Coming late to the party, as usual, but what the heck:

1. Navigated for an airplane at age seven.
2. Demonstrated (the hard way) why one should always wear a bicycle helmet.
3. Built the first known board for a game that hadn't been played for ~700 years.
4. Written a technical article that was obsolete before it was published.
5. Proven that it is possible (if deeply unwise) to turn a single-player videogame into a multi-player one.

(Was going to list "Participated in every extant Carolingian guild", but on review there are still two or three I haven't done yet...)

Eh, I did #2 as well. Worn a helmet ever since.

#5... It's never too late to over-commit yourself. ;)

(Which ones?)

#1…I suppose it depends how you define ‘navigated for.’ If that includes things like charts and navaids, then you've got me beat by a few years. If that means sitting in the right seat of a small plane and pointing at things out the window, then I started doing that when a friend of the family got his pilot's license when I was three years old. Some of my earliest memories are of the cockpit of a plane, and I was following along on the yolk before I could reach the rudder peddles.

#4. I wrote several in-house technical articles that were obsolete before I started (legacy software that needed additional documentation). Would that count?

I played my first game of Byzantine Chess this weekend.

I liked it a lot.

How much have you played it?

Haven't done it yet, but I should have #3 done in a few weeks - making some boards for El Mundo finally.
