Horribly OT: Killing Time While We Wait For Wealth... Questions that are keeping me awake during the day, intermittently, that is: (1): Why has President Clinton not slipped a mention of WAVX into a press conference or two? I think this is part of global conspiracy of silence funded by, among others, Tonya Harding, Brian Doyle Murray, Anita Bryant, Tom Posten, Lyle Lovett, Morris Dees, and Wiley Post, who is still alive by the way. (2): Why hasn't George Soros admitted, yet, to his heavy WAVX investments? Further proof of the conspiracy of silence mentioned above. (3): Is it not true that Linda Tripp has proposed embedding EMBASSY chips into a domed-stadium-sized container of guacamole dip? (4): The Spragues, who are they REEEEALLLYYY? Bots from the future, bent on domination of our planet one motherboard and one I/O device and one set-top at a time? Peter. Steven. Such... well... predictable names. It's all so... well... convenient. (5): If the Market goes south, will Raging Bull have to change its name to Raging Bear? Or what if the Market just moves sideways, vacillating directionless, for several months? Will the name then be Raging Hedge? (6): In light of MyPublish speculation, why hasn't someone bought the URL www.pennyforyourthoughts.com? (7): Is it not true that John Grisham's new novel--which will be available for mere pennies a page--is entitled THE TRUSTED CLIENT? (8): WAVX in Pentium III. Stranger things have happened. Oprah in Amarillo. 'Nuff said. (9): I have it on excellent authority that Al Gore has been scrutinizing EMBASSY "posts" (at here and RB) for a new source of campaign funds. Happy Saturday Night, c m

Mad-Ass Speculation About WaveCommerce... Oh, well, having been inexplicably roused from my month-long stupor, I thought I'd join the general cogitatin' re: the WaveCommerce thingy. I do think that part of our WAVX's destiny is to enable microtransactions and content distribution for a mega-portal or two. Just seems to make sense. All the portals--mere portals, alas--are scrambling for new sources of income and competitive differentiation. (The whole portal concept is now under great scrutiny, by the way. Some wags are calling it a dead concept. But, that's kind of what wags do, right?) Here's something that we would be mighty awesome. Scenario: some major recording artist or another or some author like John Grisham decides to NOT re-up the label or publisher contract. Instead decides to take their brand and name to a MAJOR PORTAL--as part of an exclusive content arrangement--who just so happens to be able to sell their works by the chapter or by the downloaded song. Terrific source of income for the artist (or The Artist), big eyeballs for the portal, and a little vig for those boys in Lee. Just a stray thought. Best Regards, c m
