Since I have the attention span of a flea, I find myself needing to change my computer’s background quite a bit. The places I wind up going to most frequently are [www.pasty.com](http://www.pasty.com/cam/2003/wow.html) (lots of very pretty, high resolution Upper Peninsula wallapers) and [Chickenhead.com](http://Chickenhead.com) for its sheer weirdness factor. Anybody got any others they’d like to share? Just curious to see what kind of things you freaks are displaying on your monitors these days. ---

If you go to [Webshots](http://www.webshots.com) they have thousands ov beautiful pictures for free, and they’ll automatically circulate every day, if you want them too. I suggest you take a look! ---

I like [www.skinz.org](http://www.skinz.org) and [www.wincustomize.com](http://www.wincustomize.com) They are tech-savvy sites and have skins and mods for many other programs, but both have huge libraries of wallpapers, with lots of abstract and sci-fi stuff. An no offense **roadkiller** , I’m sure you like it, but I highly recommend _against_ using Webshots. It’s an insidious little program that I have seen crash many many computers. Oftentimes when I go to fix someone’s PC, the first thing that needs to be done is to uninstall Webshots. If you are at work, ask your IT/MIS guy about it and I’m sure he’ll tell you not to use it under any circumstances (It’s unstable, it’s a memory hog, it accesses the internet without your knowledge, etc.) Of course, that’s just the program - if you can go to the site and just download wallpaper, which i’m not sure if you can, then great. ---

If you are an anglophile, like me, [http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/](http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/) offers a monthly wallpaper file, with the month’s calendar down in one corner, with a ‘touristy’ photo of some scenic spot of Britain. ---

No offence to the posters above, but digital blasphemy and renderosity don’t cut it for me. The _technical_ quality of the works primarily found there aren’t up to snuff.
