About Me


I suppose since you are looking at the "about me" section of my profile then you obviously want to know a little bit about me.
If you don't already know, my name is Benoit (but you can call me Ben). I am 28 years old and I live in the sunny Florida. The area is pretty sweet, except for the hurricanes. I am French and I am from Limoges (do not wonder where is it?). I like social activities, creative things, graphics and design, movies, history and too many things (that's my #1 problem in life).
I am a proud Virgo, so according to the stars, I prefer to take care of others, and I'm a perfectionist. I also have a strongly advanced analytical mind, apparently, I ain't gonna deny that one!
I have to be busy and I can not see how anyone can ever be bored. For my 21 years old birthday, I created my first company. Today, I own a consulting company based in the US and I work for different organizations.
I am married to the most wonderful woman. She is amazing and means the absolute world to me.
My Maxime : Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact. - Henry James -
Serial Blogger : Since 5 years, I am blogging about my life, interests, to keep in touch with my friends, improve my professional networks.
Eye Tracking, The Lab : EyeTracking, web credibility...
Update Your Vision : Webdesign, graphic design...
Citizzen : Buzzmarketing, captology, word-of-mouth...
Petits Coins : Hot Spots, the perfect drink, hidden tables...
My wedding : Before, During and After (sorry, no video of the wedding night)
PlanBTV : The last one, my video-blog
Networking : Keep in touch! I believe in the 6th degrees separation theory.
Linkedin
Viadeo
Xing

My other spaces : Personnel pages, forums, mashups...TagWorld
Facebook
Google Pages
MySwamp : Private forum. Request an invitation!
My favorite places : Miami, Hong Kong, Malta. There's also many small places that I like a lot like the french regions of the Bretagne and the Provence, but also Chattanooga in Tennessee (this city rock!)...
Miami Downtown and his skyline. The food, the weather , the music, the sea... Everything is amazing here. A piece of heaven and my new home.
Each of my trips to HK is an unbelievable story. I know the island since a long time ago. I am a huge fan of Hong Kong movies since I was a kid. Two of my friends work there as screenwriters and filmmakers. HK never sleep and the skyline view from Victoria Harbour is breathtaking. There's so many places that I like there. Mongkok, Lan Kwaï Fong, the Victoria Peak...
To escape from the noise and the rythme of those big cities, Malta is my favorite secret garden. In the middle of the mediterranean sea, the island is a perfect retreat for amators of history, landscaping, scuba diving and seafood.
My favorite cocktail: I really like Martini's coktails, but under the sun of Florida, I die for a real Cuban Mojito. - 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces)
- 4 mint leaves
- 1 sprig of mint
- Bacardi white Rum (2 ounces)
- 2 ounces club soda or champagne for a Royal Mojito
My favorite food : The French food is the best, don't matter what! Nothing can beat a "Foie Gras à la Poëllée" or a "Coq au Vin"... I also like the Spanish Paëlla, Jumbalaya from New Orleans, Greek Kebabs from Limoges, asian food, and sea food from all over the world.
I drive a myth : I am pretty lucky. I like cars, sports car in particular. I fall in love with the Ford Mustang when I was a kid (thanks to Bullit). I am pretty lucky because it is very difficult to have a car like that in Europe. I own a 2007 V6 Mustang, and it is a pleasure to turn on the engine every day.
My radio and what I am listening those days : Pop-rock, indie... and a surprise at the end of the playlist. Enjoy!.
I'm never content with whatever I'm working on. Aesthetically, anything I tweak is a direct reflection of my personality and tastes. Consider this profile - which I dub derkilicious - an ever changing work in progress.
Oh! By the way, I hate Myspace. It was a cool tool 2 years ago. I am tired of the ads, the fake friends, crappy bulletins, transparent layouts, narcissistic scene kids... And Guess what? Jessica Alba is not your friend! Also, stop thinking that TYPiNG LI3K THiZ MAK3Z U LOOK KEWL! People add EVERYONE to their friend list to boost their shitty self esteem. Hey, I have an idea... Go outside. Meet some real people. Your life will be so much better.
I only made an account because I got sick of being nagged by friends about not having a Myspace, to be more connected with them and to share news with people who have the same interest as me.
If you still want to add me as your friend, you can still risk that I deny you.
Also! I don't like people who spams or posts crap big photos. I already know how to make a million dollars, get heaps of chicks and do not want any ringtones or profile trackers, so forget me, please!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Chewbacca, George W Bush (I have on or two things to discuss with him), Kurt Cobain (shout, too late), Axel Rose (at least, he's still alive), Chow Yun Fat (the coolest guy on earth), Santa Clauss, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Walter Scott, Web Gurus...
