I made up the little present above for those contributing covercasts to my iPod, which you can see above, because they deserve something just for them in exchange for wading into my brain for a spell and the time they lost rubbing their skin raw in the shower afterwards.
Unfortunately, by whipping it up I'd introduced a small rounding error into the weirdness quotient of the last post, and figured I'd clean up the equation by leaving the regular readers something to nibble on too:
I'm pretty sure the weirdness quotient is summing up correctly now, and both full and widescreen versions are included:

So, people have been asking about the desktop picture in the screenshot a few posts ago. It's part of the 'DrunkenBlog Lame-o Gift Pack', which is handed out to someone who donates to the site in some way as a small way of saying thanks. Like what was sent out to the mirrors is just for them, as it being just for them is the only thing giving it whatever small value it has.
However, it's time for The Cow to spread his wings a bit, and I owe my readers in general a lot of thanks. You not only read, you're patient, give feedback, and spread The Werd. Hell, without those dropping typos my way who knows what half my posts would look like.
So please accept my thanks, along with six DrunkenBlog Desktops: five pieces of Cow Candy, and an alcoholic treat.
Wide-screen and full-screen versions are included to match whatever aspect ratio your screen might be, and if this whole Cow business is confusing you you'll probably want to backtrack and see who created it and why.
Feel free to email screen snaps along with the name of your city, as I find it amusing. If you have a digi, actual pictures of The Cow gracing a computer are highly amusing, so feel free to get creative. Major points for anything with a recognizable landmark in the picture to document the spread of The Cow, with mad props for anything from a campus in Cupertino or Redmond.
Just for the record, while I would be amused, I am not telling you to go walking around an Apple Store or Best Buy applying The Cow on desktops like Johnny Appleseed, so don't get yourself into trouble.
Amazing how many days can go by while I'm working on things for the site before I realize I haven't taken the time to actually put anything up. Sorry about that -- just pulled in about 20 directions, all of which converge on typing everywhere but the blog even though it's usually about the blog.
Having to grind things out on a few big things, but the above screenshot is a small sample of the next big chat which should be up this week, assuming the interviewee has a safe flight home. I've seriously abused this poor guy -- the chat is about halfway done, and as you can tell from the slide in the screenshot there's already a hell of a lot of content.
