Check This Out. Wanted 98% More Dead Than Alive!
2007-09-27 16:00:00 Ever hear the story about the man who was convinced that he was dead? He actually told his family, “I think I’m dead.” This disturbed his wife and children, so they sent him to a doctor. The doctor carefully explained that if he had a heartbeat, he would have blood pressure. Therefore, if he could ... More About: Business , Product , Check , Dead , Wanted
Costa Rica Update
2007-09-26 04:11:00 We had planned on taking a canopy tour today. That didn’t happen. I had been developing a cough for the last week or so. I went to a doctor yesterday. He prescribed medicine.

CD Baby Update
2007-09-25 17:00:00 Last Tuesday, I spoke with Dylan of CD Baby for about 30 minutes. He seems like a nice guy and is apparently in charge of the CD Baby record label.

What Is So Secret?
2007-09-23 05:02:00 At Tabacon, Aaron asked me why I got a Costa Rican driver’s license.

Is Hype Good?
2007-09-20 15:47:00 When you want to sell something you need to explain the benefits of what you offer.

I Need Your Ideas
2007-09-18 20:01:00 I’m offering a prize worth $10,000 for the best idea (in my opinion). Let’s say I had the opportunity to get a CD in record stores nationwide. It had to be an audio CD.

CD Baby Update
2007-09-14 05:49:00 CD Baby is still incommunicado with one exception. Scott Lewis wrote that he was putting my page in “out of stock” status because he didn’t have any more tracking numbers. Huh?

More articles from this author:2007-08-30 17:52:00 Many of you warned me that the CD Baby contest was probably rigged when you first encountered a page refusing your order.
