My boss looked at my pc's wallpaper and surprised that it wasn't car related. (currently just bamboo trees) I rarely put car wallpapers. Even on my personal pc or my phone.

Is that really that surprising?

Yes, because I didn't think bamboo was a tree. I thought it was closer to a grass.

At work mine is the pic of my car at the trailer just because that is where I would rather be.


At home it is usually a picture of the real thing of what ever the current model I am working on.


I stared at Ultra's aircraft for months while building the kit. I probably know what it looks like better than he does at this point in time.

Haha you’re right. It’s a grass & not a tree. I wonder why I said “tree”? Is that mean, it’s not bamboo forest, but it’s bamboo brush? lol

I try to keep my wallpaper calm and nothing annoying. Cuz at my work, it can get crazy, so at least I don’t want my wallpaper to be crazy

Uh oh. Can't quote because firefox.


I think it's a "grove."

Mine is a solid background color (sort of teal green) because I find photos distracting and they never span well across 3 (at home) or 4 (at work) monitors.

Well at work rarely even see it since I am constantly flashing between programs and at home I want to see it because it is a great way to get a large picture for details work.

I have a picture of the plane I fly landing at St Barth on my computer at my other job. More often I'm remote logged in to it from a laptop in hotel somewhere lol...

Best you cash that state income tax refund check quickly and get out of state - before they audit you and stop you at the border -

On of my monitors is a 55" monitor/whiteboard we got as part of a "deal" from Cisco with a large order for $0 cost. It's supposed to be their equivalent of the Microsoft Surface Hub that used WebEx. You can't actually turn it off, so it's always on in my office. (Other than making an Ok display and being a decent electronic whiteboard, it is basically a piece of junk in terms teleconferencing etc, which is what it was designed for, but I digress)

I sometimes use it for streaming news which is nice in a weather event, or something like the Notre Dame fire yesterday.

What I would really like is an app that I could run on my computer that would show on that monitor and cycle through family photos, etc when I'm not using it but haven't been able to find one that works the way I want.

I just plug in through the back of my neck.
