Cash Jeannie - Draft - Hey where's your atm plan

I want less hosting.
I want less 3am fixing calls.
I stick with software.
I don't want to deliver vault cash.
I don't want to be light armoured car infantry.
I don't want to see my back end income eliminated due to competition.

I want to sell it to cash only restaurants.
Restaurant supplies cash.
Restaurant rents to own atm so they supply service.

Why this?

Good for murray warren sell by phone?
Or
Good for korean market?
Or
Good for selling internet access?
Or
Good for ebay convenience store with mailboxes?
Or
Good for restaurants - they supply the vault cash

@@Cash jeannie@@

The parade
the event The launch of cash Jeannie
The audience - pizza owners, convenience store owners
The booth
The drums
The event
Forms, sign up and participate

How to sell atms
Pay the owners the setup by giving them a discount on the hardware?
Or the service plan?
Give it to the sales guys?
Advertise?
Why
Make a web setup form
Cold calling stores
Advertise with coupons on the tape as a service to members that pay
extra
Advertise with coupons and stickers on the unit
Provide free website
Discounted internet station
Other deliveries with cash, phone cards, stored value cards
Magazines, blank dvds, cds, and memory cards
The atm is my POP - its my store and I keep it stock with items
Maybe those items are redeemed with points
Maybe I promote a website, a portal, with games, and classifieds, and
news

Just go and sell them yourself

I come from russian polish, and that it was raped and pillaged by

I am part mogolian rapist

You are my sunshine

Face, eyes, lips, nose, mouth, voice, laugh
Its you
Your presence
And spirit
Making you into you
The spring inside you
Filling the world
Shaping a tiny piece of the universe into you
Pulling bits of the universe into orbit around you
And for a tiny piece of time
Me too

Somehow I shaping you and you are shaping me
And we dance together in orbit
And you stir me

Thinking about how I shape you
I stop, knowing I don't know how to do my best

But you
Sweet light angel
Everyones darling favorite
Kindly give more smiles, laughter and gentle touches

And I am a monster
Begging and stamping my feet
"Don't go!"
But I am left behind in your dreams
When you wake up

I can't be left behind
I want you
Love you
Sacrifice myself for you
I hope you love me
Too
More and more
Everyday

Imagine this v2

Imagine

That sold Neo code
Software

That promoted Neo code
And
Cogagni
That paid the rent
And
Made the world a cleaner safer better place
And
Made me happy and feel good about myself
And
Use my ideas
And
Actually got started
And
Finds customers
And
Knows my limits

Sounds like

Mini review: skype video

Product: skype video, www.skype.com

Competitors: ichat, msn video

Pros: its works through firewalls where the others fail, zero config,
cross platform, single platform for chat, voice, and video
Cons: "laggy," no support for multi way video chat, client doesn't
support aim, msn, icq or yahoo, should be able to be embedded in a web
page

Price: free

What I recommend: a supported webcam (see skype.com), mac os x or win
xp, and headphones with integrated mic.

Why it works: eBay bought them for billions, so they can afford to make
video chat work

What's it good for: no idea. I still feel uncomfortable with video chat.
Maybe the lag is embarrassing, it leads to crosstalk. Also audio drop
outs suck. I imagine it would be fun to use with a wireless portable
with builtin webcab like a vaio.

Review: I work with web strategist Jason Agouris from iTristanmedia.com,
and for an upcoming meeting he thought video conferencing would be best.
We had tried iChat AV in the past without success and this time was no
exception - despite each of us successfully connecting to apple's test
ichat av accounts which loop there ads - that is an idea for something -
anyway we couldn't connect each other. Jason suggested skype and after
quitting ichat and downloading the most recent version - it worked
right away.

Rating: go get it. It works.

Future visions seen on nov 10

Flickr and Ebay grew big because of commodity internet, and commodity
digital cameras
Something new will grow out of higher speed internet and commodity
digital hd video

Something new will grow out of digital video coming out of cell phones.
Imagine saving all your videos from your entire life, consuming
terabytes of storage, and being able to control the playback through
your cell phone. Imagine being able to search for images of of dad who
passed away, or your wife when she was younger, or a child from before
an accident.

World of warcraft and everquest grew out of cheap computing and cheap
bandwidth.
Something new will grow out of 10mbps bandwidth and multicore processors
linked to ever larger clusters of servers and mainframes.
Imagine what those clusters of mainframes can do?
Imagine running video editing applications, or animation rendering, or
office applications, or browsing through the audio and video recordings
of your life.
Imagine being able to record your entire life. All your conversations
and all your actions and have them available for playback and to share.
Wim wenders imagined one universe.
Sci fi writers have imagined others.
Imagine manufacturers and producers putting ads and cash registers into
those worlds.

Imagine playing a reading a story that was actually a manual to a game.
Imagine watching a tv show and movie that was actually a tutorial to a
game.
Imagine playing a game that rehearsed biologicaly healthy behaviour.
Imagine earning rewards for doing good things in the game that could be
converted into real things from biologically healthy producers.
Imagine getting letters as part of the game.
Imagine chatting with actors in the game who are in reality counsellors.

One Art

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

-- Elizabeth Bishop

David Gelernter's epigraph to Mirror Worlds

No changing of place
at a hundred miles an hour,


You can't imagine how strange it seemed
to be journeying on thus, without
any visible cause of progress
other than the magical machine,


nor making of stuffs a thousand
yards a minute,


with its flying white breath and
rhythmical, unvarying pace,
between these rocky walls, which are
already clothed with moss and
ferns and grass;


will make us
one whit stronger, happier
or wiser.


and when I reflected that


There was always more
in the world
than men could see,
walked they ever so slowly;


these great masses of stone had been cut
asunder to allow our passage thus far
below the surface of the earth, I felt that


they will see it no better
for going fast.
JOHN RUSKIN (1856)


no fairy tale
was every half so wonderful
as what I saw.
FANNY KEMBLE (1830)

No more, all you need is here

A musical by joshua paul

(Darkness - a voice sings out)
No more
No more
Can I hide
No more
No more

I am
What I am
I am
What I am

We are
What we are
So we be

(Darkness)

(Light comes up backstage right - a prisoner chained into an electric
chair)

Prisoner begins to sing -
Some times I feel like a motherless child
A long long way from home
Some times I feel like I am almost gone
a long long way from home

(Fades to darkness - vivaldis 4 seasons begins to play - lights come up
front stage left - 1 madame and two goons face a young woman, behind him
her two kids are kneeling, hands behind their backs, with one goon with
two guns each pointed at the backs of their heads)
Taipan - we will keep your family safe, ms. Black, very safe. no harm
will come them. No harm will come your son. No harm will come your
daughter. No harm will come to them. Give us what we want ms black.
Everything will be fine.
Ms black sings the house of rising sun

(Fade to black - and the center lights come on - a family dinner table
is set, 4 chairs and a nuclear family explodes destroying the dining
room as they sing "sun rise sun set")
Parent sings the song, at the same time yelling at each other, at the
same time wrecking the table while children huddle under the table
Father - I am tired after working all day. When I get home I want some
respect
Mother - I work all day. What thanks do I get

(Fade to darkness - on the right and left side mirror scenes - a rich
man with shopping bags of food trades the food for "time" with one of a
poor families children - silently done with pointing, the rich man takes
the child away)
Child while holding rich mans hand sings while crying - swing low sweet
chariot
