The latest photography meme is to take a picture of what’s behind your computer monitor and make it your desktop picture. In addition to what a cool effect this is, it’s another example of the power of Flickr, that I could just go there and find a collection of transparent desktop pictures that people have made in the last two days. I recommend the slideshow.

Also of note is that Flickr has added a ‘popular tags in the last day’ and ‘last week’ list, so you can get a sense of what’s going on in the blogging world, and see the photographic evidence. It makes things like today’s Playstation Portable release into a communal event.
