Daniela is responsible for this momentary journey into the world of the Livejournal-esque. It is all her fault. I am a pretty close-to-the-surface kind of guy so this isn’t going to be too easy. Let me think of what I haven’t disgorged here already…

1. I worked my way through college.
2. I have been moderating online communities for nearly 20 years (since the pre-Internet days of the dial-up BBS). I’ve been a moderator on The Well for 14 years.
3. My first office job was in developer staffing, making cold calls to engineering managers to generate leads for head hunters. This was a full-time summer job, back when I was 15 years old.
4. I have some very un-American appetites: I can’t stand apple pie or watermelon. (I actually hate all kinds of melon and nearly all kinds of cooked fruit. Also many kinds of fresh fruit. Okay, I hate virtually all fruit except very ripe green apples and bananas.)
5. I acted and sang in high school. I performed in a bunch of plays and choral concerts, and the choir I was in went on a few tours and performed on television in Mexico City.
