Ok, I’ll play the game since Tim took the time to tag me.. even though as I remind folks, this is not a blog..it only looks like one!

1. What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why?

I’m geeky like Tim, but at least I don’t think about firmware as being something “fun”. So, I’ll do a little better and say that the era of my career where I got to do a skunkworks project and port Java (the Virtual Machine) to Linux from another OS was probably the most fun I’ve had in my career. It was a task assigned to me and one other employee, and making it all work in a matter of weeks with no external pressures or deadlines or even status reports was a blast! And surprising Sun at their own game at JavaOne that year was fun as icing on the cake as well =)

2A. Name one thing you did in the past that you no longer do but wish you did?

Play basketball (almost) every day of the week!

2B. Name one thing you’ve always wanted to do but keep putting off.

Take the family on an overseas assignment for awhile. I think we have to stop having kids for that to happen someday.

3A. What two things would you most like to learn or be better at, and why?

(a) Bass Guitar– I play now but I would love to be better at it; and I am actually working on it slowly

(b) Cooking! — I’ll steal from Tim since I’ve taken his point-of-view already and spend a reasonable amount of time cooking and enjoy it tremendously. But, it would be really fun to take it to the next level (open a restaurant?)

3B. If you could take a class/workshop/apprentice from anyone in the world living or dead, who would it be and what would you hope to learn?

Related to above, I’d love to work personally with Norm Stockton on bass..of course, with his 4 DVD instructional course on my shelf, it’s almost as good. However, he’s an amazing bass guitarist and I’m sure taking personal lessons would be way more exciting than watching the DVD course.

4A. What three words might your best friends or family use to describe you?

talented, jokester, compassionate (submitted by a close family member) =)

4B. Now list two more words you wish described you.

financially independent? (just kidding–please don’t send me home business offers!)

5. What are your top three passions?

Passions sound really important..I’ll skip all the ones that are hard to quantify and are way up there at the top (family, church, God, etc.) and go with some easy fun ones: music, college basketball, computer/software tech.

6. Write, and answer, one more question that YOU would ask someone.

Q. Who came up with this crazy idea? And are they cataloging it somewhere for future blogger investigations!?

A. I have no idea.

There, I’m done. I now tag Kevin and Jen
