This is not good.

What is this government so afraid of? people talking about the things they are doing with our counrty.

It's no secret that i love my Mac.  I have been using it for about 6 months and continue to be amazed at the power of this lovely tool and its applications.  I use many different desktop widgets with varying degrees of utility but this latoes one blows me away.

CallWave has developed a truly innovative and useful solution for information workers or anyone who spends any time on a computer.   Basically an online voice mail service, they have created apllications that run as Mac widget or PC app to track and provide access to calls and messages to your cell phone.   You get caller ID style lists of who calls and a convenient play button next to the call if the caller left a voicemail.   

I use CallWave with my iPhone seamlessly.  It only requires that you change the missed call redirect from the standard one given by your service provider to the CallWave voicemail system.  You will also want to change the settings for your 'check Voicemail' quick dial.  Callwave will also send a text message to your phone when someone leaves a message telling you who left it and how long the message is.

My phone only tracks the 10 most recent calls, this tracks indefintely, and messages are stored with the caller for as long as you like.

Mac Power!

What podcasts do you guys listen to?  

I just inherited a healthy commute and need some good pre and post workday aural stimulus.

Click the link for "Make a Blidget." 

Follow the instructions to paste your Zaadz blog URL in and customize the look. 

It has an auto place for mySpace and several other major blog services or you can copy/paste manually.

You may know that I have been 'between projects' for several weeks after leaving Integral Institute.  You may not know that I took this opportunity to rest inward and realign my deepest purpose towards my near and distant future.  This time was hugely rewarding in many ways, not the least of which was a profound sense of direction and drive.

This drive must have sent a pulse through the cosmos, as things fell into place for me in unexpected ways.  I never had a sense of panic or urgency, despite financial strains and habitation challenges.  This is perhaps a gift of my 'middle-class' surroundings and upbringing, i always knew that i had survival needs covered no matter what.  In any case, it was a new experience and not unpleasant. 

Rich cordially invited me to stay in his extra room, in his gorgeous, eco-friendly foothills house(thus the view.)We shared amazing conversation about life, the universe, and everything over daily pots of Yerba Mate tea.  Good times. 

I intensified focus on my physical practices, with Jason in the gym, and Keith and Rich on the mountain.

My latest good fortune is the invitation to help Shawn Phillips and his team working on Full Strength nutrition. 

This is in perfect alignment with my purpose right now and these guys are amazing.  Expect to hear a lot about it from me in the coming weeks.  Full Strength will help change the world!

High Performance Fast Food!  Imagine ordering one of these at the drive-through window.  Talk about super size!


Living strong,

Duff has posted and amazingly helpful tool for implementing and mastering David Allens GTD porductivity system.  Even more inspiring is that Duffs little work of genius has sparked a Tipping Point buzz in the GTD community. 

Duff is a productivity powerhouse and a life coach, I have a session scheduled with him this sunday.  He pulls from a diverse knowledge base in his practice from Integral Theory, to life coaching principles to, of course, GTD.  His energy is contagious.

Keep on rockin Duff!

I have a consistent, 3 day a week strength training regimen, and the requisite weekend warrior snowboarding, hiking, etc on the weekends.  Over the past year i have brought a lot more conscious awareness to my eating habits, experimenting with variations of vegetarian diets, rice only meals, cutting out caffine and more.   I started enjoying Full Strength shakes 4 months ago as a way to fuel my strength training. 

I have been helping Shawn Phillips and company for the last couple weeks with some marketing projects.  In that time, I have increased my consumption on Full Strength from 1 shake a day to the recommended 2 a day.
I have noticed my energy levels climing steadily and my training gains are very noticeable which is to be expected.  What i did not expect was the spiritual benefits i am experiencing  of late. 
I have noticed an unmistakable sense of centered-ness and clarity in recent weeks.  Now i realize there are an infinitude of variables contributing to this inner strength, not the least of which is discipline in my bodily health.  Meditation is calmer and just plain easier to rest into.  My sleep is deep and satisfying, and most rewarding, is an increase in my feeling of center in social and business situations.  Nothing synthetic or too out of the ordinary, just a consistent high performance. 
In studying the formula, i think a major contributor to this feeling is a non-essential amino acid called tyrosine.  Tyrosine is a precursor to important neuro-transmitters and also has function in the thyroid gland.  This little additive, on top of all the other nutrients in Full Strength, is helping to make my days super-charged.
This feels great.  I know i am the marketing dude here, but i am a true believer.  It makes my job easy when i am the biggest fan of the product i am working to promote. 
I am learning so much here about nutrition and training from Shawn and Rob.  They really aim to change the way the world eats.    There is even talk of a vegan formula down the road... ;)

Check out this great piece by one of my role models, Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips.

I just discovered a new applications for the web and cell phone that is going to revolutionize how we exchange money.  Obopay allows instant transfer of fundage from one person to another....USING YOUR CELLPHONE!
Why would i need to carry around cash,,ever,,really?  You are eating dinner with friends, the check comes, buddy x doesnt have the greenbacks...no worries, send me the money via Obopay and I'll cover it.

The natural progression here is commercial applications.  Can you imagine shopping at Whole Foods, get to the register,
"$16,450 dollars please."  
"no problem, what is the number for this register? "

text in the balance and boom, done.

its the way of the future.


PS    they have a very generous referral policy,,i am talking $5 bucks per!  This thing will spread like wildfire.
