Tired but not sleepy, and that track is still skipping around in the next room. Apparently I merited a mention in Vidicon's weblog (under friends) which I ran across while reading through his stuff... I really do think there's worthy product there, although the marketing will be challenging (in a good way)

Product and Marketing

[vidicon.livejournal.com]

I'm curious to know whether there was a particular product mentioned in the couple of megs of streaming text I've generated or whether the product you're mentioning might happen to be a viewpoint, or a mindset, perhaps, or maybe even an individual or two....

If it's the last case, I appreciate your endorsement. Maura, during a fit that I and a few other men of her acquaintance had thrown (collectively, somehow, yet distributed over a week's time) about, basically, not getting any, has volunteered to pimp for me -- but I have yet to see any action. Or any money.

I had my qualms that she might not be as discriminating with regards to clientele as I am, but so far, since zero equals zero, she has at least equalled my own tastes and discrimination. Alas, she is also apparently having trouble connecting with our target demographic, even though I'm now below 150 pounds and can carry off the spandex torso-displaying shirts without too much snickering from the peanut gallery -- but I reserve the right to complain that the spurious zippers do not interact well with chest hair.

And I'm not fronting the money for the all-over waxing. No more than I'd shell out money for weekly bastinado treatments. But that is more packaging than marketing -- merely a subset.

If you come up with any ideas on the matter, you should forward them to her....

Sorry to disappoint, but I was merely trying to say that your write well, and it seems sufficiently entertaining that people might pay for it, if asked the right way.

Now to find a working mini-payment system... (mini > micro). For now my hopes rest on Espra.net, but it'll be awhile before they have anything of that sort to show.
