Five things you don’t know about mhass

I know, I know, it’s been all the rage lately, and I kinda find it entertaining and cool to find out things about your favorite bloggers that you didn’t know. Not that I am anyone’s favorite blogger.

Here are a five things you didn’t know about me.

1)  My parents are both immigrants from Brasil, and I had dual citizenship from Brasil and USA until I was 18 even though I was born in the US.

2) I drove up Pike’s Peak with a learner’s permit when I was 15½

3) I took a lot of art classes in middle school and high school winning several car design and drafting contests (ironically, one of the contests was at Riverfront which in now a call center for Dish Network which is one of my customers). Maybe that is why I enjoy using PowerPoint and Visio, but hate that they are so rigid and limited from an art perspective. Mac’s were way better for drawing even back in the 80’s.

4) The first computer I ever used was an Apple IIplus in Elementary school in 1980 (third grade). In subsequent years, Mr. Lees our gym teacher would let us sneak in and play pirated video games on his 2 Apples during recess.

5) German was my first language, I can still understand and speak German, but I wish I had an outlet to practice it more.
