I try to keep myself humble by seeing [this](http://my.inil.com/~edamoth/Images/pparty.jpg) when I turn on my computer. Original source is the wonderfully addictive [Spamusement!](http://spamusement.com/) ---

A [picture](http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=546410011122me.jpg) I took from the corner of Broadway and Ann / Vesey St looking toward Park Row, featuring the Potter Building (the red one on the right) and the Municipal Building (tall white one on the left). ---

I was using a [World of Warcraft](http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/wallpapers/wallpaper5.html) wallpaper, but after reading this thread I decided I needed a new one. [Here](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/sturmhauke/DSC00114.jpg) is a photo I took in Yosemite a couple years ago. ---

I have a few guidelines for my wallpapers: 1. If I use photos, I try to keep them small and centered, so not to confuse myself with the icons. 2. Though, I prefer minimal computer art with few colors, or possible abstract photos with effective patterns. Currently using [this](http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/00651_blackmilkpink_1600x1200.jpg) from interfacelift. ---

At home, I use [this as my wallpaper.](http://bellsouthpwp.net/J/e/JetJaguar/Temp/Milkdrop_001.jpg) It’s a screenshot I took by hitting [print screen] during a Winamp visualization. At work, I have a collection of screenshots I took from the game _Gran Turismo 4_, one snapshot of every car I’ve won a race with. I use them for my screensaver slideshow and the latest pic, which at the moment is [this shot of a TVR Speed 12](http://bellsouthpwp.net/J/e/JetJaguar/Temp/TVR_Cerbera_Speed_12.JPG) , is set as my wallpaper. ---
