Marconius: One-eyed Wonder Mod; +368|6690|San Francisco

I just make my desktop backgrounds in After Effects or Maya, though I currently have an Avenue Q desktop picture on my production machine at home.

Here's a link to it

I really prefer dark backgrounds. If you have a white background or anything above 50% grey, it's just like you are staring into a lightbulb all day when you are at your machine (especially when I have this Apple 24" Cinema Display here at work)...

tF-voodoochild: Pew Pew!; +216|6843|San Francisco

Like Marconius I typically make my own, like this.

Currently though I have A Scanner Darkly themed desktop edited to fit on two monitors.

I used to have this one:

Jon Toogood's blood-flecked Telecaster.
But yeah. Marco's right, a white desktop background isn't great.

I copied (how original of me) from a kick ass kill bill one I saw and decided to do it with Star Wars. I will probably do at least 10 - 20 of these and just put the desktop on rotation. My kids love em.

This pic got widespread e-mail circulation purporting to be a pic of the 2003 hurricane Isabel front taken off the coast of Florida. It's actually a pic of remnants of a tropical cyclone in the pacific. You can read more about it here.
