Spaghetti. I like fresh spaghetti. I enjoy spaghetti best right after I pick it fresh from my orchard. I don’t even bother drying first.

Flying Penguins. One of the top 10 things I want to see in my life is the migration of this amazing breed of penguins.

Rumors. I’ve created some fun rumors and jokes through the years. Several years ago when I worked at Novell, I started a rumor about NetWare for Macintosh. We were still developing it and had not even made any public announcements about it. So I wrote an article that prematurely “leaked the news” about our upcoming product. It was believable at first, but as the story progressed, the claims became more and more ridiculous. I printed my story and glued on top of the “Mac The Knife” rumors column of a popular Macintosh magazine. Then I photocopied it and I placed copies on several managers and VP’s desks. I went back to my office and silently chucked as they read it. The surprising thing is that none of them got to the part where it became obvious that it was a joke. Instead, they came to me to figure out how this leak could have happened. Needless to say, I won company’s April Fools’ day contest! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be bragging about it here.
