Show My Desktop

Filed under: Photos — Steve Speirs @ 8:20 pm

A few days ago I was tagged by Absolutely True

and challenged to “Show My Desktop”. Makes a refreshing change from some of the question and answer type tag games, so I figured I’d share what my laptop desktop looks like. Before I created the screenshots, I took the opportunity to tidy things up a bit and delete a few shortcuts and old files – a task that was long overdue to be honest!

I use a freeware application to display random desktop wallpaper, so for this tag I chose 4 of my favorites. Here they are:

  • Wallpaper #1 – Photo of a beach in Grand Cayman where my wife and I vacationed in 2003. So relaxing….
  • Wallpaper #2 – The swim start at Ironman USA in July 2004. I still can’t believe I was able to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles
  • Wallpaper #3 – Cropped photo of The London Eye taken on my recent trip to the UK (Summer 2007)
  • Wallpaper #4 – Wonderful photo of a rowing boat at sunset on a Norwegian fjord, courtesy of talented photographer Thomas Laupstad

Oh, I almost forgot. I need to tag a few other people too. Let me see………..

1. Thomas of http://blog.thomaslaupstad.com
2. Chris of BlogsRecord.com
3. Corey of See Corey Run
4. Claire of A little piece of me

Please post pictures of your desktop on a blog or web site and link back to this post if you don’t mind.

MINI Collage

Ever wanted to create one of those cool photo collages that seem so fashionable at the moment? Many people think you need to be a wizard in Photoshop to create something similar to the collage on the left (click on the thumbnail on the left for a larger image, or “right-click, save as” here to download the full size version). However, all you need is a batch of digital photos and a copy of Google’s great photo organizer, Picasa
