Design, design, design. It seems any business publication you read these days are talking about it. And for good reason – good design is what is setting the best products, services and websites apart from everything else.

Whenever design comes up, I always think of Tom Peter’s book Re-Imagaine and his chapters on design. To keep his mind focused on design, Tom carries a notebook with him and writes down design elements of things he likes or dislikes.

Cool idea, huh?

I thought about keeping a notebook of my own, but since I manage to pack my pockets with a ton of random stuff, I really don’t have room for it. But if I did, I can tell you what would be my #1 entry would be. The BMW M5.

If you ever see an M5, take a minute and really look at it. It is beautiful.

Oh yeah, and if anyone wants to give me an M5 to, uh, test drive…or blog about or whatever. Feel free to drop it off at my place anytime. :)
