Who Is Nick Hodge?

By Nick Hodge | September 12, 2007

Who Is Nick Hodge?

An inter­est­ing ques­tion, who am I? This is the ques­tion that we all must answer whilst we are on this small planet. It is right up there with “What is the mean­ing of life?” Maybe they are connected.

My LinkedIn Pro­file, and more formal resume: www.linkedin.com Pro­file: Nick Hodge

From a dur­a­tion on this planet per­spect­ive, I am 39-plus-ish. Loc­a­tion, usu­ally Sydney. The fam­ily travels, and I travel for work — so there are pic­tures and stor­ies from all around the world on http://www.nickhodge.com/.

From a per­sonal accom­plish­ment per­spect­ive, I am mar­ried to Avril and have one son, Liam.

[1425] Hodge Family MINI Weekend

I am presently employed as a Pro­fes­sional Geek at Microsoft in Sydney, Aus­tralia. I work mainly online, pub­lished here and also http://thegeekstories.com/

This web site, mun­genet, has been online since 1996. It pred­ates the cur­rent hype/craze of “weblogs/blogs/blogosphere”. His­tor­ical views of mun­genet on www.nickhodge.com and mun­genet on webstuff.apple.com. Apart from the design com­ing a long way; tech­no­lo­gies have too.

My per­sonal likes are books (his­tory, spe­cific­ally mil­it­ary his­tory), pro­gram­ming lan­guages, music; spe­cially music of the 1980’s; and any­thing that is sorta geeky.

Our fam­ily has two Kor­ats (Lucy and Mee Noi (Our Kor­ats)). They are pure bred Thai cats, known as Si Sawat in Thai­l­and. One is named Lucy and the other Mee Noi.

We also two MINI Cooper S’s; one named Megan and the other SCRLTT (Scar­lett) Yes, the cars have names. It assists when we talk about them.

As stated, travel has been a part of my work, and thank­fully some­thing the whole fam­ily enjoy (70 Days, 7 Coun­tries and Jour­neys in 2005) so I get to New Zea­l­and and major cit­ies in Aus­tralia reg­u­lar­ily. Being a part of the wider Asia-Pacific, other loc­a­tions such as Singa­pore, Hong Kong and Tokyo also pop up from time to time.
