved form!
This week, I have been noticing other people's lockscreens... and what photo/image that they tend to put on it... mostly, it appears to be either family photos or more likely, just whatever came with the phone!
Cataclysm by Samer Zayer
One of the best things that I love about Android, is the endless customisation options at a user level... and even more if you are technically minded and don't mind rooting your phone. Anyway, my wife's phone has a backdrop that cycles every day through various paintings from Western Art History...
However, I use an app called Backdrops (on Android Playstore) to get some really awesome background art for both my homescreen and lockscreen. Above is my lockscreen cover art, which is an image called Cataclysm by Samer Zayer.... it's definitely not a family photo!
Eternal Night by Samer Zayer
... and my homescreen background art is this slightly more soothing piece called Eternal Night, also by Samer Zayer (I appear to have an affinity for his style!). Definitely two slightly contrasting pieces from the same artist... I've stuck with these for over a year... I used to have a daily rotating artwork from the NASA gallery, but for some reason that stopped working... and also, sometimes the featured "art" was a little... crap. Sometimes it was Hubble shots, other times it would be a graph of something...
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!
The last post paid out 0 SBD and 1.436 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 2 shares.
