There are few things that irritate me more than an e-mail full of staccato!  In fact, many e-mail format faux pas drive me bonkers.  Please understand that I am not a formatting/courtesy snob.  I'm every bit as obstreperous as the next guy, and I don't think that society should hand down dainty decrees to govern what and how I say things in e-mails.  I think that different relationships, agendas and media call for different levels of formality.  However, I also have a healthy respect for teleology; I'm a designer for crying out loud!  The purpose of an e-mail is usually communication, and a poorly structure format rarely communicates the right message.

Albany CEO has been kind enough to do some interviews with me in the past.  I thought it might be a good idea to start sharing some of them on here as well.  You can access the video and full transcripts here or take a look at some of my other articles and videos.

Mac vs PC

I recently read a great little book by Wayne Grudem called Business for the Glory of God.  It's very short, but it touches on some very important issues for those living in a capitalist society.  Where as this book did not contain any earth shattering revelations that morphed my schema or flipped my world on its head, it did contain many key points that I had all but forgotten, never notice or simply ignored with the actual living of my life.  If this book didn't already have a subtitle, I would suggest it could be subtitled How to be a Christian Capitalist. Whether that is appealing to you or not, I think it would be a good read for anyone in the business world.  I'll take a moment to share my thoughts on the last chapter, "Effect on World Poverty."

Mac vs PCKnowing my personality and profession, many people are floored to find out that I don't use a Mac; I use a Dell.  I, however, am floored that this Mac vs PC debate has gone on for so long.  Why?  Not because I think that one is clearly better than the other.  I don't; I think both have their uses.  I am floored because the comparison itself is completely imbalanced.  In addition, most of the evidence is irrelevant.  I'm a Mac lover and a PC user, and this is my take on the whole debate.

Right now there is a quarter lying by the gas petal in my car.  I don't know how long it's been there or even when I last carried change, but there it is.  I noticed it about three weeks ago, and it's still there.  There was a time in my life when I would have picked up that quarter as soon as I noticed it ... while driving.  Now, it's something I probably won't do until the next time I clean out my car.  (Which reminds me: I need to clean out my car.)  I guess my personality has changed a bit over the years.  With my personality shift, I have begun to like different things.  I have begun to be reached, motivated and moved in different ways.  Because of all of these things I have begun to chose different brands.
