This is "the Word" -- one man's word, certainly -- about the art (and artifice) of the state of our computer-centric existence. And considering that the "one man" is Neal Stephenson, "the hacker Hemingway" (Newsweek) -- acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, etc., etc.) -- the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson's In the Beginning... was the Command Line is a thoughtful, irreverent, hilarious treatise on the cyber-culture past and present; on operating system tyrannies and downloaded popular revolutions; on the Internet, Disney World, Big Bangs, not to mention the meaning of life itself.

From Publishers Weekly

After reading this galvanizing essay, first intended as a feature for Wired magazine but never published there, readers are unlikely to look at their laptops in quite the same mutely complacent way. Stephenson, author of the novel Cryptonomicon, delivers a spirited commentary on the aesthetics and cultural import of computer operating systems. It's less an archeology of early machines than a critique of what Stephenson feels is the inherent fuzziness of graphical user interfacesAthe readily intuitable "windows," "desktops" and "browsers" that we use to talk to our computers. Like Disney's distortion of complicated historical events, our operating systems, he argues, lull us into a reductive sense of reality. Instead of the visual metaphors handed to us by Apple and Microsoft, Stephenson advocates the purity of the command line interface, somewhat akin to the DOS prompt from which most people flee in a technophobic panic. Stephenson is an advocate of Linux, the hacker-friendly operating system distributed for free on the Internet, and of BeOS, a less-hyped paradigm for the bits-and-bytes future. Unlike a string of source code, this essay is user-friendlyAoccasionally to a fault. Stephenson's own set of extended metaphors can get a little hokey: Windows is a station wagon, while Macs are sleek Euro-sedans. And Unix is the Gilgamesh epic of the hacker subculture. Nonetheless, by pointing out how computers define who we are, Stephenson makes a strong case for elegance and intellectual freedom in computing. (Nov.)

The ultimate manual for wilderness travelers and campers, Walking Softly in the Wilderness is the groundbreaking guide that first taught backpackers how to enjoy a genuine wilderness experience that leaves nature undisturbed. 

In recent years backpacking gear and practices have undergone many changes, and all are noted and expertly evaluated by author John Hart in this new edition. Covering the latest in "ultralight" gear choices, as well as downloadable maps, portable GPS devices, and the world of online information, Hart is a sure-footed guide to this changing scene.

The qualities that established this guide as the bible of camp and trail have also been polished and honed: its level-headed advice on trip planning and packing; insights for getting the most from a wilderness trip, whether a challenging mountain scramble or a leisurely family outing; and wisdom about dealing with the unexpected, from bears to flash floods to injuries. Seventy line drawings illustrate topics ranging from bear-bagging to rigging a tarp shelter. Extensive resource listings include wilderness agencies, gear suppliers, and online information sources.

SOON TO BE A BRAND-NEW SERIES ON NETFLIX

In the twenty-fifth century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person’s consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or “sleeve”) making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats “existence” as something that can be bought and sold. For Kovacs, the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning. . . .

Ray Kurzweil is the inventor of the most innovative and compelling technology of our era, an international authority on artificial intelligence, and one of our greatest living visionaries. Now he offers a framework for envisioning the twenty-first century--an age in which the marriage of human sensitivity and artificial intelligence fundamentally alters and improves the way we live. Kurzweil's prophetic blueprint for the future takes us through the advances that inexorably result in computers exceeding the memory capacity and computational ability of the human brain by the year 2020 (with human-level capabilities not far behind); in relationships with automated personalities who will be our teachers, companions, and lovers; and in information fed straight into our brains along direct neural pathways. Optimistic and challenging, thought-provoking and engaging, The Age of Spiritual Machines is the ultimate guide on our road into the next century.

Ray Kurzweil is a prize-winning author and scientist. He was named Inventor of the Year by MIT in 1988 and was awarded the Dickson Prize, Carnegie Mellon's top science prize, in 1994. He is the recipient of nine honorary doctorates and honors from two American presidents. He lives outside Boston, Massachusetts.

If You're Fed Up Of Mediocre Income And All The Short-Term Money-Making Fads You've Been Trying, Up Until Now... Then It's Time To Put It All Behind You And Become The Next Ace List Builder!

If you have been immersed in the Internet Marketing space for at least a few months, surely you have seen some fads come and go...

Make money from Facebooking is NOT something I would call a 'solid business model' - not when the social network keeps changing every now and then because Mark Zuckerberg and his team feels like it.

The Search Engine Optimization game will NEVER be the same for too long. Take a look at the history of Google Slap, Google Panda, Google Penguin (and whatever is going to come next...)

The Adwords and Pay-Per-Click game is NOT like what they used to be. As soon as some keywords start yielding high value you will pay more per click and eventually your conversions and back-end funnels won't be enough to cover even your up front cost!

Even the affiliate marketing game CHANGES. Old redundant promotion techniques like whipping up a one-page review site get shortlived when everyone else picks up the same method and do it too!

You may have witnessed some of these trend changes. And they all have one direction in common: DOWN.

If you have to keep learning and relearning new techniques to ride on every trend, making money online is going to be a struggle. And how LONG can you last?

In Short, You NEED Your Own Mailing List!

It's tried. It's tested. It stands the test of time.

You won't be at the mercy of shortlived trends because email is an essential Internet tool - and everyone with an Internet access has an email account.

Once you get people onto your mailing list, it's yours. They have already given you their permission to email them, and you can be making money just sending emails to them.

How long does it take to write an email? No more than five minutes of your time.

How often can you send emails to them? As often as you want! (I prefer to send once a day but it's up to everyone's preference)

How much money can you make? Well, the more email subscribers you have, the more potential income you can make - literally with the click of the mouse!

I Hate To Break It To You... If You Don't Have A Mailing List - You Don't Have Much Of A Business!

By 'mailing list' I don't mean just a list of names and email addresses. If no one on your list is a willing buyer, you can't start lining your pockets.

While most Level 1 amateurs don't have a list (and resort to animal instincts to make money online), I suspect the Level 2 marketers already have their own auto-responder and may have some subscribers already.

Except that they are NOT making money yet.

You need a pool of hot, hungry buyers waiting to give you money every time you ask for it - not an ocean of tire-kickers!

Your Subscribers Need You MORE Than You Need Them!

Over the years, I have applied every technique I know to build my list to build, support and grow my business. Some worked like gangbusters, while others were just a waste of time and money. In the end, I distilled techniques that worked and kept using them to generate new customers to make sales to.

The best part is that all the time throughout, whenever a fad bursts it has little or no effect on my profits.

Because I don't build my business on shaky grounds. And I certainly don't waste my energy and efforts on anything I suspect is just a passing trend. As fad bubbles pop and the latest moolah-making technique is exposed for the fraud it is, I continue to chug cash into my PayPal account, ClickBank account...

You get the drift.

If you've been struggling online but you know a thing or two about internet marketing, then fate may have brought you to this page.

Why?... Because you can make good money selling services that webmasters and internet marketers are already looking for.

Fact Is... You may have been neglecting some of your talents and abilities up until now. We're not talking about complex services here. You CAN pull this off. All it takes is the desire to do so.

Imagine Getting Paid Good Money For This...

If you can pull off at least one of these services, then you can make money with it...

Designing banners - yes people need banners because they want to promote their product! If you can create a half-decent looking banner then you've got customers will to pay you.

Creating website headers - webmasters and marketers alike need to present their products. Headers are perfect for this and can add value to their websites - again something that you can provide!

Designing websites - why not take it a step further and do a complete design package? Provide more value, then charge accordling. It's not uncommon for designers to charge $500+ for graphics!

Writing services - marketers need products to sell, articles to add to their blogs, reports to give away as gifts, and eBooks to sell! If you can research a topic and write about it then expect to be paid for it!

Technical services - if you're capable of setting up a blog, installing a .html website, setting up an online script, or even programming for that matter then there's a mass of people willing to pay you!

Installation services - with the ever increasing number of 'turn-key' resell rights products there is a need for installation services hands down!

Seriously! It's NOT Rocket Science!

Many of these sevices you can learn (or have already learned) in just a few hours. Yet these simple skills can become your new cash cow.

If you've been doing affiliate marketing or selling your own products up until now with little or no success, then you should take a swing at selling services.

So Why Do Services Sell So Well?

There's a good reason...

Because people are lazy and they often don't know what they're doing either.

You can ride in on your white horse, save the day, and best of all get paid for it.

Don't Know What To Charge?... Don't Worry!

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you've even sold a single service before!

I'm going to take you by the hand and walk you through how you can make a big splash... maybe faster and easier than you ever dreamed possible.

Why? Because this course was created from REAL experience.

And I can tell you now... There's nothing scary about selling services! Especially when you know how to get the right clients (which I'll show you.)

And here's the real beauty of it...

There are so many ways to generate clients, even if you don't have an e-mail list.

You've Probably Seen The Other Big Service Providers Out There

They never have to worry about where their next check is coming from.

They have relationships with their clients.

They're the go-to-guys and go-to-girls everyone goes to in order to get things done.

You can be sure there will ALWAYS be work available because services are ALWAYS in high demand and marketers need things done - ALL THE TIME!

Things change rapidly online, as you already know. You can always learn new skills to offer as a service if needed. But the demand for services never changes.

LATE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, what had been a fevered pace of discovery in astronomy for many years had slowed. The Hubble Space Telescope continued to produce an astonishing array of images, but the study of the universe was still fractured into domains: measuring the universe’s expansion rate, the evolution of galaxies in the early universe, the life and death of stars, the search for extrasolar planets, the quest to understand the nature of the elusive dark matter. So little was understood, still, about so many of the most fundamental questions, foremost among them: What was the overall structure of the universe? Why had stars formed into galaxies, and galaxies into massive clusters? 

“[F]ascinating [and] disturbing…Finkbeiner’s book…carries a message for those who fear we are entering an anti-science age, in which right-wing politicians, religious fundamentalists, Luddites and postmodernists challenge science’s authority…Indeed, because of its immense potential for altering our lives for good or ill, science needs critics like Finkbeiner now more than ever.”--The New York Times

What was needed, thought visionary astronomer Jim Gunn, recently awarded the National Medal of Science, was a massive survey of the sky, a kind of new map of the universe that would be so rich in detail and cover such a wide swath of space, be so grand and bold, that it would allow astronomers to see the big picture in a whole new way. So was born the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a remarkable undertaking bringing together hundreds of astronomers and launching a new era of supercharged astronomical discovery, an era of “e-science” that has taken astronomy from the lonely mountaintop observatory to the touch of your fingertips. 

Critically acclaimed science writer Ann Finkbeiner tells the inside story of the Sloan and how it is revolutionizing astronomy. The Sloan stitched together images of deep space taken over the course of five years, providing a remarkably detailed, three-dimensional map of a vast territory of the universe, all digitized and downloadable for easy searching on a personal computer, and available not only to professional astronomers but to the public as well. 

Bringing together for the first time images of many millions of galaxies—including the massive structure known as the Sloan Great Wall of galaxies, never seen before—the Sloan is allowing astronomers and armchair enthusiasts alike to watch the universe grow up, providing so many discoveries at such a fast pace that, as one astronomer said, it’s like drinking out of a fire hose. They are watching galaxies forming and galaxies merging with other galaxies, seeing streams of stars swirling out from galaxies, and forming a new understanding of how the smooth soup of matter that emerged from the Big Bang evolved into the universe as we know it. 

Ann Finkbeiner brings the excitement and the extraordinary potential of this new era of astronomy vividly to life and allows all readers to understand how they, too, can become part of the discovery process. A Grand and Bold Thing is vital reading for all.

Firsthand testimonies by 20 leaders in culture and science of their interactions with the Akashic field 

"The 20 accounts make fascinating reading, testifying to the fact that we are subtly yet effectively linked with each other, with nature, and with the cosmos. It inspires solidarity, love, empathy, and a sense of responsibility for each other and the environment. These are ineluctable elements of the mind-set we need to pull out of the global crisis that threatens our world and to create peace and sustainability on this perilously ravaged planet." (SirReadaLot.org, March 2009)

• Provides important evidence for the authenticity of nonmaterial contact that human beings have with each other and with the cosmos 

• Demonstrates that the increasing frequency and intensity of these experiences is evidence of a widespread spiritual resurgence 

• Includes contributions by Alex Grey, Stanislav Grof, Stanley Krippner, Swami Kriyananda, Edgar Mitchell, and others 

" . . . truly ground breaking in its attempt to give a measure of organization to the known and some sense of identity to the unknown. The human language, as it presently exists, simply does not have the eloquence to deal with the 'thought downloads' that we are dealing with in this sphere of experience." (Zareen Khan, New Age Journal, May 2009)

Knowing or feeling that we are all connected to each other and to the cosmos by more than our eyes and ears is not a new notion but one as old as humanity. Traditional indigenous societies were fully aware of nonmaterial connections and incorporated them into their daily life. The modern world, however, continues to dismiss and even deny these intangible links--taking as real only that which is physically manifest or proved “scientifically.” Consequently our mainstream culture is spiritually impoverished, and the world we live in has become disenchanted. 

"Laszlo sees hope in the expanding horizons of scientific research and adds a note on his own experience of the infinite Akasha." (Nexus New Times Magazine, Vol. 16, No. 4, June-July, 2009)

In The Akashic Experience, 20 leading authorities in fields such as psychiatry, physics, philosophy, anthropology, natural healing, near death experience, and spirituality offer firsthand accounts of interactions with a cosmic memory field that can transmit information to people without having to go through the senses. Their experiences with the Akashic field are now validated and supported by evidence from cutting-edge sciences that shows that there is a cosmic memory field that contains all information--past, present, and future. The increasing frequency and intensity of these Akashic experiences are an integral part of a large-scale spiritual resurgence and evolution of human consciousness that is under way today.
