So Mike at FPSRantings.com tagged me for a meme. Normally I ignore memes. But, since he’s my boss, I don’t think that ignoring him would make for very good office politics.
Mike’s theory is that by looking at someone’s desktop, you can tell something about their personality and interests. Maybe he’s right.
I’m interested in my kid and I always busy so I guess you could figure that out by my desktop.
Honestly though, Mike, I think you’re reaching just a bit. ;)
Now I have to tag seven people.
Darren @ Problogger
Spencer @ Siliconera
Patrick @ Playgadgets
Chris Kohler @ Wired
Karen @ Karen Sugarpants
Yahtzee @ Fully Ramblomatic [Yeah right]
Doodaddy @ Doodaddy
If just one of you participate, I’ll consider this a success.

I’m not referring to Winzip or Winrar being on the desktop. I’m referring to Amy’s archive files, which use the default Windows icon for archive files.
If Winzip or Winrar is installed in the system, then the icon should look differently.

And Mike, she might have winzip back there — I try never let silly programs like that sit in my task bar. Although it’s a losing battle these days.
Dd.
P.S. I was really flattered — I didn’t know you were a reader!

And I listen to NPR while I work. :)
I’m actually a big ole tech geek and I have winzip. :)
But, I guess you might be onto something here.
Reaching? I don’t think so. I look at your desktop, this is what I see:
Your desktop’s setup is different. I observed that your Start Menu is placed at the top of the screen. As we all know, the default placement is at the bottom of the screen.
You changed its position to customize it to your liking. I guess it shows that you try to think out-of-the-box.
You placed a child’s photo on the desktop (it’s Cara!). If I didn’t know you, I’d say the kid is your daughter. Much of your attention is focused on her. In some strange way, I did theorize that Cara would be your desktop photo.
You’re probably not big on the technical maintenance side of your PC either, but you’re knowledgeable enough to fool around with Windows.
If my eyesight is correct, you have a Motorola gadget. You also don’t have Winzip or WinRAR, so you resort to Windows when extracting files. You also listen to music while working.
Not bad for reaching.
