tag i’m it
Posted December 28th, 2006 by Clint
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?

[...] After being “tagged” by Gary Angel I tagged a few folks. So far Clint Ivy and Eric Butler have responded to my tagging, but perhaps the most interesting tag response comes from Dylan Lewis who postulates that the game of tag is either a thin disguise to increase our page ranks for searches for things like “web analytics and the grateful dead” or some intense navel gazing.
