What I found out recently is that the secret to great wallpaper was right under my nose this whole time. Google Images!

To find quality wallpapers, you want to search for “[your topic] imagesize:1024×768″ where 1024 is the width of your desktop and 768 is the height. For example, try any of the following queries:

• nature imagesize:1600×1200
• apple imagesize:2560×1600
• cars imagesize:1280×1024
• wallpaper imagesize:1024×768

You get the idea. This way, I’ve been able to find a fresh collection of thousands of wallpapers easily for any size. Have fun and enjoy the redecorating!

I stumbled upon the CIA – World Factbook guide about our world today. It has some very fascinating, and surprising statistics! Here are the highlights…

  • 1988 – 5 billion (14 years)
  • 2000 – 6 billion (12 years)
  • When you parents were born the world had half the people it does now!!
• Median age of earthlings: 27.4 years for men, 28.7 for women.  (I’m getting close!)
