And she tagged me for the fun game!
Four jobs I've had:
- Soccer referee. Does that count? I don't know if I actually got paid. I was probably 12 or 13.
- Ice Cream vendor, Baskin Robbins. I worked at Baskin Robbins for about a year, I think. I was probably the worst BR employee ever—I wasn't openly disdainful, I guess, but I never really smiled at customers, &c.
- Software Engineer, Excite@Home & Ignition Design. & some other places while in college, too.
- Co-Founder/CTO, Six Apart
Four movies I can watch over and over:
Four places I've lived:
- Petaluma, CA
- Santa Clara, CA
- Redwood City, CA

(Yes, very boring.)

- Blow Out

- Survivor (more)
- Lost (more)
- I'm Alan Partridge / Knowing Me, Knowing You (more)
- 24
- The Sopranos
- Arrested Development
- Freaks and Geeks (more)
Four places I've vacationed:
- Los Cabos, Mexico. November 2005, after Thanksgiving. (some photos)
- Big Island, Hawaii. July 2005. I fell off of a bike & had to get 15 stitches in my chin, & thereafter couldn't go in the water. But it was still a fun trip.
- Charleston, SC. Twice, as day trips while visiting Mena's family in Charlotte, NC.
- England & France for a month, after college.
Four of my favorite dishes:
- Curry Udon in Tokyo, which is always our just-off-the-plane-and-somewhat-delirious meal. Mie has some good photos.
- Coconut cake at Peninsula Grill in Charleston, SC. This cake was so amazing! Here's a photo.
- Fish tacos! Anywhere, really, but especially here.
- Vietnamese potstickers, which I haven't had for probably 15 years, I guess, but when my dad used to work in San Francisco, my family would drive down to visit him every so often. We'd meet him out in the Inner Richmond (he'd take the bus out from the Financial District), and we'd go to a Vietnamese restaurant, The Garden House, around 3rd and Clement. The restaurant isn't there anymore—I remember when they told us they were moving to the East Bay, & that was a sad day. I loved those potstickers.
FourThree sites I visit daily:
- my LJ friends page
- my blog
- Whatever sites NetNewsWire tells me have been updated.
Four places I would rather be right now:
- New York
- Disneyland
- Hawaii
- sleeping
It's too bad there's no search engine that lets you query for "&c." We would definitely win most frequent usage there. I'm trying to figure out how I'd even escape that query term, and it makes me flash back to bad invalid RSS examples.
Maybe I will see if Alexa's "build your own search from our index" will let me do it.
