Okay, I know that calculators today are worth about 5 cents each. I don't even want to think about how much money I spent on my first TI scientific calculator in the 70's. That darn thing could add, subtract, multiply AND divide!! It was well worth the $500 investment. And it was a lot less work than the slide rule I had been using.
But I digress. Slap a calculator on just about anything and I am gonna buy it. I don't care what it costs. The fact that I can get a carabiner and calculator in the same device is important. When I am climbing up a mountain and need to calculate the acceleration speed of the rock falling towards my head, I am going to be pretty happy to have that calculator handy.
But today I found the perfect combination. A "Black n' Red" notebook with built in calculator. This notebook is the perfect size for carrying around and recording any mathematical theorems that pop into my head. It has a beautiful black hardbound cover that is nice and shiny with a beautiful red spiral binding. It didn't occur to me that black and red might be appealing because of its obvious accounting symbolism but that was an extra bonus. I also love the fact that the company has trademarked the unique visual appearance of the notebook. Who knew you could trademark something like that.
The appearance is nice but they had me at "calculator."

How to hire me.

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com  Archives
