Tag, You
Andy Bitterer from Gartner invited me to join this tag, youre it initiative for weblogs. Andys weblog can be found at www.bitblueblog.com. The idea is, just like at cocktail parties to share something that most people wouldnt know about you. It might be a bit off focus for this weblog, but I think it is such a nice idea.
So, following on Andys list, here is my list of things:
1. I currently have pitchblack hair. This was necessary for taping the Business Performance Magic movie, where I play the role of the magician. It will take at least three weeks before my hair returns to normal.
2. There is life outside work. One of my passions is studying the art of 17th century Dutch Master etchings.
3. My favorite type of music is Trance. This type of music (and my fascination with it) goes back to the days of Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk. I create my own music as well, but theres a looooooong way to go.
4. I am an analyst and a presenter at heart. As an 8 year old, my first show-and-tell was about the history of Maarssen, the village where I lived. I was researching the topic for weeks and had a 45 minute presentation. Some things never change.
5. I do more than just business and IT trend watching. I do a fair job of predicting male fashion trends. Not for the mainstream, but more on the business creative side. This winter: pocket squares are back. Previous predictions that were right: two-tone shoes, the old-fashioned hat and the re-emergence of the color orange.
6. I am a complete loser when it comes to technology (which is scary given the field where I work in). The only computer I am truly happy with is my old Apple at home. I dont even know five weblogs to send this tag, youre it to next... I just know one. http://cpm-view.blogspot.com/, tag, you are it!!
