Ted Talks Inspires
I’m listening to Tony Robbins, David Pogue, and Sir Ken Robinson on Ted Talks. Amazing quality of production and great ideas.
David Pogue is a New York Times reviewer geek who plays the piano and. He sings hilarious songs like this one about Bill Gates: I Write the Code that Makes the Whole World Run (I’m getting profit from everyone). It’s sung to the tune of I Write the Songs by Barry Manilow.
David recommends a voice recognition software package called Dragon Naturally Speaking. They don’t have an affiliate program so you cannot tip me for this free advice (there’s a new definition of affiliate marketing: Affiliates are like online waiters who get tips for good recommendations). It even has macros.
If I used this program to blog I’d be a better speaker and writer. Because the way you speak and write are different. I like to make them match so my writing really is my own unique voice.
I hope every speaker at UTech will shoot for this level of quality. If we succeed at teaching people what they need to learn and entertain them doing it. They will come back and we’ll all do well.
Many very intelligent people aren’t good at conveying their ideas in a compelling, accessible, and entertaining way. I’m certainly not (that is why I’m writing). I have for pretty small groups for ideas I really believe in.
These are some of the great minds of our world. I highly recommend you listen.

Janet,
You keep coming up with all this incredible information. As John Reese says do a brain dump then put everything in an ebook and sell it. I’d buy it.

Paul,
If I wrote an ebook of my ideas what would I call it? The contents of My Head? I’m a big John Reese fan BTW. I do want to write an ebook but at this point I’m not sure I’m ready. There’s a lot of mediocre ebooks on Clickbank and I would want to be sure mine is not one of them.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
Janet
