Who are you?

Contrary to the fact or what you may have heard I am a reasonable and cheerful guy. Who can't help himself. Either by making a creative mess, or charging ahead. Besides being old and stubborn Im from Oslo, interdisciplinary ~ history and IT, and to some I appear quite annoying while to others endearing - I really don't care which.

  

What are your strengths, weaknesses, and interests?

I am a team player so I tend to mediate and focus on the teams function and progress. This can be a rather unfulfilling and unrewarding experience. We are a stubborn bunch.

I hunt opportunities and original ideas. It is my second nature to analyse and interprete. I get caught up in things too easily and have little regard for limits which I should be aware of. This is both positive and negative in equal measures. Who in their right mind tells you not to think outside the box? Interests are varied. If they weren't, they wouldn't be my interests.

What interests you about the product and service you are going to deliver?

The opportunity this might bring a lot of people  and a general hope that it might take off!

I have use for the service myself. There are many aspects of this service that interest me. Mainly design, UI, development, user feedback/participation, and the business drive and aspect of the project.

How do you determine or evaluate success?

I determine my success on two conditions; the standards to be met for reaching and achieving the set goals, and of course my own preferences. A project might succeed, but I might not be happy with the results. I give my best either way.
