Could this be the biggest bait and switch in history?  The American public will be investors in asset backed securities!  Yeah right.  Now you will be investors in non-asset backed securities (unsecured debt) which can be walked away from and guess what?  Start the whole cycle over even worse, same core problem unresolved (primary residence market collapse) and the government will hit you for another $700B to buy (and control) more of the banks! 

Our first book on The $1 Book Co is selling well.   Get 'Zen to Done' for ONLY $1 and you can make $1,000,000+ by making referrals!  Also, first person to reach 1,000 referrals will win a Sony eBook Reader!

 

An interesting article by Paul Graham titled: 'Why to Startup a Company in a Bad Economy'.  Even Kevin Rose (digg founder) agrees.  Totally nails it and have doubts?  When do you think Microsoft and Apple started?

We have now launched The $1 Book Co. official web site with our first three books!  Two of the books are from Leo Babauta of the acclaimed blog Zen Habits.  The first book is a lifestyle book by Leo, Zen to Done, which we launched privately to our Facebook group yesterday.  The second book is Jeff Circle's Yes Drill Sergeant based on his experience in US Army basic training.  The third book is the Handbook for Life by Leo which rounds us through the end of the year.  We are lining up several other new books for 2009 and hope to move the model forward in Q2!  By the way, did I mention you can earn significant income when you buy and refer our books?

Sad but true, the Vegas of the Middle East Dubai is not.  As previously posted, the couple caught making out on a beach has been jailed for three months!  As reported in my previous post, it would seems you only get two of the big three in Dubai (Gambling, Alchohol; Not Sex).

Its been a while since I was back in the home state, but the family and I are going back for a week+!  Chic-fil-a, Melvin's, good Mexican food, the beach, etc.!  It's going to be a long trip, but we are iPod'd up with movies for the kids!

As seen on www.250things.com, The $1 Book Co. lunched its BETA site this week.  See more at: http://250things.com/post/The-241-Book-Co-Launches-BETA-Site.aspx

 

I have not been as excited about an internal micro project idea since teloomia.  I think we have a unique product offering with this venture and hope to help many peole along the way.  Visit 250things.com for the launch welcome and keep an eye out for more announcements later this week!

Later today I will be announcing a new venture idea that is very close to launch.  This Web 2.0/Social site will allow people to contribute and participate in a process that shares their ideas and be rewarded for participating in the creation and distriubtion of their thoughts!

 

I stumbled on to Skype 4.0 BETA while doing some research for teloomia this week.  Call quality seems better on this end, but the new layout sometimes is more complicated than it needs to be.  Once you get used to it and find the fetures you use, its ok.
