A focused, spirited and opinionated sharing of industry observations and perspectives, GonzoBanker has been labeled "hip and flip" by American Banker and "refreshing," "cool" and "irreverent" by many of our more than 13,000 readers.

Written by the Cornerstone team, GonzoBanker is our take - good and bad - on the technologies, vendors, strategies and ideas we come across in the trenches of the banking industry. A little disclaimer: GonzoBanker comes with very few rules of engagement:

1. These are our opinions, nobody else's.
2. No boring generalities (and hold us to that). Carl Faulkner, our Grand Pooh Bah for Technology, has written code that says the first time we type "change is constant" our PCs will self-destruct like one of those "Mission Impossible" messages.
3. Starting the occasional heated debate within the banking and vendor communities will not be our primary goal, but it will be a welcome bonus.
4. Opinions contrary to ours (e.g., "You're blowing smoke!") are welcome.
