Some people think the blog world is all give and take, as in I don’t ‘give‘ a _______ about this and ‘take‘ this and ________.

Well, it is about sharing opinions, but it’s not about ranting. What makes blogging interesting is knowing the people behind the comments they make. You don’t see the disclaimer ”these views are not representative of this blog, the management of the blog or any affiliates therof.” Owning your comments as an individual is what makes blogs different and unique.

So, I just got tagged by Phil Gerbyshak, from Slacker Manager with a game going around the blogging community where you are asked to share six things that people don’t know about you. It’s a push to share something new about yoursef and then you get to “tag” three more bloggers.

Six things on me…

1) One of my early management  jobs put me in cubicle 4S450N (doesn’t that just feel inspiring), just down the hall from cubicle 4S750R, the home of Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. It was a real learning opportunity for sure! 

2) Sailing in the SF Bay is rough and cold, and for all of my sailing friends in the Bay Area, I say “bring it on,” give me 20 knots, chop and sea spray any day. Although I confess here that I really enjoy a long smooth broad reach off of Malibu with warm weather, a gentle breeze, long rolling waves, and the Eagles on the cockpit speakers. 

3) Playing rock guitar has been a life long passion. Rock On!

4) My kids and I have made a few really silly movies using their stuffed animals, stop-motion and our voice overs for filming…but we haven’t had the nerve to put them up on YouTube (yet).

5) My name gets misspelled all the time.My favorite was in Germany where the hotel staff were expecting a German man by the name of Mike Kanesauer (as opposed to Kanazawa) and were quite surprised when I arrived

6) I have a son who just started high school and the song that played at my high school graduation was from Styx. No need to do the math.

Now, as to the rules of this game: You must:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So my next three are:

The Daily Challenges of an Entrepreneur

Guy Kawasaki - How to Change the World

Rajesh Setty - Life Beyond Code

And one I’d love to see personally…

Scott Adams - The Dilbert Blog
