R. GLYN MOODY HAS JUST TAGGED ME, which means that I became a (flattered and willing) victim of an endless chain:

The rules that apply to those whom I tag are:

• Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged.

I last did this a couple of years ago, so I’ll reuse four and add three more.

1. I never tie my shoes these days. Whether it’s sneakers or something more formal, I tie the laces just once and then use the shoes as though they were flip-flops.
2. As s child, I wanted to play the trombone
3. I worked at Burger King for a year (as a teenager)
4. I nearly always use the computer while I eat
5. I sometimes wonder if technology does more harm than good to us homo sapiens
6. Nothing bores me more than lectures about knowledge that will never be applied for good cause. I fall asleep easily at such talks.
7. I’ve begun abstaining from many things that emit radiation, no matter what self- or corporation-appointed scientists say about the long-term impact

I pass on this chain to:

1. Mary Jo Foley
2. Russell Ossendryver
3. Matt Cutts
4. Matt Mullenweg
5. Matt Asay
6. Matt
7. Michael Larabel
