February was a good month all around! The best part was a call I got from the VMWare folks telling me I had been the winner of an iPod Touch that was the premium for filling out a user survey for VMWare Fusion for the Mac.

What’s VMWare Fusion? It’s a virtual machine application that lets me run Mac OS AND Windows XP at the same time! I love my Mac but didn’t want to part with some of the Windows apps that I’ve used for years. Now I have two machines on my desk – virtually! With an external monitor, it even looks like two machines.

Winning something like this means that someone is going to call and ask about the application in question. Here’s the conversation Dave Kazanjy and I had from the VMWare Team Fusion blog. What’s really nice is that I really do appreciate and use the application, no “marketing fluff” here. Just the facts, ma’am!

Some nice comments from “PrintWorthy Advice,” a blog written by Marc Fors, Managing Director, Prospect Smarter, for the print sales professional. While I blush a little, here’s what he had to say:

And then it occurred to me… if you really want an education on all things print, the trends, the pioneers, the buzz, and the new technology ..and you need to do in order to get up to speed quickly is to grab about 10-15 of the PDF articles on WTT (WhatTheyThink.com) written by Gail Nickel Kailing, Cary Sherburne, or Barb Pellow or ones on their own websites. Save yourself a cool $100K and skip a meeting with the big name consulting groups. What all three of these people have in common is the ability to convey complex issues in a clear manner, they are on top of their industry, on top of their game and willing to share expertise.

(Then he says…)

A round of applause please for these three oracles of print.

I’ve never been called an “oracle of print” before!
