Everything is speeding up!

I can count the days before receiving a brand new 15" MacBook Pro! My PowerPC based PowerBook has been incredible, but is missing the mark in many ways (hitting the mark in many others!). Video is practically unwatchable, and document creation, especially spreadsheets, can become a slog through the mud. With so many great programs available, which allows for multi-tasking while on Mac, I am opting for a lot of RAM, and a powerful video processor... and a Solid State Drive (SSD). This computer will last me years and, as I've read suggested, this may be the last laptop I ever own, as the iPad has certainly made its presence felt, and it certainly represents a diversion from the path maintained by portable computers for almost as far back as I can remember.

Since it's very likely that I will get the next iPhone to come out, I anticipate taking advantage of the video editing capability of the new MacBook Pro, using software from Boinx, Wiretap Pro, iMovie, YouTube and the like to create and distribute rich media content for distribution. Clipping articles with Evernote will become near instantaneous, and much more integrated into my workflow, and database software like Bento has been calling out to me.

Who's using the iPhone, iPad and MacBook to great effect in their network marketing business?

Are you using an iPad? The iPhone still feels like a revolution, to me... what would life on the iPad be like? 

I've read that over 1 million iPads have been sold, but I've yet to see one in the wild. Why is that? One person noted that he hesitates to bring his out because of the gawkers. Still, I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen one anywhere. Should I visit a coffee shop?

For the iPhone, I recently downloaded Amway's training application, for free. It's certainly good looking and the material is solid. Kudos Amway.

WebEx on the iPhone!

Evidence is mounting regarding the viability and sense of utilizing an iPhone in your personal business. Last week was the first time I was able to use Cisco's WebEx application for the iPhone and the experience was nothing short of awesome.

Picture this: standing in a parking lot chatting with friends when an email comes to your phone notifying you that webinar is beginning in a few moments; you tap on the phone number in the email and the number I automatically dialed; return to the email and tap on the link that automatically opens the webinar and you are now watching the presentation whilst listening to the call. And, you're still in the parking lot talking to friends (you've muted your line).

Positive feedback...

Last night, as a result of facebook, I connected with an old high school friend. He is currently involved in research regarding the toxins and the immune response if the body. In brief summary, he suggested that Omega 3 is good for you, red meat is not so good for you and making fruits a part of your long term diet would be a good idea.

Total Wellness includes nutritional supplementation, to compliment healthy choices and to protect against the toxic environment that nearly all of us are succeptable to. Omega Green+DHA is derived from plant sources, relieving a person from the increased stress and toxicity caused by fish harvesting. The drawback with typical omega supplements is that they are derived from fish oils. Toxic materials are increasingly being reported in various species that are used. In addition, harvesting fish for their omega-rich oils is not environmentally sound. The required processing also results in oxidation, which diminishes the amount of omega acids available and can hasten the spoilage of this material.

In contrast, the source material for Kenzen Omega Green + DHA, cranberry seed oil, flax seed oil and red algae, is easily sustainable. Obtaining omega fatty acids from these flora does not produce the oxidation that occurs with piscine oils.

When I am looking for a solution from a company that takes Wellness seriously and stays in step with the best research and practices, I look to Nikken.

Incredible!

To your health,

Graham

Incredible!

I am figuring all of the capabilities of the iPhone and how much easier and incredibly more enjoyable it is to use than my previous Mobile PC phones. The power of this phone is nothing short of amazing! So, here is my first mobile post!

Everything is so easy...

Tonight, I've e-filed my taxes and I must say that it was the easiest filing of my life! Can the internet keep getting more and more easy to use? I suspect so. Already, so much promise has come of it that I am ceaselessly impressed. For my filing, I went to Intuit's TurboTax where they were able to grab my W-2 information for me directly from ADP. 

The feeling for me is one of freedom. Even if I could argue against myself, digging up Big Brother fears, etc... it seems that technology today really is making life easier, contrary to a few years ago when tasks that should have been easier with computers seemed more difficult and more of a hassle. 

How times are changing...

Peace,
Graham
