Dear Apple,
I love your app “Cards” for my iPhone. I have used it a few times and it makes creating customized cards for my family and friends very easy! Plus, I don’t even have to go to the Post Office! Score!
But I do have one suggestion – hell, you can even steal this idea, I don’t care.
You need to add the ability to send a card with an iTunes/AppStore/Apple gift card inside. Did I just blow your mind? Did I just bring you one or two million bucks in one sentence? Maybe!
To me, you are leaving “money on the table” from people such as myself who would like to send cards to my four iPod Touch toting nephews with a gift card.
Also, keep up the good work!
Love,
J.B.

Last week’s Fresh Friday entitled “The Benefits of Soulless Work” was a quick and dirty plea for passion in your life. It ruffled a few feathers on LinkedIn who dismissed it as idealism. These individuals believed that I was discussing menial tasks that we are all subjected to in our jobs as the ‘soulless’ work. I can see how they were mistaken, but I am advocating following your passion in any way possible. I believe idealism has power and it should be encouraged. Design idealism would be taking on big tasks, thinking big within the constraints of budget and scope. In essence ‘taking everything you do to the next level’… even those “menial” tasks. I am proud to be a positive thinker, someone who will never give up on my passions and my dreams. I believe all should be encouraged to follow passion, regardless of the final outcome, because if you pursue something that makes you happy that can only lead to great things.
What are the benefits of “soulless” work? Ya know the work I am talking about – mind-numbing or missing any passion. You do it for a paycheck, not for the love. What are the real benefits of this type of work over the long run? My answer might surprise some of you… but keep reading to understand what I mean…
