Drooling Iguana: No, John. You are the liberals.
Phantasee: So extortion is cooler and it promotes job creation!
Ford Prefect: Maybe there can be a twist ending where Vlad shows up for the one on one duel, only to discover that Sun Tzu ignored it and burnt all his crops.

I just really love this shot of the Enterprise, I think it's the best-looking one before they went and completely ruined the paint job in 5 and 6.

A work in progress. On my desktop primarily to remind me to keep progressing, with it.

That is way too many icons for a desktop to have.

My son David, who is a big fan of the new Iron Man movie, prevailed upon me to take some screenshots from the Iron Man Blu-Ray disc to use as his desktop background. He switches back and forth between these three:

It's the dullest background ever, but I like it.

This is my desktop at work. Mike, your son might like this one.
This is essentially my desktop at home, but without the blur effects and on a plain black background.

My indecision is final. On the other hand, this one may be a keeper for at least a few weeks.
According to wikipedia, "the Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle."

Re: January 2009 Desktop Thread
Well, with a new monitor obviously comes a new wallpaper, plus one for the other monitor that I'm still using. Ultramon is my best friend.
They're different resolutions (1920x1080 and 1280x1024), so it looks a little wonky as a single image.
Since no one guessed it, the previous wallpaper was of Shirakawa-gō, a village in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The village modeled after it was Hinamizawa, from Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Like I said, not even the same continent.
