Show Me Your Desktop, Scott Adams
To some the name Scott Adams might not ring a bell. I’ll give you a few hints, BOCTAOE, YSLE, Moist Robots and
Elbonian. Did that ring a bell? The ultimate giveaway is of course - Dilbert.
Yes, THE Scott Adams is the first one to be featured in the relaunch of Show Me Your Desktop, season 2.
I’ve been a great fan of Scott’s blog for a long time. The post varies from the very philosophical topics to general nonsense. Some of his posts about Intelligent Design might be a bit too advanced for me.
Scott is probably also the most robbed man in the world. It was also through his blog I learned about Stephan Pastis’ brilliant comic Pearls Before Swine. I usually buy the Dilbert Day-to-Day Calendar, but this year I managed to find the Pearls Before Swine Day-to-Day Calendar, so please forgive me Scott. To compensate I get the Dilbert comic in my email every day.
Now let’s move on with the interview. To the new readers welcome to season 2 of Show Me Your Desktop, where I every Sunday ask a blogger to tell us a bit about his or her computer desktop and give a few tips. The interview usually also features a screen shot of her or his desktop.
What is your background picture?
Just a plain color. Sort of greenish blue.
Why did you chose that picture?
I like the background to be non-distracting.
If you have a personal and a work computer, which program do you use the most on your personal computer?
At home, I generally only use the Internet, using IE.
Which program do you use the most on your work computer?
And as usual to read the rest of the interview go to The Beta News. If you can guess Scott’s favourite program. I owe you a beer. I know you can’t guess it!
So who else can you expect in this season of Show Me Your Desktop? Well in no particular order I’ve got interviews from Guy Kawasaki, Jeremy Schoemaker (Shoemoney), Larissa Meek (artist, Miss USA finalist and reality TV star), Sarah Meyers (Founder and host of POP Snap) , Fake Steve Jobs, Duncan Riley (TechCrunch, Blogging Evangelist and B5 Media co-founder), Lisa Brewster (Sophistechate, Schwag-model and Web 2.0 entrepeneur) and Amber Mac (She does too many things to list here) just to name a few. So as you can see this is going to be a REALLY interesting season!
Do you have any interview suggestions? Then please let me know.
Instead of showing you a picture of Scott’s desktop, I’ll show you the latest Dilbert widget. It comes in different sizes and fit onto every platform. The Dilbert Widget is free.

I love Dilbert. I’ve checked out Scott’s blog from time to time, it’s pretty good. The Dilbert Widget is pretty neat!
Comment by Mark from Bloglyne on 28 January 2008:
Cool widget… I think I will try to figure out how to do that for my Friday fun this week…

Dilbert’s pretty neat, for being both a moodlifter- and incisive look at the rigors and inanity of office life
