I am sure everyone will have far more interesting than I, but here is mine anyway: [Wallpaper.](http://image96.webshots.com/196/2/49/79/2535249790098000304fAAOeH_fs.jpg) ---

[Here’s](http://i39.tinypic.com/1zei7nr.jpg) a small version of mine. (Well, it doesn’t all fit on my monitor, obviously so the middle-left portion is my wallpaper.) It’s a photo of Wineglass Bay in Tasmania I took about seven years ago. I also have a giant canvas of the full panoramic picture on my bedroom wall. ---

My current wallpaper is [Fall Drop](http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewsingleimage.html?mode=singleimage&handle=gemini&number=1760&album_id=498&thumbstart=0&gallery=#slideanchor) which I found at [Weather Underground](http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/viewimages.html) last fall. (I need to change mine it appears.) Until then I was rotating wallpapers by way of the free [Second Nature](http://www.secondnaturecd.com/upsam.html) software. Fun topic there, **Cicero**! ---

Here’s my [wallpaper](http://media.avclub.com/images/articles/article/30764/lebowski-728711_jpg_595x325_crop_upscale_q85.jpg) You can tell just by looking at it that Donny is out of his element. ---

[The Littlest Briston](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?dispsize=1024&album=Shayla&pic=Shayla414.JPG&start=390&picindex=414&mode=). Wow…I just realized that pic is a year and a half old already. Man, times flies…might be time for an update. ---

I sometimes have [this](http://icanhascheezburger.com/2009/08/19/funny-pictures-do-ouchy-bleedy/), sometimes have [this](http://z.about.com/d/atheism/1/0/X/z/2/HusbandUterus-e.jpg)- I think it’s funny how he’s looking at her middle like it might jump up and do tricks, and sometimes just random pictures of my man Prince (he’s so hot). ---

On my work monitor I have this (tiled): [http://www.kamaladolphinkingsley.com/fineart/page05/images/03c4\_lrg.html](http://www.kamaladolphinkingsley.com/fineart/page05/images/03c4_lrg.html). I have the original painting hanging above the fireplace at home. On my home laptop I have a picture I took on the first trip my wife and I took together after we’d been dating a few months. It has two of my favorite things: My wife and a beer. But I don’t have a copy online that I can link to. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/show-us-your-monitor-wallpaper/533718.md?page=2)
