Crap.  I guess I am busted for not reading thoroughly enough.  I read Arnon's Tagged blog a few weeks ago, but didn't notice my name.  Hits from his site made me curious to see why they were coming in.

 

Well any way, here are the 5 things you don't know about me.

 

1. I did my first programming on a Commodore 64 Home computer.  It had 64KB of memory and ran BASIC 2.0.  I added, subtracted, multiplied, and was amazed.

 

2.  I started my career as an Electronic Engineer.  I got into programming Web Applications as a favor to someone using Claris on a Performa Mac with no internet connection.  I distributed the Web Apps on a disk that also contained IE 1.0.  I called them Web Bombs.  I still think MACs are far superior to PCs, although I don't own one.

 

3.  I am in love with a Lady that loves to travel.  We take 2 trips a year.  We have been to England, San Fran. CA, Las Vegas, Reno, Dominican Republic several times, Curacao, Alaska, Hawaii, Belize, Colorado, and on several cruises.

 

4.  As a child I had a collection of magnifying glasses, that I termed "Ant Burners".

 

5.  Technology books relax me.  It's like reading the way life is suppose to be.  I read programming books on vacation.  Once on a cruise some guys with a singles group said, "Is that loser reading a programming book?".  It was Deitel's C# book.  I just thought to myself, "Well, I am the only guy on this deck with a beautiful lady by my side."

 

Here are the 5 that are it:

Thomas Beck, Philippe Truche, Chris Allwein, Adam Nathan, Steve Cook
