Steve of the Sacramento Citron-Pousty’s tagged me for this little
disclosure.
1) While programming, I really like to crank trance / techno music. Can’t
stand it any other time, but I’ve got a big pile of Paul Oakenfold etc. for hammering out
code. Go figure…
PET way back in the day), I somehow also got into skateboarding. Apparently I was
pretty good, as I was sponsored by a local skateshop (or maybe there were not
many skaters). Being as I lived in Ottawa, Canada, and skateboarding was not
socially acceptable at that time, there were very few skate ramps. The one time
I did get on a big ramp (16 footer), I slammed and busted my nose. 3) I am a chill/ambient music junkie (maybe this transcends from the techno
thing?). Ambient Nights is a great
free collection if you’ve not checked this out before. Reminds me of chillin on
a beach in Thailand, sippin Mai Tai’s.
4) When I started at COGS (wow that’s a podunk web
site for a very good school!), my plan was to go work for ESRI in Redlands. HOwever, the plan changed when I met (now my wife) Jill, and thus we
are in Fort Collins.
5) Despite egging on every American I know to get out and vote, I have not
voted in a Canadian election in 10+ years. Maybe it’s because I figure that if
the most extreme lunatic gets elected there, they will have little net negative
effect on the world. As we have seen, this is not the case in America.
Apparently I get to pass this on. Who’s up? How about Art Haddad, Brian Flood, and Glenn Letham.
