This meme has been making its round with techie bloggers– I was tagged by my good friend Ben Scheirman, here are five things you might not have known about me:

  1. I love books and I read tons of them, ALL the way through, cover to cover, including the introduction, preface, afterward, acknowledgments and bibliography.
  2. I got my first computer, a Commodore 64, when I was 7; during initial setup I couldn’t find the ‘any’ key.
  3. When I was 11, I wanted to move to Canada and become a nature photographer, how I became a programmer is another story.
  4. My nickname Shey was given to me by my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Graham, my real name is hideously difficult to pronounce.
  5. My favorite cafe ever is Empire Café in Houston. The coffee is awesome and the food is delicious, my favorite place to be on a cold Houston winter night.

Watch me kill this meme, I tag:

Thomas Nguyen

  1. Good call on Empire Cafe… Coffee is good, Tomato Basil Soup is good, and of course the carrot cake.

  2. [...] Tom’s talking ’bout his role at his job and I’m still not sure if I really know what he does at work, but his post reminds me of the “5 things you didn’t know about me” meme which was so popular several months ago; in honor of that meme, and because bloggers love talking about themselves I’m tagging Ben and James with the “What do You Do?” meme.
