Ever since I’ve used computers back in the Mesozoic Win3.1 era, I’ve always been fond of wallpapers. I remember back in the day it used to require a lot of hackage to customize a computer GUI. These days it’s almost a 2-second affair. One of the first things I do when I get any new personal computer is to create a wallpaper or find one online that I’d be comfortable staring at all day long. I mean, come on, it sucks enough having to stare at a computer screen all day…why not find something that’ll get you inspired at the same time too right?

I’m really picky about them too. I usually want one that is native to the resolution of my computer so it’s not all grainy looking or distorted, and I typically want one that won’t compete with the icons I might have on my desktop. Nothing worse than a desktop graphic that ends up making all your icons blend in like chameleons.

Anyway, like a good restaurant, when I want to find them, no wallpaper site comes to mind. That’s why I was grateful to find LifeHacker making a good list of the Five best Wallpaper sites
