EarthWallpaper.org script, anyone?
A few days ago, the Kottke blog pointed to earthwallpapers.org. While being a most excellent site, it makes uses of a newer version of flash that doesn't run on my computer.

But as it happens, the flash programming is merely a shiny (and arguably fairly pretty) 'menu' to the various picture at the Flickr tag set for earthwallpapers. Better still, the author uploads daily additions, see today's in 1280x1024 pixels.

Now, I don't really know much about Flickr, but didn't they open some sort of API? Is there a way write a quick Bash, Perl or Python script to have cron download the current picture as a desktop wallpaper?
