I don’t know about you, but I like to change my desktop background fairly frequently. At the office, I prefer wallpaper with a calendar. At home I like backgrounds that inspire or amuse me. Today’s Question of the Day: Where do you find your desktop backgrounds? Continue reading
Let’s be fair, we’re all here because we have similar online reading habits. This is a diverse group though, we come from all over the world, with all kinds of tastes, and we read a lot of stuff all over this here Internet.
