Reporters & Book Promotion

I arrived at the office this morning about 9. At 9:45 a photographer showed up from the Raleigh News & Observer paper, followed shortly thereafter by a reporter. They were there to do an interview with me for next Wednesday's paper (www.newsobserver.com). Josh's hard work with the publicity campaign a few weeks ago finally paid off!

After the interview, I got to work redoing the book information section on www.zeromillion.com and contacting my book update list to ask for help in proofreading.

Within a matter of six hours, I received responses from 73 persons who were willing to proofread Zero to One Million for me. It sure shows what can happen when you ask for help (and use IntelliContact Pro to build and stay in touch with your network)!

I spent this afternoon writing an article on constipation and colon cleansing. I just finished my second 'colon cleanse' yesterday. I surely do feel great. If you are ever constipated check out a product called Oxy-Powder (www.oxypowder.com). It does great stuff.

I just finished playing a game of Madden 1996 on my SNES modulator. I beat the computer for the first time, 35-15. Ahh, the lore of pixelated and blocky graphics.

At Broadwick, we're up to 55 customers now. Things are starting to really take off. We are getting a new customer every day. We've recently brought on a recent UNC grad named Kevin to help with the programming.

Anyway, I've got to get home and get some sleep. It's been one of the better days of my life.

Tomorrow is going to be crazy. 75,000 people are going to be on Franklin St., right outside my door. We'll have a few dozen people up here at the office partying. Let the good times roll.
