Usually the more creative wallpaper is what gets me going, but for some reason this vanilla version of a hardwood flood with lights is very appealing to me. Well, the fact that I didn’t need Home Depot to get it laid down across my desktop is a green checkmark in the win column.
If your looking for a simple work space, this wallpaper selection should do the trick for you. Check it out over at DeviantArt, where you can also pick up the 1680×1050 and 2560×1600 versions.

Due to the popularity of last weekend’s wallpaper remix, I figured I might try to make this a regular weekend task. Now we have all grown tired of the “bliss” wallpaper that was made famous with Windows XP - so here are a few similar (but better) wallpapers to decorate your desktops with.
Just click the wallpaper you want to go visit the download page for it:



Got a theme idea for next weekend’s wallpaper roundup?

Seeking out some new desktop decorations, I ran across a couple of crazy plumbers on the Web. Perhaps one would be good for the laptop while the other on the desktop PC? Here are a couple of awesome Super Mario Bros wallpapers…
Found both of these via Deviant Art:
But if they are on your desktop, then who will save the Mushroom Kingdom?

Figuring out how to stretch my desktop wallpaper from one monitor all the way across to the next was one of those tasks I felt stupider about after words, because it is so simple. The secret to it all is to find a really long and large wallpaper and then set it to “tile” in your wallpaper preferences.
I can’t tell you how long I searched to figure that one out, so consider it a freebie from me to you. Now that I have one 22 inch (widescreen) monitor and one 19 inch monitor side by side I had to find some cool wallpaper to tickly my desktop fancy.
DeviantArt saves my day yet again! They have a slew of widescreen wallpapers to pick from, and here are a few of my favorites.

Know of any other resources that have really wide wallpaper? They seem to be few and far between but they are out there.

So far I have been so happy with my new Samsung 226BW 22-Inch Digital/Analog Widescreen LCD Monitor. Look at it - it is just so darn pretty I could cry!
I had to get rid of my old monitor - not because it wore out but because I needed a bigger work space on my desktop and the back stand for the old one just didn’t work the way it should anymore. It is kind of hard to put into words - but I had to stick a hacky sack behind the monitor so that the monitor’s face wouldn’t tilt down so low I had to sit on the floor to use it and type.
I had heard a few bad reviews about this same model after I bought it so I am happy to hear I apparently got one of the good ones. Best thing about the deal was at Amazon - the price after rebate was only $254.97. Now that is a bargain! With this being my second Samsung, I have to say they have done well by my standards yet again.
