Mac Dock Icon Spelling!
This literally popped up on my desktop and I thought it was too good not to share. I’ll try and come up with a few more, but here are a few get started.
Take a screen shot of yours and send it my way and I’ll add to the the list. mike (d0t) giepert at WK (d0t) com — Have fun!!!
Thank you to everyone who has sent in their words. The easiest way to submit is to take a screenshot of just the icon dock (shift+command+4 then hit space bar over the dock) and sent it my way. I’ll try and keep posting submissions.
★★ SeanJA had the great idea to to make these into downloadable wallpapers ★★

As in: wasting your Sunday afternoon making these things instead of going out, might make you an agoraphobe.
LOL, pretty creative
Haha! Cool!
You should make a scrabble game with the dock logos instead of the letters.
very creative and much free time
very cool
“very cool” – This is as cool as my left nut retracting.
HAHAHA. True THATT
If you made them bigger they could be wallpapers
That’s a great idea! I’ll try and figure out how to make desktop sizes downloadable.
Would be easy to make them a desktop as the backgrounds are only black or white. Just put them in the centre of photoshop and match bg colour. Sorted! (If you didn’t already know).
This is a strange but cool use of the macdock. =]
Wallpapers available to download!

What’s that icon with the paint dropper? Is it some sort of color selector?
It’s the Digital Color Meter, a great standard Mac app located in the utilities folder.
LOL this is awesome! Respect

Added mine. You can use the images if you want, but mine are tiny (because I have too many things in the dock).
