Collage Of Influence

November 30, 2011 bulldozer00 Leave a comment Go to comments

In a stream of (un)consciousness, I whipped together a collage of people who have greatly influenced my thinking over the years. The criteria for inclusion were: 1) they had to be alive today (with one exception), 2) no one in the entertainment or sports industries, 3) no politicians (that was easy), and 4) I’ve never met them face to face.

How many of my influencers do you recognize? What would your collage of influence look like?

Booch, Sutter, Stroustroup, that’s all I recognize. My collage of influence would just be a big ‘ol picture of you, Anythony!

    Crushed culture. D’oh!
    
    I love how the author “was once a former serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and Buddhist monk.”

I would include Uncle Bob Martin in a collage.
