Desktop Eye-candy

For a long time now I’ve been obsessed with my computer desktop and whether or not it helps me work efficiently. I find desktop eye-candy fascinating yet in the end it always seems to get in my way or distract me from doing serious work.

In the spirit of my obsession, I thought it would be fun if everyone posted a screenshot of what their desktop looks like. Since the purpose of this idea is to see what everyone’s work environment looks like, it is only fair that you post a screenshot of your everyday desktop not one beefed to the max with eye-candy. Also, if you have an unusual setup or don’t check the site often, please include a description of what environment/programs you use.

Not wanting to hassle with pulling over and having to go through the trouble with making a phone call, I continued down the road. But something was telling me that the phone call I got earlier was not a typical phone call and that something wasn’t right. I pulled into Martins parking lot and called Gavin back. He told me in a shaky voice “I’m at Goshen Hospital, It’s Brian”.
