Obey Francine

Francine asked to have her picture taken today. I had no choice but to obey her.

So master photographer Rodney Bursiel dropped by, set up movie set lights, moved me around like I was a super model, and then spent an hour taking some incredible shots.

Here’s one he just shared with me.
I look like I’m warning someone to stop ogling my woman.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. Rodney is a genius at turning an ordinary moment everyone else takes for granted into a masterpiece of symbol and power.

Or maybe I’m just glad to see another picture of Francine.

Ao Akua,

Gmail in Print?

Google just told me they will now print and mail any message in your gmail account – for free.

Whether you want a printed record of one message or an entire database of a thousand messages, Google will print and snail mail it to you, at no charge.

The plan is to print the selected messages on recycled paper, with ads on the back of each page. You won’t be able to hand these pages in at your next meeting but they will be useful for records and research.

I just checked my Google mail account and didn’t see the “print” button there. Maybe it’s not live yet. For more details see —

Long live Google.

PS – Of course, this whole thing could be an April Fool’s joke, too.

Guess the Quote

“______. That’s your job. That’s all you have to do.”

Gee, I wonder who said that?

And I wonder what word goes in that blank?

I’ll fill in the blank in a second, but first let me ask you a question —

Are you aware of Mark Joyner’s work?

(No, he didn’t say the above quote.)

He’s a genius at Internet marketing, but his life is all about something bigger.That guy is wired to make changes happen in the world. I think that’s all that matters for him, really. I think that becomes clearer and clearer to people each day as they watch what he does.

For example, he’s just written an extraordinarily profound book. Without question it’s the best thing he’s ever written. His last book I said was “the first marketing breakthrough in 50 years” and I meant it.

This new book has *nothing* to do with marketing.

Nothing.

It’s much bigger and much more important. It’s a dazzling exploration of the human mind – but one put so simply and elegantly that you’ll think you just watched a movie.

It examines the crazy bugaboos that can infect our minds and take us off the course of what we want.

This is stuff that should be taught in grade school, really, but isn’t.

It then teaches you how to get your head around the *actions* you need to take to get the things you want.

Does this surprise you?

One of the stars of The Secret talking about action?

It shouldn’t. Here’s a quote from the film. I know it’s right because the talking head that was up on the screen when these words came through was ME šŸ™‚

“The Universe likes speed. DonĀ“t delay. DonĀ“t second guess. DonĀ“t doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, ACT. ThatĀ“s your job. ThatĀ“s all you have to do.”

Mark’s “Simpleology” is all about speed and action.

The results people have been getting from it are nothing short of miraculous. Not only that, you’ll learn some pretty shocking and surprising stuff about how your brain works, how society is structured, and a lot more.

Some of this stuff is so fresh and new that you will have several jaw-dropping “what??? I didn’t know that!” moments in the quick single sitting it will take you to read this book.

And there are some new useful theories and models that may be looked back on as serious philosophical breakthroughs {there is some PhD thesis level new information in here that Mark dishes out ever-so-casually like candy on a dish – you may not even realize how revolutionary this stuff is while you are reading it – it’s presented so smoothly and in such a fascinating can’t-put-it-down way).

You can watch a heart-pounding video “trailer” for the book here:

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

You’ll get a ton of bonus goodies shipped to your e-door for buying, but you don’t need that. The book, alone, is one of your “must have” purchases this year.

In fact, buy a copy for every member of your family. It’s one of those “should have been handed out at the door way of life” rarities.

Remember that the universe loves speed … Go do this now before the next email comes in.

Serving Love

I love gadgets.

The smaller, the better.

The more powerful, the better.

The more unique, the better.

When my four-year-old Fujitsu Lifebook started to get too sluggish, I started thinking about a new one.

I love my Blackberry 8700C for getting email and answering phone calls, but trying to view web sites on it requires a microscope. I wanted one of those new ultra-light warp-speed too-cool “laptops” to carry on planes and use out by the pool.

I looked at the new 0q0 long and hard. It’s under one pound and does everything but transport me from here to your house. But the website is poorly done, the model is back ordered for almost three months, and the device isn’t much bigger than my Blackberry, anyway.

I then considered the new Fujitsu Lifebook P1610. It’s about 2 pounds and can come as a double-duty tablet screen PC as well as a regular screen Windows unit.

I also knew there are lots of other makes and models out there. Trying to decide which one to get for me was getting confusing.

I bought a few gadget magazines.

I poked around online doing research.

I even went into a retail computer store, which amazingly didn’t have a single ultra-light to show me.

“They’re all on our site,” the clerk told me.
Yea, but I’m in your store, I thought, and I have money in my pocket to spend right now.

So I wrote to Fujitsu and asked them which model they would recommend from their giant catalog of products.

I also wrote to Dynamism, a popular gadget site that’s been around for nine years. They specialize in selling Japanese products to the US market. I wanted to know what model they would suggest, too.

Fujitsu never replied.

That was over a week go and they still haven’t replied. Very disappointing. I was a Fujitsu customer and was all set to be one again. But they ignored me.

Dynamism wrote back quickly.

They suggested the Panasonic R6. It’s 2 pounds and has an 8 hour battery life.

I bought it.

It arrived yesterday. I had some questions about operating it, so I called Dynamism. They answered the phone every time. There was never a wait. Never put on hold.

And when I asked one tech guy there if I could ask a few more questions, he laughed and said, “You can ask me anything you like. I’m here for you.”

Last night Nerissa and I went out with our friend Mark Ryan. The Mississippi waitress who took care of us had off the charts high energy, Southern charm, and a smile that made my heart sing. We loved her and her spirit.

When we asked her what kept her so happy while she served people, she said, “I’m trying to make a small difference in people’s lives.”

She ended up sitting with us at our table, after dinner, and talking to us for almost an hour.

That’s service.

That’s love.

And whether it’s from a computer store or a waitress, we all want it.

Are you giving it?

PS — The picture above shows my new R6 along with a paperback book, a box of cigars, my Blackberry, the new Humbug DVD, and a can of soda. I don’t carry all of that around, of course. It’s simply there to give you perspective.
