August Schedule Wallpaper - DONE and Ripe for the Picking!

Just wanted to create a placeholder for my August 2008 Schedule Wallpaper. Yes, I did start it a week ago, but between papers and other things, it just kind of fell by the wayside. Regardless, I hope to have it up sometime tomorrow night, hopefully in time for the first pitch of the Marlins game. If not, then definitely when you wake up on 8/2.
What's been occupying my time over the last week? Oh, nothing in particular.
Go Rockies!
EDIT
It's done! As you can see, my new favorite Photoshop tool is the Gradient tool, which has been put to great use in the previous two wallpapers. This one is nicknamed "Purple Rising"; as you can tell, the purple is settling over the downtown Denver area...soon it will be impossible to escape the purple!
As per usual, low-quality JPEGs are attached below as previews, with the actual desktops under the previews - simply choose the resolution that fits your computer. A word of caution, though. I discovered with the All-Star Game wallpaper that the JPEG previews contain less color information than their high-quality BMP brothers; this means that the previews looked an awful lot more "yellow" than what the wallpaper actually looked like. So if it's a color issue that's turning you off, check the full version and you may be more inclined to download :) . Also, these take forever to download. It is worth it, trust me, because the picture will come through clear and not grainy, but it will take ages. Let me know if you have any troubles.
And please leave comments if you like it or don't! I'm still playing around with the calendar...this month it's two rows again, but the days of the week are now above each box for reference. Also, I made the logos a bit smaller this time around.
Anyway, happy wallpaper-ing! And Go Rockies!

Joseph P. Nacchio (born June 22, 1949, in Brooklyn, New York), was chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Qwest Communications International from 1997 to 2002. He was convicted of 19 counts of insider trading in Qwest stock on April 19, 2007. On July 27 2007, Joseph Nacchio was sentenced to six years in federal prison. Federal Judge Edward Nottingham also ordered Nacchio to pay a $19 million fine and forfeit $52 million he gained in illegal stock sales. As of October 15, 2007 he was free on bail, appealing his conviction on the basis that the U.S. government retaliated against Qwest for his refusal to give customer data to the National Security Agency. On March 17, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit overturned his conviction on the basis of defense expert witness testimony that was improperly excluded, and ordered a new trial before a different trial judge.

Best part of working in that building
From the 35th floor, you can see the jumbotron well enough to read the colors—the longer it stays purple, the better I know we’re doing.
I wonder if you can actually see onto field level from the very top floors…
Unfortunately (for me), my own office faces east, so I have to go a conference room so I can bow 8 blocks west and pray for victory five times a day.
