Mark Dykeman's Facebook profilemark_128.JPG

I am Mark Dykeman and I live in Woodstock, New Brunswick, CANADA. I’m guessing you don’t, otherwise you might know that this Woodstock is a relatively small town in a relatively rural province in the second largest country in the world. BUT it’s growing and it’s located at the intersection of both the Trans Canada Highway system and the US I95 Highway system.

I observe social media and I often participate in various forms, including blogging, microblogging (mainly Twitter), social bookmarking, and social news.

I have been a contributor at the following blogs:

I do not possess any equity, ownership, or editorial control at the blogs where I have contributor status.

I do receive compensation for some of my blogging and writing work.

Here’s some personal stuff:

  • I’m a married IT professional with two young children
  • BBA from a New Brunswick university
  • I work for a local company. It’s a multinational company in the middle of a charming nowhere. Seventeen years later I’m still there, which is pretty odd for a Gen Xer.
  • Couple of certifications, including CPIM from APICS and Advanced Communicator Bronze from Toastmasters
  • The Brainiest Posts page will give you some insight into some of my more important online interests.
  • I do a lot of guest posting and other writing outside of this blog. Check my Writing page for more info.

Odd things:

  • I own a cell phone, but I don’t use it more than once per month.
  • My personality type is ISTJ now INTJ, as per the Myers Briggs Type Indicator.
  • I love junk in various forms.
  • For some reason I’m interested in office supplies. Still trying to find the perfect To Do list and planning tool.
  • I’ve been lucky enough to spend extended period of time in the US, the UK, Australia, and parts of Europe.
  • I have a number of writing projects and other interests that I tinker with on occasion.
