Ok, I saw it coming, the new chain letter 2.0 has arrived and it's called Blog Tag. It's a little more fun and informative. On December 10th, Jeff Pulver started a little game of Blog Tag. The concept was to tell 5 interesting things about yourself and then "tag" 5 friends and see how fast it can spread. It has quickly spread across the Internet, and I am honored to have been pinged in just 6 days. Thanks Vinny! I'm not sure I can compete with Rock bands and 8-ball and chess championships, but here are 5 things you may or may not know about me.

1. In July of 2001 I was diagnosed with Leukemia, and I have just past a big milestone of being in remission for 5 years this November.
2. When my first son, Addison, was born in 1996 I setup a camera on his crib so his grandfather could check in on the crib over the internet. Addison's Cribcam was the first of it's kind and was covered by tv stations, newspapers, and radio stations around the country. It was even covered by Tom Brokaw!
3. I love to play Poker! I'm not as good as I would like to be, but I'm always up for a game. In fact one time I went to a business meeting where some of the attendees were late flying in, and we stuck up a poker game using a deck of cards from the Hotel and M&M's as the Poker chips!
4. I'm an early Internet entrepreneur. In 1993 I started York Pennsylvania's first for profit dial-up BBS that evolved into York PA's first commercial ISP. After several acquisitions starting in 1998 Cyberia is now part of Earthlink
5. Finally, like Vinny I too have had my likeness manipulated by bored designers! Vinny I really do like your Vinny the Poo:
   
   
   Here are a couple they did of me when I worked at Network Solutions:
   
   The "Viener" Donald
   
   
   Yes, Potse is me!
   
   
   Can you Sing - YMCA!
   
   
   Mini V
   
   
   Busta V
   
   So, Vinny, sorry to say, Vinny the Poo might be only the beginning.

So I guess it's my turn to tag some others to keep the party going. So, David Lewis, Beth Kirsch, Stowe Boyd, Chris Abraham, and Bob Parsons, your it!
