Seven things about me (cause I’ve been tagged)

Saturday I was tagged by a Mark Creeten, a co-worker who blogs about HTML/CSS. I was already thinking about what would be my first post this year, but because I was too busy a haven’t gotten to it. But now someone else decided the topic for me. Thanx, Mark with a K.

Well, here goes:

1. Once a year, I drive to the snow and put on my snowboard boots. I am not an expert, but when the snow is fresh and crispy you can find me in the deep snow next to the piste.
2. The first video game I played was Mario Bros on Atari 2600. I played it until the joysticks completely fell apart. You can say that this was my first contact with the bits and the bytes. The last game I played was the fantastic Gears Of War 2 on Xbox 360.
3. In the weekend I like playing boardgames with my friends. My favorite games are Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne.
4. When I was little I had a lot of Star Wars toys, but I gave them all away to the boy next door who was a lot younger than me. Too bad, because I could have sold them for a lot of money on eBay!
5. I like to cook, especially exotic dishes. My favorites are the Mexican, Thai and Moroccan kitchen. The more spices the better!
6. There is a Wikipedia entry about my family (sorry, only in dutch). Royal Nord was a brand of old timer motorbikes made in Belgium in the fifties and sixties.
7. And last but not least, I became the proud father of a beautiful son at the end of last year.

Here are my victims:

• Rien, a fellow Flash developer.
• C’Real a former classmate and creative soul.
• Bert Heymans, the Journeyman Project Manager.
• Mark Deraeve, a former colleague and .NET Developer.
• Minorissues, the interactive strategy maven.
• Sakri, the best Flash developer from Finland.
• Patrik, traveler and designer.

Here are the rules if you are tagged:

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
• 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 by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter

Well that’s it.
