With the blogging starting up again, I had a number of notes for topics. At the top of the list was a response to getting blog tagged by Francis .

For those unfamilair with blog tagging, once you're tagged, you need to reveal 5 things about yourself that people might not know.

(5) I have 3 Xbox 360s.

(4) Some people write or code to music, I write to the TV show 'Law and Order'. Between the CardSpace book and chapters for the WCF book (and thanks to 4 dvrs), I've seen almost every episode of Law and Order, Law and Order:Criminal Intent, and Law and Order:SVU.

(3) I'm one of 400 people in the world who have a real Pong clock.

(2)  I have what looks like the  'Fight Club' scar on my left hand. I got it during my first 2 weeks at Microsoft.

(1) My full-time career in software (vs. writer) came about after spending a finals week at Wellesley College. (ask me over a beer, and I'll tell you the details)
