So I got home from Holiday traveling to find that I’ve been tagged in the irrepressible blog-tag game by long-time friend and more recently colleague, Eric T. Peterson.
With very little preamble and no ado, here are 5 things you might not know about me:
- the “A” in A. Clinton Ivy - it doesn’t stand for Any Clinton Ivy nor is it A of {A, B, C, or D} … much to my wife’s chagrin who would much rather send a clone on business trips. No, it stands for Albert - Albert Clinton is a family name. However, I’ve been Clint for so long (longer than I can remember) that I used to be horribly embarrassed when a new teacher would invariably use Albert instead of Clint. That’s no longer the case but if you call out ‘Albert’ and expect me to respond, you’ll be disappointed.
- I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and am thusly adverse to left-hand turns ;~), and am addicted to green and red chile (don’t even think of spelling it ‘chili’ - that’s some sort of stew with beans and meat that Texans and Chicagoans make). Every trip home I have to eat at Blake’s Lotaburger for a green chile cheeseburger, Dion’s Pizza for a slice or two, smothered in green chile and either Los Cuates, Papa Felipe’s or Garcia’s for Enchiladas with red chile.
- I have a son, Michal (almost 7) who loves the Grand Canyon, NASCAR, Monster Trucks and Skyscrapers
- I won an internet advertising campaign award in 2003
- Obligatory: I studied classical languages (greek and latin), creative writing and biological anthropology in college - yep three things that have absolutely nothing to do with web analytics
So whom shall I tag…?
Mom, who has a blog and is WAY more interesting than I am
Chris Gemignani at Juice Analytics
Andrea Wiggins, whom I met at Emetrics last spring
George Sfarnas, author of Being Five, because I love the comic
Guy Kawasaki - why not?
