First I have to post these rules:

• Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves which others do not know about them.
• People who are tagged need to write in their own blog and post these rules.
• At the end of your 8 random facts post, you must select 8 more people and leave a message at their site that they have been tagged.

It is a nice change after the previous heavy conceptual postings

So, here it goes, 8 facts about me:

• My official first name is Sebastiaan. However at the age of 5 when I had to learn to write my name Bas was easier to write. That is how I came to my first name.
• I married in Las Vegas in 2000.
• My kitchen has two colors: apple green with deep purple.
• My goal is the life style outlined in “The 4 Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferris.
• A nice algorithm to me is better than a painting or picture. But it is too geeky to say out loud.
• I drive a Fiat Stylo, which is a typical Italian brand car: looks great and spends a lot of time at the car repair shop.
• I met my wife at a birthday party of a relative. Really.
• When the World Wide Web was invented I was studying at the Free University in Amsterdam. I totally missed that event! I missed the birth of the web!

There you have it. Totally random facts about me.

Finding 8 bloggers to pass this meme on to turned out to be a disaster. Most of the blogs I read are tagged already. I might come back sometimes and edit this post to add a new person to come up to the desired amount.

I tag..

• Thushara Wijewardena from Projectized
• PierG
• Hal from Reforming Project Management
• Dina Scott from Controlling Chaos Podcast
• Cornelius Fichtner from PM Podcast
• James McGovern
• James Robertson
• Anne Zelenka

I included some podcasts in the hope that they mention it on an episode.
