You asked for it - here 7 things you (and probably a lot more) didn’t know about me:

• Some people have more influence over me than I would admit. A great deal of inspiration and ideas are drawn from direct discussions - or simply closely watching others. If you try to convince me of something or ask for a solution, I might act reserved. That's because I already try to find the best way to achieve it.. - and might end up silent when I don't find a short-term way to contribute/adapt. Make no mistake - it matters to me.
• Little wonders. I enjoy myself on little/simple changes/things - especially when they unleash opportunities (make sense in a bigger context). Some already had the "pleasure" to listen to me having lengthy talks about a small thing that I think is going to change the way I/we experience my/the world.
• Best results under pressure. I hate me for that. But the past has shown that on occasions of great pressure I came up great ideas/solutions. Like the German saying: "Not macht erfinderisch!". I use that "joker" sometimes - that tend to drive people in my surrounding nuts - sorry.
• I don't read books nor watch TV. OK - I might read 2-3 books during a year. I do read a lot in the internet - my search stats on Google shows an average of 400 queries per months.
• Stats junky. Love to understand facts by studying figures - used to read the Lexicon as a kid. Some call it infoporn. I admit it - I like it - check out this one.
• I love fruit tarts. Including the whole range from fruit cakes to panettone. My mother used to (and still is when I pop in) bake them in all kind of fruit flavors.
• At last - I need hours to write posts like this. Got bad grades for my essays at school and still suck..
  

Merry Christmas
