Before I took off for the holidays, I told you Seven things you may not know about me and tapped a few friends to do the same exercise. Here are pointers to three posts in reply:

• Colleen Wainwright, the Communicatrix: Ramping up to the end-of-year lists — Colleen gets extra credit because she listed sixteen things. An overachiever, she is. The most provocative (read: crazy) thing on her list: “I will go to my grave saying Jackie Brown is superior to Pulp Fiction.”
• Russ Somers, Egghead Marketing: Seven Things You May Not Know About Me — I worked in the cubicle next to his for two years and didn’t know some of this stuff about Russ’s career. My favorite part (and an excellent lesson in chutzpah) is this: “I dropped out after my first year of college to play in bands. It was 1979, so the fact that I didn’t play an instrument at the time didn’t slow me down. I bought a bass and was in a band within two weeks.”
• Dan Markovitz, TimeBack Blog: Seven things you may not know about me. — Dan’s got a good sense of humor, but he’s not one for mincing words: “Internet entrepreneurs are, in general, the worst bunch of whiners and time wasters when it comes to productivity issues.”

Thanks to all of these folks for playing along!

ADDENDUM, January 5: My Hoover’s colleague Jeff Dorsch responded in the comments on the original post. Thanks, Jeff! (I’m gonna have to ask you about that Cabo Verde trip, since I’ve always wanted to visit there . . .)
