The Desktop Meme - Lemme See Your Desktop!

New! Audio Commentary!

I was triple tagged! Yep, this week I was tagged by Mike, Bobby and Mark for the Desktop Meme - a cool, little meme where you show what your computer desktop looks like.

So here's mine. The background is a photo of the Orion Nebula, which pretty much keeps me intrigued and inspired at all times. How could it not? I mean, just look at it!


I totally love this photo - so much in fact that I actually coded it into my MySpace layout. Heck, if I could have it tattooed on the insides of my eyelids, I'd probably do that too! :P

[TAG STARTS HERE]

My Desktop Free View Instructions:

A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

You can do a screen capture by: [1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located to the right of the F12 key). [2] Opening a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). [3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.

For MAC users: Press [ Apple] [ Ctrl ] [ Shift ] and [ 3 ].

B. Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation about the look of your desktop just below it if you like - why you prefer such a look, etc.

C. Tag five other bloggers and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.

  2. Thanks Mark! The sound file is up and running now. I had rerecorded it, but didn't get the link updated in time due to a brief power outage we had here only a short bit ago.

    Anyway, all is fine now. :)

    Shine on,
    Aaron

  3. I have over 20,000 wallpapers but I got burned out on changing them a few years ago!

    Your desktop looks all nice & clean. Mine is a real mess, LOL:)

  4. LOL. I never bothered with wallpapers, etc. I just find an image I really enjoy and that's pretty much it.

    I've had this one of the Orion Nebula for more than three years so far and have yet to grow tired of it. Probably never will. :)

  12. Thanks for the tag, Aaron. I must be the world's greatest moron because I can't seem to "capture" my screen even following your very basic and plain instructions. Maybe you can tag me with another meme some other time. Thanks for the love....

  13. hi aaron. thanks for taking the time to do the tag. i do hope you enjoyed it.

  14. @Stealth: Sure will buddy. But if you want to give it one more shot, here's the easiest way...

    Just hit the print screen button on your keyboard. (It's to the right of the F12 button. Mine is labeled prt scr).) Then, open up Microsoft Paint...click the Edit button...and select Paste. Then just save the file in your pictures folder and you're all set. :)

    @iRonnie: You're welcome iRonnie. Yes, I did enjoy it! It was a cool tag. I liked it because it was different and let us get a look at what some of our fellow bloggers see while they're sitting at their computers and getting ready to blog.

    Oh, and thanks for the mention! I definitely appreciate it. :)

  15. I like the audio commentary. Lol.

    The colors in that image are amazing. I've always liked anything to do with space (and the ocean).

    Lots of icons. Are you a busy bee frequently?

  16. Hi Erina. Yes, I'm definitely a busy bee on the computer. I'm lucky if I have less then 10 tabs open at one time.

    And yes, those colors are amazing. It's one of my favorite photos. It's just so darn awe inspiring.

    Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave some great comments! :)

  20. Hi Jesse! Can't wait to see your post on it! Oh, and try not to do any desktop cleaning/reorganizing. The idea is to share what it looks like right now...

    "A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun."

    Hope you get the ISP problems fixed. ISP proglems are a major pain in the patootie! :P
