Fri, 31 Mar 2006 05:04:55 +0000 http://ipears.com/2006/03/21/blog-role-models/#comment-84 Wow, I am quite honored to be listed here! To be mentioned in one breath with so many fine people, it’s just.. wow :-) Thank you very much!

I must confess and say I voted for Veerle — the only female in the list (and therefore deserving extra attention, imo), but also my biggest inspiration among those names. Her design talents never cease to amaze and inspire me, and her incredibly helpful tips and methods for design ideas are something that make me wish I was as fluent in creating good tutorials, let alone that regularly!

Again, thanks for your kind words. I will continue to do my utmost best to provide you and others with useful and valuable information, tips and technologies.

Were I required to pick a role model, I supposed Darren would be it. However, I choose to not pick a role model. Honestly, I don't <em>have</em> a blogging role model. I have a lot of inspiration from other bloggers, and I take a lot of inspiration for specific bloggers, but I do not - in any way - aspire to be like them. Sure, I wouldn't mind making my living blogging, ala Darren. Sure I wouldn't mind creating a blogging empire, and then selling it for an obscene amount of money, ala Calcanis. Certainly, I wouldn't mind being able to blog about things I love, and <em>not</em> see a need for ads, ala Kent Newsome. The thing is, all of those people, and more, combine to make a sort of uber role model. I aspire to be what I aspire to be. I just let those on top <em>in</em>spire me, along my way.
