I just had my first Facebook FML – I guess it had to happen sooner or later. I went to high school with Rachel.
Dan Kennedy Information Marketing
Just got off of conference call with Dan Kennedy where he discussed his A to Z marketing strategy and his info summit. Just like most info marketers he gave some real information, held back some of the finer points and then introduced his product.
For those of you who missed the call here is the Dan Kennedy formula for creating a successful info product.
ap + ql + mf + rr + ci + wn = Big $
Seems simple right?
Why is there a perfect picture of Joe Wilson shouting?
I read a really interesting article that did make me say – Huh! Why is that.
I like most Americans watched the Obama speech and the outburst was anything other than expected. Its something that has never happened in the hundreds of years of the Congress so why was there a “perfect photograph” of the moment? The outburst was just a second, how exactly did this picture get created? Was it a lucky moment or perhaps something more sinister?
You Lie! – Joe Wilson Read it for yourself.
The Tough Enonomy is Invading the Schools
Lisa gave me the most amazing birthday present ever she enrolled me in Machine Shop Basics for some personal development. I have always wanted to learn how to run a lathe and a mill, I love the feel of metal, the clean lines and the glimmer of stainless steel.
SO I get there today and there are 90 people crowding around a small classroom listening to the instructor talk about the vocational training that City College offers. She spoke about Electronics Assembly, Electronic Testing and Machine Shop. She mentioned that this was the largest group that she had ever seen in her years of working for the district and that spaces were limited.
She asked for a show of hands on how many people were planning on the machine shop class and about 30 people put their hands up. Now this was really the most motley crew you have ever seen, people of ever age and every walk of like united by the one reality – that they needed a skill to get a job. Man, there were people there with some hard luck stories, people who needed bus tokens to get to school and subsidized textbooks.
