People Tagging Sunday, August 5 1:00 PM

I encountered an activity similar to this one at the NMC Summer Conference: People Tagging. The ice-breaker activity at the conference's opening reception, attendees were asked, optionally in exchange for a chance to win free "stuff," to list several tags describing themselves and then find others who had used the tag. It was an enjoyable activity that created a lot of conversation about the terms different people were using. In this instance . . .

I’ve been tagged by Stephanie Sandifer for this “8 Random Things About Me” meme.

The rules are:

1) Post these rules before you give your facts
2) List 8 random facts about yourself
3) At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
4) Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they’ve been tagged

Here are my “random facts”:

1. I've played fantasy baseball for more than 10 years.
2. A banana shake is my favorite dessert.
3. I grew up in one school system, kindergarten through graduation.
4. I rewind on the Tivo to watch Sonic commercials.
5. I follow the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and mixed-martial arts.
6. My wife, two daughters and I like to go geocaching as TheGreatFinders.
7. I learned all the skills I've needed in competitive academic speech & debate (HS & College).
8. My wife and I met on a blind date.

Alrighty — enough about me… let’s hear from:
