Luke Crouch tagged me with the first internet meme of 2009 so hear goes with 7 things u may not know about me:

• In 5th grade I had a small solo singing part in a school play. (I only wanted to get out of class for an afternoon and ended up getting picked)
• In 1998 I legally changed my last name and now carry on my mother’s maiden name.
• In 1997 I was featured in Fast Company magazine in the article Little Hands Teach Big Hands (note: article uses my old last name).
• For two years (‘04-’05) I taught computers at an elementary school in San Jose, California.
• My favorite beer is James Squire Amber Ale, but I haven’t had one in over 3 years (not sold in Oklahoma).
• I was raised as a Christian Scientist.
• I have owned my own business, Shark Media, since I was 17 years old.

I’m calling out/tagging these peeps:

• Steven Osborn – met through TuslaPHP and Tulsa.rb
• Carlos Moreno – A good friend and fellow Californian
• Jen The Great – Carlos’ wife and OSIM mom
• Andrew B. aka CrashDrew – Fellow beer lover and heathen
• Noah Everett – founder of @twitpic
• Amanda Renee – a fellow twit-head and expert on removing bats from houses
• John Hornbeck – A OK.rb member, friend and fisher

Update: I guess the undocumented rules state you can’t tag people who have already been tagged, so I’m down to 5 people.
