Aldo Giammusso

Personal site Buffalo, New York Since 1978

A web designer who never stopped looking up.

I'm Aldo Giammusso. I've run AldoMedia, LLC in Western New York since 1999. This is my corner of the internet for everything that isn't client work: photos, games, apps, 360° tours and a blog about space, UFOs and science. Just a bunch of nonsense, made with care.

Three things worth your time first.

No. 01 · Mac app

MacPulse

My first app. A check-up for your Mac in one window: a health score, a malware scan, a careful cleaner, an uninstaller that finds the leftovers, disk health, a DNS speed test and every update in one place.

Tag François

Track François through a Paris park under the Eiffel Tower and along the beach at Mont-Saint-Michel. He hides, dodges and plays dead. Tag him three times, to an accordion waltz.

No. 03 · Generator

The wallpaper maker

No two alike. Pick a style and a palette, shuffle until something makes you stop, then download it at the exact size of your screen. This one is “Buffalo ringed planet,” seed 716.
