About

Anja Merret lives in Brighton, UK, having moved across from South Africa just over three years ago.

She now looks after the business interests of her daughter who is a Flash Developer and Accessibility expert. Details of the company are at www.jadehopper.com.

She started a blog at the beginning of the year under the heading of chatting to my generation. Although she is chatting to the baby boomer generation, she sometimes feels that all generations have the same issues to face, they just don’t have hearing aids or walking sticks!

One of her pet peeves is the war in Iraq and in fact anything that causes innocent people to get hurt. But she also loves tech stuff, although only as an amateur. She considers herself a Silver Surfer Gadget Geek. She is even considering queuing for an iPhone in the UK later on in the year. But her daughter has offered, so she will only be taking hot food to the Brighton Geeks waiting in line.

Her general musings may be found on this blog. Her observations on personal power and self-development may be found on http://www.pinkblocks.com.

She recently set up a new blog at http://marketingfundi.com to provide advice and info for people who wish or need to start their own small business. During times of recession, with people being retrenched and unable to find new jobs, it might be a consideration to become and independent business person.
