One of my favorite startup companies is in need of help. Zooomr is a great photo sharing site much like Flickr or Photobucket. However, during a recent upgrade, they ran into major issues. Now they are in dire need of new database machines to get everything back online.

One can donate via the Zooomr homepage. Any amount is accepted. If you work for, or know someone at, a large company maybe you could see this as an opportunity to fund the startup or donate some hardware.

It’s almost Christmas and as it inches near, getting a nice Christmas background for your computer will help spice up your desktop a bit. If you need help finding them, checkout Flickr, Photobucket and other photo sharing sites.

Search terms should include

• Christmas Background
• Christmas Desktop
• Christmas Wallpaper
• Holiday Background
• Holiday Desktop
• Holiday Wallpaper

You can also interchange Christmas with Santa, snow, snowflake, snowman, reindeer, Christmas tree, Christmas lights or your favorite holiday item.

The hardest part is finding a wallpaper that meets your size requirements and/or weeding out those that actually have a desktop snapshot that includes all the files and menubar.
