No mate, Low Down Dirty is the first track (after the skit) on his 97 SLIM SHADY EP.

One of my fav Napoleon quotes is "Glory may be fleeting but obscurity is forever." I have that on a t-shirt. People wanting to learn more about Napoleon should check out my podcast "Napoleon 101".

Great history Dom, thx for taking the time to share it.

Thanks for that tip! Works on my Nokia 6210 as well.

I dont think things are that disastrous. We'll be back up with most of our content in a matter of days to a week, if everything goes well. The joys of trying to bootstrap a business.

Ummm they haven't engaged me as an "adviser", just to produce some podcasts for telstraenterprise.com.

Yeah it always seemed to me, even before I quit my corporate job to start my own thing, that the whole "work/life balance" concept was a bit wonky. Even when I was doing the corporate drain rat thing, my work *was* my life, at least for 80 waking hours a week. I quit, started a media company, and for the last four years have worked from home, loving every minute of it. Your book has made it even more fun, so thanks Tim. I've outsourced about 10 hours a week to my VA and it's exciting. I can now use that time to focus on bigger opportunities for the business rather than doing "busy" work.

You have to love a woman who goes out commando.

Eeeek! Maybe Shania is dead in the bedroom dept?

I love the Ms Pacman at the end! So bad its actually funny.

Actually, "cunt" is a term of affection in Australia, particularly if used as in "Howyadoingyaoldcunt?" as pointed out in this podcast from 2005 (http://gdayworld.thepodcastnetwork.com/2005/02/...).

Yeah I love mine too mate. Beautiful. Mine is #032.

I'm so disappointed by this. I've been waiting for a decent e-book reader for ten years and I thought Bezos would be the guy to deliver it. I was planning on buying a few of these, for myself, my family and friends. No sale now.

Hey Robert, like you I'm another ex-MSFT employee who recently moved to the Mac. I bought my first Macbook Pro about a month ago. And while I love the hardware design, and certainly don't hate OSX, I did a podcast recently saying how, after a few weeks of using it, I didn't see what the big fuss was about. I don't think OSX is that much different to Vista. Both have features the other doesn't. Both have their own problems. The funny thing I've found is that since buying my Mac, all of the Mac fanboys who have been ragging on me for years are now saying "oh yeah, lots of problems. This sucks (eg Finder), that sucks (dragging apps to Trash doesn't really delete the app), but give it SIX MONTHS, and you'll love it."

Again - I *LOVE* the hardware. Sweet as. But my feeling is that Microsoft have pretty much caught up on the OS front. Of course, on the MBP I can run both Vista and OSX, which perhaps gives it a slight advantage over my Lenovo desktop. Now I have the best of both worlds. Sweet hardware and two operating systems.

Yeah "putting yourself out there" is a good plan. Another one is a system I kind of invented on the Productivity podcast a year ago. We call it the Productivity Buddy system. Every Monday morning at 10am my productivity buddy and I have a scheduled phone call about how our weekly GTD review is going. And during the week, if I feel stuck, I can call him and spend ten minutes on the phone with him talking me down off the roof. If it works for AA, it can work for productivity too I figured.

Chris, I wrote almost the exact same post a year ago:

Since then I haven't really bothered much with Digg. You can't build a business model on 15 minutes of fame.

Why do we call a carpenter a carpenter then? Because he... carpents?

Anyway... my 2 cents:

aww shucks Thom. being included in a post with Metallica is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. :-) I loved that doco, totally hilarious.

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.

Jon & Chris, there isn't any speculation involved. The US flag was almost IDENTICAL to the BEIC flag. This can't be taken lightly. Especially in those days of yore, a flag was a symbol - of who you were as a people and what you stood for. And the Founding Fathers of the United States selected, as their first flag, the flag of the British East India Company, an extremely corrupt and malignant organisation. It begs the question - why? One minute they are dumping BEIC's tea into the water, the next they are taking their flag as their own? You can't easily dismiss it.

@Chris Cree
While I'm not going to claim the BEIC story is official history, it has always struck me as interesting that a new nation would adopt the flag of the company they were supposedly protesting against. When else in history has a country adopted the flag/logo/brand of a corporation? Why would a new country, founded in revolution, adopt the flag of the instrument of their recent oppression?
Again, I'm not taking potshots at American history, just asking what I think are interesting questions.

So it's actually a celebration of the day a corporation bought itself a country.

I hate to break it to you Chris, but it's my understanding that American "Independence" was mostly about the British East India Company deciding to buy itself a country to escape the pressures of regulation in England. It's a little understood fact that for the first 12 months of US "independence", your flag was actually the BEIC flag.

"Even" me? Sheesh Thom. Fair smack of the sausage mate. I started the world's first podcasting business. Gotta be worth more than an honorable mention! :-)

Scoble: Remember how MSN Beat ICQ? ICQ had more features. But MSN had a simpler, cleaner, interface.

Damn and here I was thinking MSN beat ICQ because they bundled the product into 400 million copies of Windows and integrated it into Hotmail.

I like Google Talk and would use it more if more people I knew used it. It's a good example of Metsalfe's Law in action.

I ROLFd when I read your comment about Lacey not telling you what he's doing. I was in an email discussion with him recently and I asked him if Google was coming out with a free Flight Sim (which for those who don't know was Steve's main product at Microsoft for a gazillion years). He didn't reply and I thought he was just behind on email until I read your post.

cheers
