I Got Tagged … at a Bar

So I walk into the local wings joint, order up a ten piece and fire up the laptop. What do I find? Derek has tagged me into the “List five things people don’t know about you and then get five more people to do the same” pyramid scheme meme. Five things?

  1. I’m an avid science-fiction/fantasy reader. At last count I had a library of over 3,000 books. What really sucks is moving them.
  2. My first programming job was at the ripe old age of 13. I was taking a computer camp at a local college and was paid by some of the undergrads to code their assignments for them
  3. Forget about Sue, Stacy *IS* a guy’s name damn it! (well some of you already knew that)
  4. I went to school with a girl named, appropriately enough, Stacy Doss. No we didn’t get married so she wouldn’t have to change her name, but I did manage to smuggle a drill team award out of the deal.
  5. I really have no common sense at all. In forth grade I broke my arm several weeks before the spring “Field Day”, an event where all the students participated in various events such as the egg toss, three-legged race, and of course the obstacle course. They tried to persuade me not to compete in the obstacle course but I was dead set on it. Good thing to, since I won by hooking my cast over the “wall”, thus slingshotting me over it and on to victory.

Now that, I think about it, I could have used “Takes laptop to bar to work”, if I hadn’t used it in the title — DOH!!
So now on to the tagging, Lowell, Steve, Rick, MG and why not? 3Monkeys tags Monkey Bite’s Michael Calore.

And to answer that question everyone was wondering, the wings were great.

How did this get to me? Here is the path Derek van Vliet » Chris Finke » C.K. Sample » Jason Calacanis » Amanda Congdon » Michael Ambs » Rick Rey » Steve Woolf » Steve Garfield » Jeff Pulver.
