Five Things

Sean tagged me, so here goes:

  1. I have cheated death three times.  First, I overturned a farm tractor and had a 500 lb. barrel roll inches past my head.  About two years later, I fell asleep driving and drove off a curve at 60+ mph.  Finally, about a year afterward, I was struck by lightning driving down the freeway at 70 miles per hour (totaled the car but didn’t touch me). 
  2. I am halfway to completing my private pilot’s license (no close calls so far ;)
  3. My first successful Linux installation was on a Compaq iPaq using the handhelds.org distribution about five years ago.
  4. I own an original Palm I handheld. I still would have rather had a Newton.
  5. My first computer was an Apple IIgs.  Graphics and sound, baby!

Mateusz, Frank, Sandro, Jo, and Gary,  you’re it.
