"It's no secret that I love Amazon. Some people do not, but look: look at the incredible wealth of knowledge that's there in addition to the books. Knowledge contributed by mere mortals, like you and... well, I was going to say me, but nevermind. I'm going to quote this reader review of The Civilization of the Goddess in toto. It's that germane. It's that good. Rose Nunez, I love you."

jeff,
dude
we'd be BETTER TOGETHER ;-)

Amazon needs a blog.

or 10,000 blogs. but we could start with just the one.

as it happens, I need a gig.
desperately. and I'm good at this stuff. I love it.

plus, I know more about Amazon than most people on the planet. I live in it. Amazon is one of the few companies I can even imagine working with.

I'd like to show you some of the things I've been up to lately -- with a view toward what I could do for you...

this is my book-in-progress.
I hope you'll be selling it soon. if you click on the screen shot, you'll see that most of the links are my references -- all on Amazon.

Items you own (1494)

why do you think I'm broke?
crack would be cheaper.
Here's an Amazon page where I listed some of the resources I've used to research the next book. It's called...

So you'd like to... protect yourself from the Mystic Bourgeoisie

Heh. Was a lot of fun putting it together. I just pointed 4,000+ readers at it.

I built and maintain this blog for HighBeam Research. It has more links to Amazon than it does to HighBeam.

this is close to what I'd like to create for you. so many cool things Amazon is doing, but nobody really gets it yet. I can change that.

this is EGR, my original blog. it's been around in one form or another since 1995. I remember watching Amazon first come online. who knew back then what a ride this'd turn out to be...

every day for years now it's been like oh man, what ?

Her Maj would quite approve  
so whaddya say?


all it takes is money
place 10,000 in small unmarked bills in a plain
brown paper bag. you will get a call...

ps: doc searls made me do this. blame him.

seriously, it'd be a ball to put up an Amazon blog and tell the world about the amazing things Amazon does that simply can't be done elsewhere, on or offline. then maybe I could eat again, too.

thnx. lemme know...
