Hi, Eric -- This would, I believe, represent my first communication with you as an official "friend." (Applause, applause). There have been many momentous events on the world stage since our last conversation. I would diplomatically describe them as challenging but exciting. I suspect you'd agree, but with a lot more enthusiasm, nicht wahr?
I still remember having a conversation with you at SCIP 08 in San Diego. I attended your workshop and during a break you told me how you have learnt spanish in DC.
Thanks for adding me, I have been reading some links posted in CI. I am totally impressed since wide range of people are here and very interesting topics are shared.
Sincerely,
Selin
Welcome to St. Louis! The musician in you should love it -- it's a great town for all kinds of music. I know the jazz and classical are especially strong. And your love of wine can be indulged at tasting & classes at places like the Wine Merchant. And if the linguist in you loves other nations' foods -- not just languages, there is the International Institute's Festival of Nations the last weekend of August.
Nice to meet you Eric! Hopefully you get back up to VT occasionally.
The focus of your company is really interesting. Do you ever use patents as a data source for making projections? Granted they are already a lagging indicator, but there is a lot of information contained in them that can help to reverse engineer competitors' strategies or extrapolate out new product offerings (e.g. Febreze as an fabric freshener to air freshener).
Nice way to learn a language! Indeed English and Dutch have a lot in common, although Dutch is supposedly impossible to pronounce ;). Thanks for reading my blog, wondered who it was.
Thanks for the invite, and thanks for the nice words about my blog :). I am working on a Dutch version, but I'm happy to know I will at least have one person reading it! You have Dutch roots then?
Sem dúvida que 20 anos de samba e bossa novas são uma grande ajuda. Espero que tenhas aproveitado para te divertires no Carnaval, assumindo que infelizmente não foste até ao Brasil :-).
Abraço,
Miguel
Thanks Eric, completely understand....as with other events we host, we always try and draft something appropriate to increase the value and share with participants. I will ensure that you get a copy of it. Should be a blast. Enjoy the day!
