A Collection of Code, Art, and Thought

There was a problem in the threading system of the previous copy of this code. The application worked perfectly with the standard lock screen, but when you locked the screen with something like WidgetLocker while running it, the app froze and had to be killed before it would work correctly again. This is the updated code.
