Personal Business Card
I recently ordered a new set of personal business cards from VistaPrint using their online design service:
One thing you cannot easily tell from the image above is that the horizontal red line underneath my name is done in red foil on the physical card. The foil effect looks really – really – cool. (And, through the transitive property of equality, makes the cardholder look cool.)
My primary reason for having a personal card is that when I am out at events, I am representing myself, not my employer. I want to promote the Shad Aumann brand: blogger, IT leader, MBA guy, social networking guy, photographer guy, skier guy, golfer guy, public speaker. Maybe I just should have put all that on the card!

Good idea, personal brand is very important, and like how you have shadit.com/info redirected to your linked profile. Looking forward to seeing how the foil turns out.
