This is another one of those "it matters only to me" type of blog entries, but here goes it anyway. For as long as I've had a computer since 1994, I've had a background image. They change over the years but rarely, and I thought maybe it would be a somewhat interesting topic. My current one is a field of green leaf clovers, it's not perfect since I had to mess with it for the higher resolution, but I think looks really nice:

Usually on March 1st I'll break out the clovers. Then when late Spring / early Summer starts, I break out the hail pic:



I like the frosty glass look. Then when it's the dead middle of the Summer, I'll want Autumn, which has this nice foliage from some place in the Northeast of cooler & pleasant weather:



And then when it's cold, I break out this (yeah I'm Schizophrenic, I know):



This old desktop image invokes memories of long hours spent at Napster in the early 00's:



This one was of College earlier:


And this was either a Windows 95 or 98 product, which I altered to make it more greenish:


And that's pretty much my history, give or take some tiled Windows graphics or some local homemade sports logo tiled graphic. One of the first? I don't have it anymore, it was the logo graphics to the Front Page Sports Baseball '94 PC game. I remember that game had some serious simulation issues, Barry Bonds would hit like 120 home runs in a year. Given people tend to rotate desktop images on a weekly basis, I tend to be an old shoe stuck in the mud kind of habit. Mmmm, stuck.
