White’s of Henry Lane

I didn’t actually get tagged with the Fours meme, but I had it mailed to me. Pretty much every feed I’ve subscribed to has included it as well. And on a Friday after a company party when you’re waiting on the green light to promote some code fixes, you’re inclined to say its the same thing.

Four jobs I’ve had

• Wiring light fixtures for display in a lighting store
• Digitizing Dufferin County maps for a GIS department on a 386 Hyundai “workstation” with a 4X6 rollup tablet
• Managing the business, computer and current event sections at an independant book store. I place the first order for WIRED magazine there; the second issue they’d released
• Slinging coffee for the Second Cup by University of Waterloo.

Four movies I can watch over and over

• Star Wars
• Aliens
• And Now for Something Completely Different
• Dodgeball, heaven help me … although the attraction wore off a bit when everyone was quoting the stinking thing while actually playing dodgeball

Four places I’ve lived

• here,
• here,
• here, and
• here.

Four TV shows I love to watch

• Kids in the Hall, who’re apparently doing a reunion tour
• MythBusters
• Design on a Dime
• Family Guy, although less now than I used to

Four places I’ve been on vacation

• Paris and the south of France
• London
• The Dominican Republic
• St John’s, Newfoundland

Four of my favorite dishes

• Roasted fig and vegetable pita with fries and jalepeno mayonaise from Cafe Maroc in Toronto
• Black bean wrap with tempeh from Fresh
• Fresh, fire-roasted olives, goats gouda and baguette on Saturdays, all fresh from St Lawrence Market
• my wife’s fantastic I-can’t-believe-its-not-veal-parmesan.

Four sites I visit daily – I’m pulling this from my OPML

• BoingBoing
• O’Reilly Network Developer’s Hub
• Gizmodo
• SkimCSS, a very recent addition.

Four places I’d rather be right now

• Playa del Carman, Mexico, where I passed the most relaxing four days of my life, drinking $10 peso beer, eating at Cafe Press and 100% Natural, and chilling at the hostel around the corner from the beach
• Byron Bay, I’ve never been, but my wife talks it up a lot
• Brighton, England
• Home, on the couch, reading.
