I’ve been “tagged” by another blogger, Karl Fisch, at the Fischbowl as part of a Five Things meme. A meme is sort of a thematic internet project. From Blogjargon, it’s defined as “an idea, project, statement or even a question that is posted by one blog and responded to by other blogs.” In any case, the tagg-ee [...]
