Tag, I'm it

Published Mon, Jan 15 2007 18:14 | William

It's about time. Ryan Olshan  tagged me.

Here's 5 things you may not know about me.

1) Sahil originally tagged me but took his post down.

2) I was a Philosophy major in undergrad. I went to grad school and got my MBA with a concentration in Applied Statistics. Being an avid reader, I've read just about every major piece of work in philosophy that there is.  I also have a fascination with economics and the work of Milton Freidman and Freidrich Hayek in particular.  I've read everything from W. Edwards Deming that I could read too.

3) Before I got into programming, my main goal in life was to be Tax Accountant focusing on international tax law.

4) I didn't get into programming until relatively late compared to most people, I started when I was 27.

5) I have one of the worst cases of Obsessive Compulsive disorder of anyone I know. I roll paper balls constantly, have to have a diet coke at all times and many more. I absolutely can't sit still.  In my home, I have to have the radio on at all times or I get really really anxious.  If I have to sit anywhere (like a plane, restaurant etc) I start getting really anxious and nervous if I don't have something to read.

I don't like plains as well; folding space-time to travel large distances at high speed takes its toll on a man. Restaurants I can handle.

BTW. This meme requires you to tag five new people, doesn't it?

Nevermind, I wasn't trying to pimp my way back into your attention...
