It’s release week in Android land. It’s kinda like Christmas… if the presents took months to reach some of the good little geeks and nerds.
If you’re rocking Nougat right now, I’m happy for you. This is the benefit of buying a Nexus. For the rest of us, we’ll be waiting a little while for Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and the rest to get updates to our phones. Okay, some of us will be waiting a lotta while, but in the meantime, we’ve got a little piece of Nougat you can taste on your own device: a rocking new wallpaper, pulled from the Google Now Launcher that pushed with Nougat on the Nexus 6P and 5X.
It’s pink. It’s glorious. It’s dusky. And even though it’s not the most exciting wallpaper, it’s a wallpaper with a subtle grace and simplicity to add some class to your home screen.

Waves are enigmatic things. Taming them is impossible. Riding them takes the experience and the faith to let it carry you away. Wave represent tension, conflict, and yet they are quite peaceful to watch, and especially to hear.
