[This is an evergreen topic, but I don't think we've had it in this version of the Swamp. I will allow that the 'search' function might be failing me again.]

What's your current desktop background, frogs?

I rotate my desktop pretty regularly. To the surprise of nobody, I usually use sad anime girls or football players from the 1980s. But since this is the NHL's opening week, I'm currently rocking this.

I rotate them. The two most recent are my dog and TBL.

This guy, who has cost me $3,000 in vet bills this month (kidney stones > emergency urethra blockage x2 > bladder surgery > medication). Turns out cats do NOT like being forced to swallow pills.

Work desktop is my swamp avatar.

I used to regularly switch mine up but stopped a few years back. Now I just have a theme of city skylines that rotates every half hour or so.

My current work laptop just has the default Windows 10 desktop. Kinda orange and yellow shapes.

My phone background and lock screens are two pics of my boys.

A black and white picture of lightning strikes that elicits a compliment on my photography skills about once a year.

It was one of the generic photo choices pre-installed on the computer.

Can we upload pictures from our computers now, or do we have to put them on Photobucket or something and then link?

Because my photobucket login stopped working months ago.

Just use imgur. No need to login, just upload and copy the URL here.

I've never used imgur before. Couldn't be easier.

Steve of phpBB · Post by **Steve of phpBB** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 4:20 pm

I just had two big monitors installed at my desk, so I have both of these pictures at full size.

howard · Post by **howard** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 4:24 pm

I just had the thought, 'what does a lawyer need with two big monitors', then before the thought completed, thought, 'of course he needs two monitors.' Review documents while writing a document.

(or gaze upon Kris Bryant's butt while writing a document.)

Duh. Looking at trees and looking at Bryant's ass while listening to a ballgame.

A rotating set of photos, mostly of family. Brings a smile to my face. Sometimes I talk to the photos.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:35 pm

I change it probably once a week. Family shots, some car shots my son took, holiday pictures like this one from our most recent trip.

Steve of phpBB · Post by **Steve of phpBB** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:50 pm

Pruitt, where is that?

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:00 pm

That's taken from the balcony of a hotel in Riviere du Loup which is in eastern Quebec. That's the St. Lawrence River - it's about 15-20 miles across at that point.

Kitschy old hotel, but the sunset was spectacular. My wife daughter and I stayed there on our trip back from Nova Scotia this summer.

Ha! I wish.

I have done a big scavenger hunt for the last few years and the items are submitted as videos or still images, depending upon what is requested. This was for "Death's Funeral". Death is on the pyre, Pestilence, War, and Famine are in attendance. The submitted photo was taken with the pyre blazing, but this one is the random photo on my desktop at the moment.

I started this thread with a hockey-themed desktop. But the Penguins and Oilers are each now 0-3, so eff hockey. I would rather look at Kumamon.

Work is a picture of my car.

Home is a picture my wife took during our honeymoon in St Lucia, sun streaking across the ocean towards a cliff face with villas on top.

I can only assume because pictures of your wife at work need to be of her clothed? Boom!

I just go through the Windows themes and look for a nice landscape picture that's season-appropriate. Here's my current one:

Those of you who posted square pictures--please don't tell me you're one of those awful people who stretches it against its natural proportions, or worse, sets it to Tiled.

Technically, it is supposed to be some bullshit propaganda picture about our corporate strategy. But, fuck that noise.
