Have You Ever Put Your Own Pic on Your Computer Desktop?
At right is an image from this month's Harper's Bazaar featuring Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi. Beautiful home, beautiful woman, and she appears to know it: She has a portrait of herself above her bed, and to my surprise, a rather glam digital portrait of herself on her computer's desktop, seen here.
I have put photos of myself and other people on my desktop, but I don't think I would like to see a picture of myself gazing sexily at me when I'm using my computer.
Geek Gear Round Up: Your Computers
Last week I asked you readers to share your computer make and model and let me know what you love or hate about it by bookmarking it on TeamSugar. To my surprise, the results were incredibly varied, but it seems most of you use laptops. From the Dell XPS Notebook, Apple MacBook, HP Compaq nx7300 Notebook PC, to the Dell Latitude D620, geeksugar readers seem to run the gamut of computer brands, models and makes.
Geek Out: Share Your Computer Make/Model
Word on the street is two out of five Japanese women regularly have conversations with their computers, while 10.2 percent of women gave their computer a nickname, such as "Mac-kun," "Pasoko," "Pudding" or my personal favorite, "Princess." If you have a similar relationship with your computer, I'm guessing you want everyone in the world to know all about it. Its quirks, its personality traits, and on occasion, its bad manners.

Forbidden Fruit: TV Shows That Hide Macs
While some shows get full on Apple support, other shows either don't or don't choose to. What's interesting is that instead of just using another brand (without such a distinguishing logo) as props, the shows will just use Macs and cover up the logos. The easiest way?
Top WTF Moments From Gossip Girl Episode "The Lost Boy"
Are we back on the horse now? After a couple of OK episodes of Gossip Girl, this week's "The Lost Boy" really felt like the show I know and love. Everyone's playing everyone else, everyone's lying to everyone else, mysteries solve and then re-form .
Marimekko Wallpapers Are Finn-tastic
I'm an unabashed Marimekko freak — I flipped over these mouse pads, because I love integrating my favorite designs into my digital life, and I see that they enjoy doing it too, because they've made desktop wallpapers in some of Marimekko's classic prints.
I'm typing to you directly from the Kaiku wallpaper, a personal fave, and I have my eye on a few other Finnish beauts that'll make their way to my background in due time as well.
Oh, technology: democratizing design, one desktop at a time.
Computer Monitor Flower Holders: Love It or Leave It?
When you sit and stare at a computer all day, you get to appreciate having visual stimulation at your workspace, be it cleanliness and organization, or cute desk accessories that personalize your space. I can't get enough of brightly-colored mouse pads, pen cups, and laptop covers, so I immediately adored this Posy Cozy. Etsy seller Darlenestuff has a whole series, each only $15, so you can pick out a color that goes with your space.
