Al Upton tagged me at the end of December, and I've finally gotten round to posting something. My approach has just been to blog the first 5 things that most people are unlikely to know about me that came to mind, briefly. However, I'm slightly depressed that out of the 5, 3 demonstrate my geeky-to-the-core credentials, 1 relates to my hippy upbringing, and 1 is inexplicable, even to me. I'm really hoping that most people know that I do have good social skills.
1. I’m a film junkie and a couple of years ago I was filing a brief weekly slot about tech in movies over at Engadget. That put me off ever wanting a career in mainstream blogging.
2. I’m a big comics fan too, especially Love & Rockets. When I was a teenager Alan Martin put a toon version of me into his Planet Swerve series.
3. If we had an annual family holiday when I was a kid, it was always to Glastonbury Music Festival.
4. I spend a lot of time playing computer games with my son. I especially like shoot em ups, and Phoenix Wright.
5. I have a phobia about tiny, Borrower-sized people.
I tag Régine Debatty: check out her 5 things here
Catherine Howell: one of my favorite 5 things posts so far
Henry Jenkins: his 5 things can be found here
Dave Tosh, and David Wilcox.
About #1... can I say that I deeply miss new entries on the "A girl & a gun" blog?
Ciao Josie and a great "in bocca al lupo" (good luck) for your new job.
Luca

Hey Luca - hope all is well with you. I know, I know, I've been getting endless complaints, but just haven't had the time. Am weakening though - keep an eye out for updates.
