As you may or may not know, Smashing Magazine is a wonderful resource for design, web design, inspiration, freebies, tutorials and more. I decided to give the Monthly Desktop Wallpaper Contest another try this month. They feature around 40 or so each month from around the world, and I am most happy to say that my submission was one of the ones chosen for February 2010.
The post featuring my wallpaper and many other feb-tastic wallpapers can be found here.

I also wanted to add that I just finished reading The Smashing Book a couple of weeks ago. It is a very inspiring and well thought out book. There are tons of insights provided by people who are the best of the best in the web design/development field. You hear from people like Veerle Pieters, Chris Coyier, Elliot Jay Stocks, Jon Hicks, Jason Santa Maria, and… you get the idea! I love the fact that Sven Lennartz and Vitaly Friedman took the time to make this book a complete work unto itself. One of the things I dislike about web design books is the endless list of links to "read more", or "get more detail" about what you are reading. I like the fact that I don't have to put The Smashing Book down, and open up a web page to finish the author's thought process. If Smashing Magazine decides to publish another book, I will be sure to make another "smashing" purchase.
