What do you use for your computer background?

[lisab]

Mine's an homage to memes (a work in progress ):

What's yours?

 

[Evo]

I love it lisab!

 

[Danger]

That's great!
Now we just have to re-equip Moonbear's kitty with a raygun in place of the sniper rifle and insert it. It's a new movie in the offing: "Fur Wars".

I tend to have a new one every week, currently it is this one: little sumo in love

I use a version of this picture (scaled to just the right size for my monitor), which I took during my first trip to Europe, while I was a college student.

 

[eyeofdivine]

This is a picture I took on my phone when I was on a picnic nothing special really.

 

[turbo]

I use an SDSS image of M51, since interacting galaxies of that type are my research specialty.

http://hera.ph1.uni-koeln.de/~heintzma/EndSt/Messier/bilder/M51SDSS.jpe Just Google "SDSS pretty pictures" and there it is!

the bamboo forest that comes with Vista

 

[Danger]

I almost never see my background; either PF, Google, or Adventure Quest (or sometimes all of them) is always up and running full screen. I just open new windows over top of them to access other functions. It is, however, the pretty purplish color spray (sort of like a nebula crossed with the Northern Lights) that comes with Tiger. My screen-saver is also a Tiger inclusion: shifting space scenes.

 

[leroyjenkens]

I've had the same background for several months; I don't remember when I changed it to the current one, but I couldn't even tell you what it is without minimizing.
It's one of the default Windows pictures of an up close picture of a leaf.

Haha, love it!


I'm a bit moody about it, I usually photoshop the photo, and add a number of lines of whatever I find interesting. Sometimes I use some of Andre's shots. But currently, I have the blue stones that comes with Vista.


Love yours too Lisa, so creative.

 

[rootX]

Mostly just a white background.

Congratulations! You have brought a new dimension to the term "oxymoron".

You have pretty funny-shaped monitor...

 

[lisab]

These are all great pix .

From back in 2003... My cat used to help me use my computer.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Currently this, but I have a folder of pics for backgrounds.

That looks like the lagoon in one of the chat backgrounds.

Here's another Hubble shot - really spectacular!

[Leptos]

Here's what I currently use:

I also like some of the images found on hubblesite.org or clever/funny images that aren't blurry when I set them as desktop backgrounds.

 

[lisab]

Oooo that's an especially nice Mandelbrot set...I just stole it

 

[diazona]

Mine's attached, but I'm starting to get tired of it... what I'd really like is to have one 4096×1152 image that can be split across my two monitors. Haven't found a good one yet though.

I'm sorry. could you put "I am here" on the photo for us rookies? (I can't make you out.)
Thanks!

 

[Klockan3]

When I first saw this thread I thought it was about what you put in your CV to show that you got a background with computers...

I took this from my summer place:

 

[jtbell]

Is that the Baltic coastline?

 

[Klockan3]

Is that the Baltic coastline?

It is from a Swedish island in the Baltic sea. What made you think that it was Baltic? Edit: I mean, that is quite a hard thing to guess imo. Beaches like that are rare here since most of the mountain sides are really old and eroded, this is quite a special case.

Hubble picture of M66. Yours is great though Lisa. I stole it for my screensaver slideshow.

 

[Alienjoey]

I usually have Snoopy wallpapers because I'm still six years old at heart. :P

 

[Borek]

What's yours?

Funny that you asked right now

Up to yesterday it was this picture:

but yesterday I changed it to

(no, I have not changed monitor, these are just not exactly the same pictures that I use)
