Fix that Drab Desktop

Psst.

Hey you. Yeah, I got a message for ya from your computer. Your desktop is lookin pretty stale. Lucky for you I've got some cool places for you to spuce your screen.

Desktopography.net

Not sure the purpose of this place, but in essence its some of the best desktop art one could hope to find. My only complaint is that in the end, the site design is not older comp friendly, being heavy flash. Yeah, its artistic and all but when it comes down to raw web design, there are other ways to replicate what they did with CSS with limited success. All of that aside, it has previous years and what not to download and enjoy.




Wikipedia - Featured Picture Archive

Wouldn't think of a free online encyclopedia to be a romping ground of great images but fortunately there are a listing of people who scour Wikipedia for great images and nominate them for the pic of the day. To be pic of the day, its stipulated that it has to be desktop sized, making life easy from the start.







[Adult Swim] Downloads

When filtered by background and some searching comes across all of [adult swim]'s bumps they put for their action shows. Its really cool of them cause there are some crazy ideas for backgrounds. I have the Fujiyama pic up now and since they have all sorts of file sizes and what not, its not hard to find a good fit for your computer.
