pretty much what it says - pics of or links to your favorite desktop photos (hi-res preferred)

from this link with a bunch of 2010 Dakar photos: (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/01/dakar_rally_2010.html?s_campaign=8315)

this is beyond pucker factor

Damn, That gave me goosebumps

[mastacox]

Amazing picture to be sure, but it's obviously tilted about 30 degrees, making it look a LOT steeper than it really is.

[YotaFun]

Would be cool to do though!

Corax, they showed that section live in the coverage, it isn't as steep as in the pis, but still pretty gnar.

Sean, here's some fun math stuff, take a look into some of the fractal geometry based desktops and screen savers, pretty cool stuff.

Then again there's always the logic for geometry in "natural Beauty"..sorry ladies, had to..

I think that thing is AWESOME!

[corax]

Great minds think alike - it was a toss up between the day shot and the evening shot that you have
[off topic]not exactly good enough for the desktop, but another neat build that went along the same lines is the Superu (http://thesuperu.blogspot.com/)

Keith - if u like that subaru, u should check out offroadsubarus.com :-P

[YotaFun]

That Subaru is pretty sweet actually

[mastacox]

Off road Volvo = ghey :gay:

Sorry Mr. Midlife crisis...

[Obi..]

If you guys are gonna blab about Subbies I'll go a few miles over to the little EVO/Subaru guys shop and start posting some sick shots really quick. :flipoff:

Corax, don't feel bad about the Volvo, I honestly was looking at a XC70 and a 90 last week, and worse, actually thought about 5 minutes about handing over the 4Runner, and then bringing it to said shop and have him pimp it out like he did with his Forester.

How's that strike you for a crisis, luckily the wife put me in my place and said "No, you are not giving that up, I'll never hear the end of it!"

All 3 of those just make me smile, the Shiner Bock one the most. :D

I'm silly and like to run whatever my favorite most recent shot is. This time it's cycling through these.

This is my new background for my laptop.. I saw one of these in person last week and i couldnt stop drooling and i had to pick my jaw up off the floor..

http://p1m.mbike.com/001/000/773/Confederate_Wraith.jpg

Tis a Confederate Wraith, the one i saw was for sale for $85,000. All the black bits are Carbon Fiber, even the wheels are Carbon fiber. The Carbon backbone is also the fully functional gas tank.

[Obi..]

BLING!! My only thing would be it's still "plastic" and I've seen plenty of bike frames and helo blades fail. Still sick though, I should swing by and grab some pics of Arlen's new toys after work sometime since they're right down the street from us.

[Obi..]

I must be off, or just getting old enough that I still prefer my desktop's to be achievable things. That or I'm absolutely arrogant. ;) :D
