Feb 10Where is my wusthof steak knife?
Yes, it has been awhile. My sister was in town, and my birthday… yada yada it has been 2 weeks.
This isn’t a recap of the bildr work I have been up to, this is actually more about something I have been thinking about for awhile and im going to try to tell the story.
It was almost a year ago, 3 friends and I are on our way to a Florida for spring break. Leaving mid-afternoon we planed to drive to our friend’s house and spend the night before we would jot down the rest of the way non stop.
That night we arrived at friends house to find that his sister, new to culinary school, would be cooking up some steaks for us. So sometime around 11pm we sat down to dinner, steak and and next to it, a new wusthof steak knife. I took my knife and sliced into the steak……….. For the first time in my life, I was able to slice the steak as thin as I wanted to, it was just so wonderful. The knife was so good that the steak dinner stopped being about food, and became all about the knife. The steak was great, but it’s not something Im still talking about almost a year later.
Once in a while I will use a product or a tool that just makes me stop and take notice.
So this is what I have been thinking about. When is the last time a software product wowed me this much? When was the last time the software was an actual pleasure to use, that you actually look forward to using?
