Hmmm … I’m not big on the whole blogging tag another blogger meme type things but the idea of passing along a few answers to a Who, What, Where, and How type of questions seems like a cool thing to do. So since I was tagged by Matthew K. Tabor and he is from more of the education blogging sector I’ll have a go - not to mention I’d better be really careful with my spelling as well 
Now the rules for the meme are as such
- The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
- Each player answers the questions about themselves.
- At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
- Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
Just as an aside .. I’m okay with most of the rules with the exception of #3 as I figure anyone I tag will find out via pingbacks or the such so I’m skipping that one. Now on to the questions:
1. What was I doing 10 years ago
Wow .. that’s kinda like trying to remember what I had for breakfast on Tuesday 3 weeks ago but IIRC I was getting my brain wrapped around FoxPro and Visual FoxPro for a programming gig with a company that developed and sold financial software for banks, investment people and related fields.
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (no particular order)
Since this is getting posted late in the evening it would be hoped that whatever was on my list has been done ….. yup it seem so.
3. Snacks I enjoy
* Homemade French Fries
* Potato Chips
* Candy
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire
* set up an investment fund whose profits would be donated yearly to:
- Breast Cancer Foundation
- Salvation Army
- Alzheimer research
* set up trust funds for my grand kids that pays out when they reach the age of 25
* spoil my wife and our dog
5. Three of my bad habits
* smoker
* procrastinator
* depends on what you classify as bad habits - so I’ll stop there
6. 5 places I have lived
* Doncaster England - on two different occasions as a kid but I was born in Huddersfield not far from there
* Toronto Ontario Canada
* Lindsay Ontario - where I now also came to live
* Calgary Alberta Canada
* Vancouver British Columbia Canada
7. 5 jobs I have had
* Truck driver
* Bartender
* Hot tar roofer
* programmer
* small business owner
8. 5 peeps I’m tagging so we can find out more about them
Now comes the hard part because I really don’t like tagging folks for a meme so I’m keeping to 5 people. Those are folks I’ve met through being a blogger and within the last few months as well because that has been when I have grown and managed to come in contact with some really cool folks.
So here’s my list of people:
1. Tony Hung - Deep Jive Interests
2. Louis Gray - Louis Gray Blog
3. Mathew Ingram - Mathew Ingram at Work
4. Frederic - The Last Podcast
5 Jason Kaneshiro - webomatica
And with that I am done my tagging meme responsibilities
