New Free Geologic Wallpapers

Thursday September 4, 2008
wallpaperClasses have already started for a lot of students. Quick, grab yourself some cool wallpaper images for your laptop before someone notices how lame your default Windoze desktop is. (Professors and T.A.s, you too.) I just happen to have a bunch for you to choose from, in handy 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 sizes. And this just in—the newest batch of wallpapers, the Pebbles and Cobbles portfolio, features some images at 1600x1200 to serve the growing minority of people with that screen size.

These wallpapers are also good background images for presentations. You may make free use of them for desktops and presentations; any other uses fall under my fair use guidelines. I've seen them used in scientific posters at meetings, so I know they're good.

I am trying to find mapping and cross section maps of New York geology that are printable,readable. Larger than thumb size. 81/2 x11. With each layer labeled. It would be nice to even have some standard wall size that could be purchased, even if by regions

Hmmm… maybe I should update the screen-size quiz. That has choices for 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 and 1600×1200. What other sizes are growing in popularity?
