I live in a pretty cool place. So usually, it&#x27;s a picture of my dog looking out over one of our local mountains:<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misteralpenglow/4901704088/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;misteralpenglow&#x2F;4901704088&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misteralpenglow/4682694730/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;misteralpenglow&#x2F;4682694730&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misteralpenglow/4679036325/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;misteralpenglow&#x2F;4679036325&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misteralpenglow/3700860792/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;misteralpenglow&#x2F;3700860792&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misteralpenglow/3620966113/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flickr.com&#x2F;photos&#x2F;misteralpenglow&#x2F;3620966113&#x2F;</a>

Nothing. I virtually never see my desktop, so I don&#x27;t bother decorating it.<p>I don&#x27;t care what my computer looks like, only what&#x27;s in the windows and consoles. All I want is windows, a task bar and a few gadgets in the tray.

For the last three months I&#x27;ve been rocking this:<p><a href="http://imgur.com/3c71uIw" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;3c71uIw</a><p>It&#x27;s a rendering from the Audi website of the car I ordered three months ago. I finally got the car on Friday, so I should probably change the wallpaper now :)

I have a folder of wallpapers. They vary between nature scenes, family photos, and videogame wallpapers.

No wallpaper - just black background. I prefer to minimize distractions.
