The Tag Got Me, Help!

It has been doing the round for quite a while, but now James Kovacs has passed it to me:

  1. I can read a (non technical book) in Hebrew/English in about 1 - 3 hours, and usually read at least 3 books per week, from home library that contains ~1,000 volumes. I have frown addicted to ebooks.com, simply because I can look at a book, and 5 minutes later read it.
  2. I am a native Hebrew speaker, but when I needed to translate a lecture abstract from English to Hebrew, I had to get help from my boss Muhammad.
  3. The thing that I loath the most is not having something to do. Boredom is a state I try to avoid. Hence, very little TV and a lot more activities where an operational brain is a requirement.
  4. I have OCD about leaving unread items in an inbox. I usually leave a message unread to bug me to do something about it. My boss has 768 unread emails, I just can't understand this.
  5. Until roughly the middle of high school my scores in English were consistent G (as in you should aspire to an F). Then that Internet things happened :-)
  6. The thing that the IDF thought I was good for was as a truck driver. I didn't like the offer, but then I was drafted and sent to jail.

Now I need to pass the buck quickly for someone else, so the choosen targets are:

  1. Justin Angel
  2. Oren Ellenbogen
  3. Scott Bellware
  4. Ken Egozi
  5. Jon Galloway

I have repeatedly asked myself the question how you could be so active on your blog, forums, customer projects and your own tools. It just baffles me. Come to think of it: you just might be either affected with ADHD or just plain manic without the depressions :)

When it comes to reading books: I have always found it a waste of time, reading non-technical literature. Don't get me wrong, I like a good book. But while reading fiction, I always ask myself: shouldn't I be reading stuff I learn from? I guess it's just some deviation of mine, because while watching tv, that same voice mutes :)

And yeah, your English sucks, but you make up with your excellent work.
