I've been an IT professional for the better part of the last 20 years and have worked in organizations as large as IBM and as small as a 5 person office. I've been a gamer for most of my life starting out with my Atari 400 as a kid and ending up at my current gaming PC. In my career and my gaming I have a low tolerance for BS which includes marketing hype, bad engineering and excuses. Time's a precious commodity and I'd prefer not to waste it so I have a few tenets: I don't believe that new necessarily means better. "New" is a marketing term, I don't trust marketers. You can't do your best if you don't care about what you do. You can't escape it, if you hate what you do it'll catch up with you and success will be forever fleeting. Don't waste time being miserable. You'll be old and infirm soon enough so why try to speed up the process?! Speak your mind or you'll never be heard. Tact is important but don't let it blur your message.
