The Desktop Challenge

Posted on 11/16/2008 by Jim

In one of those ‘I wonder what…’ moments we all have from time to time I wondered this eve what folk have as their desktop background.  So let’s see.  Bibliobloggers one and all, take a screenshot of your desktop (if it’s not filthy), post it on your blog, and drop me a note in comments when you’ve so done so I, and others, can take a look.  Mine, you’ll not be surprised to learn, changes fairly regularly.  This one at present is of beautiful downtown Chester, UK (taken at last year’s SOTS meeting).  So what’s on your desktop?  Kittens (you depraved reprobates) or puppies (a little better than kittens but not much) or your room or workspace or what?

Make your confession.

I always have as recent a good picture of my boys that I can find – especially when they sat still for a moment for the snap-shot. Alex is 3 on the left and Evan is 1 on the right. Evan is a little blurry, but it’s about as good as we can ever do it seems. [...]

    If this is open to rank amateurs, Jim, here’s my offering. I say this because I happen to have secret knowledge that you have already received a ping from my humble home-away-from-physical-reality, and I might as well come clean. That, and blah-blah respect, blah-blah honored, yadda-yadda-yadda comment.
