FAQ

1. What’s with the crow?
   It’s a raven.
2. Ok. What’s with the raven?
   I’m so glad you asked. Ravens are fascinating birds. They are highly intelligent problem-solvers, able to fashion tools with their beaks. They can be trained to speak. Heck, they can even work children’s puzzles.

   The Raven is a symbol of intelligence and wisdom in many cultures.

   I have an affinity with the raven. It’s so smart, but at the end of the day, it’s still just a bird.

3. Yeah, but it still looks like a crow to me.
   Quoted from Wikipedia: “Apart from its greater size, the Common Raven differs from its cousins, the crows, by having a larger and heavier, black beak. Shaggy around the throat and above the beak, and a wedge-shaped tail. The species has a distinctive, deep, resonant prruk-prruk-prruk call, which to experienced listeners is unlike that of any other corvid. Its very wide and complex vocabulary includes a high, knocking toc-toc-toc, a dry, grating kraa, a low guttural rattle and some calls of an almost musical nature. In flight the feathers produce a creaking sound that has been likened to the rustle of silk.”

   How about that. “It’s unlike any other corvid.” Oh, I went there. Snap!

4. Well you can see a raven and I’ll see a crow.
   Your mom’s a crow.
5. Why are you only semi technical? I want to hire someone who is fully technical!
   Are you sure about that? As I talk about in my first blog post there are a lot of different types of technical and creative workers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. As a cowboy, I bring all of my creative skills to the table when I work on a technical project. As the world has become more and more data-centric, I think we are all called to be a little bit technical… or SemiTechnical. I think everyone has the potential to know just a bit about technology.
6. What kind of work do you do?
   I specialize in Email Marketing. I can help you with all areas of writing, designing, producing, deploying, and tracking an email campaign. I am also an Email Production ninja. Some clients just have me produce emails they have designed. I love this work.
7. How do you create an email campaign?
   Whenever I need an email campaign, I write the details down on a napkin and pass it do my wizard monkey sidekick. I have trained my monkey sidekick to magically create emails using his deep understanding of the cosmos and dark matter. My monkey wields ungodly powers that you mere mortals cannot fathom!!!!
