A few months ago I was on the phone to a friend of mine and said “The questions you ask yourself define your reality”. My friend then introduced me to the work of Dr John Demartini. A few things surprised me when I read the information on his website. The first was that he actually sounded a lot like me, so I knew he must be a good, highly intelligent guy.
The second surprise was that he was one of the people featured on “The Secret”. Now… you know what I think about that film. And there seemed to be a disconnect between the stuff I read on Demartini’s site and what I remember from the film (it’s been a year since I saw it).
Then, in a “synchronicity” moment (one of Demartini’s favourite words), Dr Peter Ellyard introduced me to author Liliane Grace (her podcast, based on her book “The Mastery Club“, will be starting on TPN soon) and who should have written the introduction to her book?? Dr John Demartini.
So I asked for an introduction, had my people call his people, and today I got to chat with him from his hotel in Seattle.
Listen to how he separates his work from the mumbo-jumbo of “The Secret” and his tips for figuring out how to get the most out of your life.
You can find out more about his books and seminars on his website (link) and you can get a free CD with more information on the “Demartini Method” by clicking on this link:

Duncan Riley, founder of “The Blog Herald, co-founder of b5 Media, and presently a writer for TechCrunch, joins TPN today with his new podcast “On The Pod“.
On The Pod features guests that might otherwise not have a high profile yet have something interesting to say. The topics vary from Web 2.0, through to Tech and general politics including labor issues and topical events. On The Pod aims to provides something different amongst the swarm of podcasts, great listening fodder for the commuter or frequent traveler.
If you know Duncan’s work, you’ll be aware that he is known for his particular “take no bullshit” style, so I can’t wait to hear his interviews! His first episode features an interview with serial blogger, David Krug.

Yesterday, after the Telstra “social communications roundtable”, a few of us were treated to a live demo of a Cisco Telepresence unit Telstra have installed at their offices.
This photo (and the others here) don’t do it justice, but basically you have a half a boardroom table up against a wall which has three large flat screen panels which carry the images of the people sitting on the other side of the call. It’s designed so you would swear they are sitting on the other side of the table. It’s truly amazing. I want one in my home.

This is a major blow to the American record companies and to the World Trade Organisation who thought it could bully Russia into doing it’s bidding. Will allofmp3 be back?

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — A Russian court found the former boss of music download Web site www.allofmp3.com not guilty of breaching copyright on Wednesday in a case considered a crucial test of Russia’s commitment to fighting piracy.
The allofmp3.com Web site angered Western music companies by undercutting the price of downloads in deals they said breached copyright law.
Denis Kvasov, head of MediaServices which owned the site, was put on trial after entertainment companies EMI Group Plc, NBC Universal and Time Warner Inc. pressed for a prosecution.
“The prosecution did not succeed in presenting persuasive evidence of his involvement in infringing copyright law,” said judge Yekaterina Sharapova.

Hey folks! It’s been an interesting week as those of you following my Twitter feed already know. I just thought I’d give you a few updates.
I know I haven’t put out a show since last week and that’s mostly because I’ve been trying to focus on selling some advertising this month. However, I do have a few interviews in the can and I will get them up over the next week or so. They include video interviews with some folks I met at the X MEDIA LABS event in Melbourne last week (including UK film director Shekhar Kapur) and Ryan Trainor, one of Australia’s youngest serial entrepreneurs.
And over the next couple of days I’ve got interviews scheduled with Dr John Demartini, an American motivational speaker and author (who was one of the people featured in the film “The Secret”), and a special edition I am producing on the state of broadband in Australia which will feature interviews with senior executives from a number of leading Aussie ISPs.
So stick around.

For those of you who were following my Twitter posts last night about my borked PC, I managed to fix it at 2am after FIVE HOURS working on it. It started crashing repeatedly yesterday morning after Windows Update installed somethings. I did a System Restore around midday which seemed to fix it, but then Windows Update ran again (!) and the 2nd time System Restore wouldn’t fix it. So last night I spoke to IBM support, they were clueless, and I had to nut it out myself. After five hours spent upgrading the BIOS, drivers, and everything else I could think of, I finally had a brainwave to unplug all of my USB hubs and try booting. HURRAH! It worked. Turns out, Windows was crashing due to a problem Windows Update caused with an external USB soundcard which had been working JUST FINE for the last six months thank you very much Microsoft.

Could a couple of jets crashing into the WTC in NYC on 9/11 bring them down? No, said Frank Demartini. Who was he? Only the Manager, WTC Construction and Project Management. Watch this video interview he did in Jan 2001 where he says he thinks a couple of jets could fly into WTC and they would still stand. The great irony? Demartini died on 9/11.

You work hard, you raise your family, and you try to do the best you can.

You know life has to be about more than making a living, taking care of the kids and accumulating more stuff. But when it comes to the big issues facing the planet, you wonder: What difference could I possibly make? The answer: Plenty. If enough of us take even small actions, the difference we can make is huge. It’s a tough world out there. Join hosts Scott Sherman and Cameron Reilly and help us make it a better one.

So this morning I went to MSY, a wonderful el-cheapo PC components store, to get a new scanner and miniSD card. I arrived 30 minutes early, was sitting in my car listening to Ewan’s Edinburgh Fringe podcast, and twitted that I was sitting out the front of MSY in Pascoe Vale. Who should come walking past my car five minutes later but Jonathan Wrigley, to invite me over to his place for coffee. Jon lives just around the corner from MSY and saw my twitter! Keep an eye on this site – Xero – Jon’s new computer store is opening in Melbourne soon and from what he tells me this morning, it’s going to be a unique kind of concept store for Melbourne.

I installed this pocket pc application yesterday and I’m loving it. So much friendlier than the native experience. Works on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC, Windows Mobile 6 Classic or Professional device. Any other good pocket pc app recommendations out there?
Spb Mobile Shell introduces the next generation user interface while keeping all advantages of a Windows Mobile device. It is the first program a Pocket PC user needs to install. It dramatically improves the standard user interface and adds features that most users expect from a modern PDA phone.

Henry Blodgett “runs the numbers” on why a major newspaper, like the NY Times, is screwed as it tries to move its business online. I’ve said this over and over during the last couple of years, but Henry has more cred, so from now on I’ll just quote him instead.
|
Revenue drops by more than half, 40%-50% of employees get fired, and
the company still loses money. Using the NYT’s Q2 numbers and these
assumptions, for example, revenue would have dropped from $789 million
to $285 million. More importantly, EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization) would have dropped from $118
million to -$64 million. Which means that management would just be
getting ready to fire a few hundred more people.
