The Desktop Experiment

"Work computer. Thats the delivery truck with some of the great imagery we use with our new company, Nika. Its an amazing company with an amazing cause. We are a 100% non-profit bottled water company, donating all of our profits to water crisis and poverty alleviation efforts in Africa, Asia, Mexico and elsewhere. We are also the most eco-friendly bottled water company on the planet and the only bottled water company certified carbon neutral by the Carbon Fund. Its also super tasty! You can find us on Facebook, Twitter and NikaWater.org." JM -San Diego, CA

"Home computer. Thats the Ben Franklin Bridge connecting South Jersey to Philly. The view is from the Philly side right near my buddy's apt. where I spent most of my time on that side of the water. You can also see the edge of the Susquehana Bank Center (Tweeter Center for you old schoolers... E Center for you real way-back kids) in the bottom right corner where many great times were had. I recently moved out to San Diego, so this is the image that most reminds me of where I'm from and who I am-right between those 2 places." JM -San Diego, CA

You are on a computer right now.
It has a desktop.
Share it with the world.

Send in desktops from your computers at home, work, school, etc. Check out the posts in greater detail by clicking on the images. Spread the love by sharing this site and/or stealing someone's desktop and sending it in with an explanation. Humor is always encouraged, but certainly not necessary.

SEND ME A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR DESKTOP WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION AND YOUR LOCATION by following the easy instructions below. If it doesn't work, go here and figure it out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

On a PC:
Minimize everything so that your desktop is showing. Grab a print screen of your desktop by pressing the "print screen" button (it's in the top right of your keyboard). Then open up microsoft paint (programs>accessories>paint). Paste the image in there by simultaneously pressing ctrl and "V". Save it as a bmp. Then send it over to me, thedesktopexperiment@gmail.com. In your email, INCLUDE A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR DESKTOP. Maybe you'd like to explain the background image, give an anecdote, or just include something totally random. Just make sure to say if it's a home, office, work, public, etc computer.

On a Mac:
Minimize everything so that your desktop is showing. Grab a print screen of your desktop by simultaneously pressing "Shift, Command, 3". This will save your desktop as a picture file on your desktop labeled "Picture 1". Attach that to an email and send it to me at thedesktopexperiment@gmail.com.
