Guys, I've pretty much shot my wad with my two brief but scintillating movie reviews, my mildly interesting news that Magnetron is being considered for an internet radio production, my hilarious scenario "Jesus' Powerpoint Presentation on the Mount," my heartfelt and fiscally sound white paper on love production, and my obviously ill-considered crackpot scheme to register hogalum.org and create a brand new message board. So I have no new grist for the mill, and hereby officially relinquish the floor to anyone with something to say...

Ken...the Jesus 'skit' was awesome..I thought it was hysterical and would appreciate and welcome more "Jesus-What REALLY happened" scenarios. I also support the Hogalum.org site and the radio programs would be cool. I'm not worried....I think its great, I just want to be the first to say "I told ya so!" :)

I have an artist, Elizabeth(27-blonde-gr.eyes-cute face&figure) who wants to be a part of Inner Compass. She has agreed to start working on the logo, see if she can add some flair to my prototype cards, brochures for IC, web site design AND much later, create a newsletter which I'll inlcude when we start selling the cards at conferences...the newsletter hopefully will expand to become IM Magazine. I went to Art Institute Senior Thesis showcase and have some good leads. I'll continue to network with artist for their art work and by mid May pay the 75.00 to regist. IC's domain name for the next 2 yrs. Then when we are ready with design, get webhosting acct and get the site up by end of June. Can't decide between InnerCompass.net OR InnerCompassLLC.com.

Spent all day with Doreen and her kids..riding bikes and rollerblading. It was a good workout. I finally got under the 40" waist line and now a happy 38. Doreen is a great influence on having a more active lifestyle. Yesterday I would have spent the day inside....instead I got some sun, worked out and continue to enjoy Doreen for TODAY and STOP worrying about the future. I continue to learn some BIG lessons regarding giving up control, taking the relationship as it comes EACH DAY. IF I stop trying to hold onto her, based on what I WANT in a future, and instead just BE when I am with her in the present....I find myself BEING with her more often as she decides to include me in her life AND accepts my invitation to be in mine.

I wish I had a pic to show you of her. Maybe in August I'll have some.

Keep doing good things Ken!!!

Just got an email from John; he got hit with another frigging virus, so I guess he's still cobbling his system back together.

Jeff, I'm glad you liked the Jesus skit. More in the future? You know, I just might! As far as the internet radio production, I guess these guys are flakes, because I wrote them back about five days ago and have recieved no response. I think they were more interested in me writing for other productions, and I had to tell them I was not at all interested in writing Dr. Who stories, partly because I am not into fan fiction, but mostly because I don't want to become embroiled in copyright violations. I seem to have scared them off.

I discussed your idea obliquely with a friend in the web business, Mike Raymond (45-blonde-hazel eyes-ruggedly handsome) and he offered a tip for when things start rolling. There's a site called PRWeb where you can post your own press releases, and they have a pretty good track record of their copy being picked up by other media. Could get you a lot of exposure.

You can definitely get registration for less than $75 for 2 years. In fact, you can get it free with many hosting companies, but you have to take care they are not registering in their name!

I can recommend ANHosting.com. Reasonable rates, good service, and excellent tech support.

I vote for InnerCompass.net. Either one may cause confusion with innercompass.com, but .net is shorter.

That's great, Jeff. I just got down to 38 myself; thankfully I was able to completely avoid rollerblading.

That's wonderful, Jeff. But remember your car payment is due TOMORROW. Stupid future.

I like this Doreen person. She is clearly making more headway than we mere males ever could on those fronts. Now, if she could just teach you to stop CAPITALIZING every OTHER word, YOU would BE nearly PERFECT!

>I wish I had a pic to show you of her. Maybe in August

Lovely idea.

Thanks Ken for the feedback! Those little bits of tid certainly help in regards to the web site.

>Just got an email from John; he got hit with another

Is it me or does it seem like John keeps getting these virus' from all those PORN and software downloads. Maybe fate or the cosmic universe is trying to tell John, to cut that shit out, otherwise he will continue to be plagued! Yeah, John seems to be targeted with the bad mojo.

Ouch....too much sun...it was a bitch shaving my head OW! this am YEOW! while it was so tender from the sunburn. Life is good. Kim has returned to WI from her trip with the kids to AZ. With her return I'm puttin my foot down on having the kids for the whole weekend and staying overnight as agreed beginning Jan. 2003. When my engine blew, I didn't bother since I wasn't in a position to get kids. NOW with a better car...and with Doreen's support...I'm ready to lock horns with the Iron Queen and get my kids for the entire weekend. Thats it for me.

Check it out: http://www.domain-registration-bank.com/

$8.75/yr with multi-year discounts. You can register InnerCompass.net for TEN YEARS for $79.90, or both domains for three years for less than $55. I recommend you go register at least one of them this very instant for a year. You have $8.75, don't you?

Ken, reading briefly over the legal document of Domain Registration, I get the impression that the Scottsdate based company and the domain name registration company would have some ownership of the domain name. I don't know....my experience...If its too good to be true....

Nope! I just registered DLMacKenzie.com and everything's ducky. (It just redirects to Magnetron for now). Really, Jeff, it's not too good to be true. They sell your name and email address to Nigerian death squads, but other than that, it's perfectly legit.

By the way, I went ahead and registered innercompass.net in my name, just to be sure. I'll gladly turn over the rights to you for a nominal fee, though, so don't worry.

Kidding! But you really ought to hurry. There's no telling when innercompass.com will smell the coffee and register .net!

Rats...I see they only take Credit Card as payment...I don't have one. I'm still putting burn salve on the wounds from the divorce and that includes my credit. I haven't had time to more in detail...and see if they do electronic check or I can mail it in to them. Maybe this weekend I can read over and see. Thanks for verifying Ken, I will move forward to getting the name registered...for the next 2 yrs.
