Phil tagged me a while back to post 8 random things about myself, so here it goes.

But first the Rules:

“- Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules..

- At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names..

- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.”

1. My favorite color is green.
2. I was raised and grew up in New York, no not New York City but New York State.
3. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science.
4. When I interviewed for the job at Nokia I was asked if I was Finnish. It turns out that Korpi is a common Finnish last name but I didn’t know I had Finnish ancestry until I started working at Nokia. To this day my coworkers still discuss this as it is a funny story.
5. I have owned every Nintendo home console (Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii), so I guess you could say I’m a Nintendo fan.
6. I am the oldest son in my family and have 2 younger brothers.
7. Given the choice I don’t run or use Microsoft Windows. At home I have a couple of computers running GNU/Linux and one Mac running OSX.
8. I enjoy taking photos of food way too much as can be seen on my Flickr account. My favorite food is Lobster.

I’m breaking the rules by not tagging another 8 people. But I would like to see Carol’s 8 random things post. I know some of you bloggers have already posted an 8 random things entry, post a link to it in the comments if you have one already done.
