Tagging of a Different Sort
If you're new here, please subscribe to my RSS feed. And follow me on twitter. Thanks for visiting!
Just got blog-tagged, not once but twice in a 30 minute span. I think one of them got tagged by the other first, so I don’t think it’s legit, but I’m not telling.
I was wondering earlier today if this would make it over to me. I figure it’s inevitable, if I started seeing it on the blogs I read, it’s coming my way. I was hoping it would be quick before all the potential tagees are used up.
According to the “rules” I have to share 5 things about myself that not many people know about…and then “tag” 5 people who must do the same.
1. My first job was doing technical support and training for Dragon Systems, one of the first large vocabulary voice recognition / dictation systems. At the time it ran on DOS and cost about $10,000. I’d go and train the new users on-site. Most memorable thing was that I went to the Pentagon to train a woman at the State Department. Not high security clearance or anything, but damn cool. Fortunately I hired a full-time trainer before the woman with 50 cats in a trailer-home purchased the software.
2. I got married on the same day I got my first (and only) hole-in-one. Oh wait. It’s the other way around. The 159-yard sixth hole at Okemo Valley Golf Club in Vermont. 7 iron. 4 of my best friends were the group ahead of us, standing on the green. Fortunately, we were buying drinks for everybody later anyway.
3. I can juggle (easy), spin a basketball on my finger (not so easy), and ride a wheel-chair in a wheelie. The latter is a long story.
4. I was born in Boston and lived here my whole life, but don’t have an accent. Unless I’m drunk. Then I sound like a Kennedy family reunion (except nobody gets hurt). I actually have this annoying (hopefully only to myself) tendency to quickly pick up the accent of place I’m visiting, or even the person I’m talking to.
5. I have an obsessive personality, which usually manifests itself in hobbies and video games. I’ve been known to stay up all night playing a new video game. Right now, I’m teaching myself piano. I’ve been practicing chords playing the universally recognizable intro from Jump by Van Halen.
And now to spread the love. Let’s see, I hope these people haven’t already been tagged… Jeremy Palmer, Jennifer Slegg , Lisa Picarille, and sending it back across the pond, Fraser Edwards and Paul Wright.

Yep, it was me that was guilty of second tagging you - didn’t see that Sam had already done it.
But you’re guilty, too, with your Lisa Picarille tag (I tagged her first).
I know! I noticed that affterwards and thought, damn, Shawn’s going to call me on that.
I decided it was a good thing. that’s two links.
This thing needs to be slowed down anyway.
[...] I was tagged by Jeremy Palmer, who was tagged by Scott Jangro, who was tagged by Shawn Collins, and so on and so forth. [...]
[...] I was forced to post because I was “blog tagged”. The idea is if you get tagged you have to write 5 things that others don’t know about you then tag 5 others. I was tagged by Jeremy Palmer, who was tagged by Scott Jangro, who was tagged by Shawn Collins. I don’t know where it started. But I supose this will get some press and will be interesting to be a part of.

[...] Doing the rounds at the moment is a bout of blog tagging. Scott Jango got me, where it all started is anybody’s guess but here we go. [...]
AM Blog Tag - 5 Things You Dont Know About Linda Buquet…
Blog tag is whipping through the affiliate marketing community. Bloggers have to share five things about themselves that most readers wouldn’t know, and then tag five other bloggers to be “it.”
……
[...] Here are my blog tag predecessors. I was tagged by Linda Buquet who was tagged by Anik Singal who was tagged by Rosalind Gardner, who was tagged by Jeremy Palmer, who was tagged by Scott Jangro. [...]
[...] Apparently there is a game of blog tag going around the internet and it appears I have been hit. Although I’m not sure where it started it appears that Shawn Collins tagged Scott Jangro who tagged Jeremy Palmer who tagged Brad Pace who tagged ME. So, if I understand the rules correctly I must share 5 things most people don’t know about me and then tag 5 other people somewhere out there in the blogosphere. [...]
[...] I’ve been out of the loop for several days now. I had some surgery last Thursday and have been recovering (and frantically wrapping gifts). That’s my excuse for not immediately responding to being blog-tagged by three different people: Shawn Collins, Scott Jangro and Anik Singal. [...]
[...] Anik Singal who was tagged by Rosalind Gardner, who was tagged by Jeremy Palmer, who was tagged by Scott Jangro, who was tagged by Shawn Collins. Filed under Affiliate Program by [...]
The Pentagon? Way cool! I remember the DOS days… those were good days. Ever played Descent??? Great DOS game…
