As one of the great philosophers of the last century said: "oh boy!"
Mind-boggling to realize I have up to this day not really understood what a micro niche is.
Sheesh, I used to think perfume is a micro-niche. Let me break this 'secret' ... it is NOT.
I had no idea how far down you really have to break a niche until you actually get to the micro-niche level. Bikes - a micro-niche? Sir, no sir! Mountain bikes a micro-niche? Try again! Villiger (a swiss bike brand) Mountain Bikes a micro-niche? You are getting closer - now take out those laser scalpels and take it to an even smaller level! Red Villiger Mountain Bikes for Women between 32 and 34 with brown hair (the ladies, not the bikes) that fancy drinking peach-flavoured jasmine tea during golden lit autumn afternoons while watching season one of Matlock? Bravo!

Twitter Epiphany ... and Stephen Fry
Just finished watching all the Preseason videos about Twitter.
Eureka! At last I finally know what that whole thing is about. Up to this point I considered Twitter being as useful and meaningful as a 3 inch hole in your kneecap.
To my shame it never appeared to me to look over the edge of the 'What are you DOING now?' concept.
Now I finally realize that it really is about 'What are you THINKING'. The idea to have a cloud of thoughts out there, ready to be read, ready to be inhaled ... utterly flabbergasting me.
Oh, and Stephen Fry is on Twitter as well ... I absolutely love Stephen Fry. I love love love him. Did I mention I love Stephen Fry?

Day 1 - Twitter, Blog, Forum, and what not
I just got my first mail with instructions on what to do. Apparently I am outside the live event (it happend back in August it seems), and so being asked to prepare for pre-season learning material is a little odd.
Be it as it may, having only a few minutes left before it is way past midnight again I only watched two pre-season training videos: UStream introduction and a VERY nice video about KIVA - I love organizations like Kiva and I am positively suprised to see ThirtyDayChallenge supporting Kiva.

Just joined ThirtyDayChallenge.com
I just joined http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/ and decided to start a blog about my progress.
It looks like I am going to get an e-mail every day containing homework. So I will try my best to keep this blog going at that exact rate.
