Four Things

There I was, minding my own business, ranting away, when I checked Technorati and... Martin tagged me. Stuck some strange device in ... well, I don't know where... and I have to play the 'Four Things' thing.

Umm. Four. What a strange number. 4. Do you know it has 4 points in a 4? and 3 points in a 3? 3 points in a 2? 4 points in a 5? While you're off counting points on digits with your fingers, I'll write the rest of this. Go over there, sit down. I have to go to sleep soon, and need to concentrate.

Anyways... to make it interesting, I'm adding a 'bonus' to some that you can pay me extra for by purchasing coffee for me if you see me.

Four Jobs I Have Had

1. Gopher for Printery while growing up. Includes managing, technical computer stuff, and manually numbering receipt books.
2. Hospital Corpsman: Curing Marines with booboos.
3. Test Equipment Software Developer: wrote/maintained code that tested and calibrated inertial navigation units. And enough documentation to clog a black hole.
4. Editor/Community Facilitator for LinuxGazette.com

BONUS: One summer, I moonlighted (printery) as a gasoline customer service specialist and as a guy who burns himself in the bakery when pulling bread out of the oven.

By the way, I am looking for stuff to do...

Four Movies I Can Watch Repeatedly

1. The Mission: To find one's self, you have to lose yourself. Self flagellation does not mean what you illiterate people think... :-)
2. Gladiator: To hold on to one's ideals, or the ideals of others that you have adopted.
3. Brazil: Just... good.
4. City of God: A story of a young man growing up in Rio de Janeiro.
