I hate the email game where you receive 99 interesting items about a person, from everyone in your address book…
I almost never read them (unless they are some my lovely wife) 
But, I like this idea. Over the past couple of days, I have enjoyed reading people’s blogs telling 5 things I did not know about them.
In most cases, I do not know the people (personally) I read, so it gives a great clue to who they really are. Thanks Shawn Twain Wildermuth and Clemens Vasters for the motivation.
- I was born and raised in Lancaster, SC. My dad purchased our first computer; 486 SX25 with 2 MB of RAM. He let me learn and experiment (Gotta tweak that autoexec.bat and config.sys) on the computer. When it would get to the point that it would not boot anymore, dad would take it to the professionals and let them fix it (and let me watch them do it). Thanks dad for the patience and money spent. It was a memory I will never forget and always cherish. I still enjoy learning things about computers and technology.
- I love to listen to good music. I listen to mostly Christian Rock. My favorite bands are: Project 86, Thousand Foot Krutch, Red, Family Force 5, Flyleaf, and Mat Kearney.
- My first professional speaking engagement was June 13th, 2006 at the Pee Dee Area .NET Users Group. I spoke on T-SQL coding practices and a few performance “food for thoughts.” I was co-founder of the group with buddies Page Brooks and Chris Craft.
- Growing up, I wanted to be an Air Force Fighter Pilot. Then I found out I did not have 20/20 vision, loved to draw, and was good at math; so my desire changed to become an architect. Once dad got me a computer (see above), my desire changed once again. I wanted to do something with computers!!! That something is project planning, database design, and application development.
- I love researching my genealogy. I have collected 50,000+ cousins and relatives in my database. Primary surnames researching: Reeder, Pressley, Baucom, Long, Ferguson, Polk, Whitley, Estridge, Strickland, Allen, and Blackmon.
Now, you have read my five things… So…
Tag goes to: Susanne Reeder, Chris Craft, Page Brooks, Josh Wyse, and Dean Lisenby.
