Sean tagged<\/a> me, so here are five things that you probably didn’t know about me:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I have dual citizenship. I was born and raised in Canada, and got my Greek citizenship in 2005<\/li>\n
  2. After undergrad, a few of my buddies and I decided to forget about looking for work, and packed our backpacks<\/a> for Europe for a couple of months. We visited<\/a> 10 countries. After blowing the bank, it was time to come home. Hands down one of the best experiences in my life<\/li>\n
  3. My bachelor’s degree was in social \/ economic and urban geography. Stuff like urban growth patterns and gentrification were things that really interested me (they still do)<\/li>\n
  4. I didn’t learn how to program or anything UNIX-ish for that matter until 1998. My first introduction to this world was by Mike (Adair of mapbuilder<\/a> fame) who suggested I take UNIX training. I was hooked. The rest, as they say, is history. Thanks again Mike!<\/li>\n
  5. I’m mildly considering a PhD, having bounced around research ideas with Carleton<\/a> and McMaster<\/a>. I’d like to do something which combines my social\/economic and urban undergrad degree and the stuff I do nowadays. The showstopper being the feasibility of actually doing it relative to having a life, salary and mortgages<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I hereby tag Cameron<\/a>, Jody<\/a> and Tyler<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
