Eight random things about mbhunter

July 10th, 2007 | by mbhunter |

I almost missed getting tagged for this one by FCN.  I accidentally marked all of the new posts in Bloglines as read — for all 70+ feeds I check out regularly! — while I was on FCN.  I refreshed Nickel’s feed because I didn’t want to miss all of the interesting posts he had written recently, and lo and behold, in one fell swoop, he tagged me for the meme, he insinuated that I’m a less than regular reader of his blog, and he called me names.  Some thanks for sending his blog a decent amount of traffic during the past four weeks.

So, despite this backhanded tag, here are eight random things about myself:

• I have a beautiful wife of over five years, and a darling two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
• I’ve played piano and trumpet since I was eight years old.
• I have a degree in Physics but I pretend to be a computer programmer.  No one at work has found out yet.
• My right foot is two sizes smaller than my left.  I’ve had three operations on my right foot.
• I drink lots of coffee.  I have a picture of my coffee mug on my coffee mug.  (Well, not really.  But wouldn’t that be cool?)
• I enjoy playing pool, air hockey, and horseshoes.  But not all at the same time.
• I brewed my own beer once and it tasted like really bad hard cider.
• I’ve met Nickel in person and found him to be full of great ideas and more than willing to share what he knows about running a successful blog.

If you’re reading this, and you maintain a blog, and you haven’t written a post describing eight random facts about yourself, consider yourself tagged!
