My current background is of me and my uncle standing in front of a green "Kandahar 1 [km]" sign in Saskatchewan. We thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately I'm not going to put it up on account of it being a picture of me.

My tablet's wallpaper is this image. It was made from the wallpaper of an M:tG card, Pristine Angel, with a bit of work and trial/error reframing the image.
Because it is a tablet, I frequently switch between viewing the screen horizontally (1024x768) and vertically (768x1024). When I do so, the desktop centers the image and takes either the column or row of the image not clipped by the edge of the screen. It looks like this when horizontal and this when vertical. I'll post my desktop and living room PC when I get home.
My favorite picture of mine ever, it's just a shame the disposable I had to use (no way to charge my camera battery in the middle of Spoiler
Wyoming
) Didn't have a higher resolution.
A cookie to the person who guesses the park it was taken in.

After using a sexy but very NSFW background for ages I've reverted back to the epic nukage from nukeitfromorbit.com today, because it looks good stretched to 16:10, too.

Oh come on, you don't look that bad. I'll post it since you're too much of a pussy.

What is it with grotesquely fat underwear-clad men and Compaqs? They seem drawn to them somehow.

I feel kinda insecure now because I'm a little overweight right now, and I have a Compaq. Tell me that isn't my future!

I was using this until recently, can't remember where I picked it up. Heavy Metal most likely.
And starting from today, in honour of reading The Caine Mutiny.
Edit: for some reason it chopped off the clock and the speedfan number, QQ

QQ?
Also, what are you using to get the stats on the desktop? I used to use Samurize but that got discontinued and I got lazy.

QQ is a term which means, ah, crying/whining :P
I use rainmeter (found here at google code), with the Simplicity skin (here). I had to edit the HDD readout a bit because mine are oddly lettered (E and F) - otherwise you should be fine. Besides, it's just editing a notepad file.
