You Have Mail: "Hi, Honey. This is your mother. I'm dead."

Wow!

There is a new service out there called Private Matters.

Their services sound good. I know that some day I will pass on, so, I heard about them and thought I would check their website. They offer planning out wills, making a memory package for your loved ones, and they have you send out e-mails after you're dead.

Yes. After you die, your loved one's might receive an e-mail from you. A letter in the hand is one thing, but, an e-mail? This is what the website mentions about the e-mails:

Leave e-mail messages to be delivered up to a year after your death. Imagine what you would do if you could store private messages (Including pictures and video clips) to be delivered at any time up to a year after your death....Who would you write to first?...What would you say?

It beats sitting in the office of some lawyer you don't know, I suppose.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
