DOING GOOD ON BARNES AND NOBLE
47,700 on Barnes and Noble bestseller's list. Not bad. Fell down and screwed up my knee worse. Oh well, such is life.
BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK
I awoke this morning excited about seeing my old high school buddy and engaging in my first golf game of the summer. I have been having knee trouble for sometime. Haven't gone to a doctor because "it is going to get better." Well, it hasn't and hurts all the time. I take Motrin and massage with Jointritis and Glucosomine/Condroitin but it still hurts. My left knee was like this for 5 months but it finally did go away, as it did after a long time when I had what they call "tennis elbow", which is a tendon injury. Well this morning it really hurt but I am very stubborn and went to the golf course with my chum. My first swing was like a lightning bolt hitting my knee. Wow, did that hurt. Went to the emergency room and probably have a miniscus tear but need a scan to find out. Well, I got some crutches that are too big for me, a bandage rap and some anti-inflamatory pills and feel somewhat better. This is the kind of thing that happens when you get older. I am told to take it easy on the leg which will allow me to gain some more weight, which I definitely don't need. Crap. But positively, Barnes and Noble has moved me into good territory on their bestsellers list-60,000. When I left for California, I was at 170,000. I should be getting my first royalty statement soon, so we will know about how well I am doing. My publicist wanted more books to send out, so that is a good sign. Well, onward and upward. It was nice talking nostalgia with my high school chum. How fast time flies--tempus fugit. Later.

How to Disappear
Your inbox is awash in spam, your boss is chuckling over your credit report,
and you've got a sneaking suspicion that Uncle Sam counts how many L�wenbr�u
you chug. Yes, your privacy's shot to hell, and you're tempted to shrug and
settle for an open source life. But privacy isn't like virginity, forever
lost after the first trespass. With some work, "reprivatization" is
possible. Use this three-tiered guide to pick a level of solitude. But be
warned: Going all the way off the grid is more Ted Kaczynski than Howard
Hughes.
Going
Diss credit: Want to be hard to find? Start by dashing off stern opt-out
letters to the big database companies and credit bureaus - Experian, Acxiom,
Equifax. These folks may make a mint peddling personal info, but they can be
cajoled into stopping. First, though, they'll make you jump through hoops -
like filling out a 1040-sized form or idling in toll-free hell. Junkbusters
JUNKBUSTERS has a good list of opt-out addresses.
Anonymize: Ditch your ISP and sign up with a service that lets you surf by
proxy, keeping your IP address concealed. Send email via an anonymous
remailer like Mixmaster, a digital middleman that scrambles timestamps and
message sizes. And if you're going to be advocating the violent overthrow of
the government or bragging about your cool new bong, make sure your remailer
routes messages through multiple machines.
Grok the fine print: Boring as it sounds, read the privacy statements that
clutter your mailbox around tax time and sever ties with companies that
admit, "Our privacy policy may change over time" - industry lingo for "We
reserve the right to screw you."
Going Further
Ditch the digits:Want to drop out?Start by rustling up a new Social Security
number.
The Social Security Administration doesn't accept paranoia as a criterion
for granting a new card, but it recognizes cultural objections and religious
pleas. One stratagem: Contend that your credit has been irrevocably damaged
by a number-related snafu, or that you live in fear of a stalker who knows
your digits. Once you switch your SSN, never use it. Instead, dole out
078-05-1120, an Eisenhower-era card that works 99 percent of the time.
Call cell-free: Use the humble pay phone. Mobile phones are being outfitted
with global positioning satellite chips to comply with an FCC mandate. By
2006, all wireless networks must feature 911-friendly tracking technology.
Marketers are cooking up ways to capitalize, like zapping burger coupons to
your Nokia as you stroll by a fast-food joint.
Pay full price: You may relish saving 10 percent on Prell, but deep-six your
buyers' club cards. Supermarkets and pharmacies haven't yet perfected the
art of data mining, but it won't be long. "If you're having a child custody
fight, they could subpoena your frequent-shopper cards and say, 'Look, he's
buying too many potato chips, he's hurting the kids,'" says Robert Gellman,
a Washington-based privacy consultant.
Gone
Move: Want to go completely off the grid? Start by moving - address changes
bedevil databasers. But don't buy a home. All those loan apps will blow your
cover. Residential hotels smell like cheap cigars and urine, but at least
you can register under a pseudonym. Give a fake address: 3500 S. Wacker,
Chicago, IL, 60616 - the front door for Comiskey Park.
Toss your cards:Pay cash for everything, and don't plan on a life of luxury.
Any (legal) cash transaction more than $10,000 triggers government reporting
regulations, which means you can forget about that Cadillac Escalade you've
had your eye on. Settle for the subway or bus, using coins rather than
prepaid fare cards, which keep a record of trips.
Go incognito: Facial-recognition gear will soon be ubiquitous in public
spaces. To fool the systems, invest in a pair of bulky aviator sunglasses
and a hat. If you fear being tailed, alter your gait every time you hit the
street - a pigeon-toed shuffle one day, a bowlegged amble the next. There
are also Central American plastic surgery mills, beloved of drug lords, that
can alter the loops and whorls on your fingertips. It'll set you back 10 Gs,
but then, Costa Rican doctors have been known to accept gold Rolexes in lieu
of cash.

BLAH, BLAH
Well, it was a low energy day. Did some watering and weed spraying. Two hour nap. Catching up for excitement of last few days. The market was up so wouldn't you know it I finally capitulated yesterday and sold out. My timing is always a day late but I still think the trend is down, so we will see. I wrote a couple of covered call options. First time I have done that. It is pretty neat. I am still bullish on gold. They are flooding the world with dollars; that is what the markets in currency are showing. If the Central Banks can be beaten, gold will jump. They have shorted gold to keep the dollar propped. I recommend GG, a Canadian gold mine company. I read their balance sheet and it is A-1. They own the most productive mine in the world, not hedged, just split 2 for 1 and $1 per year dividend. The P/E is a little high, I think 34 but all the gold stocks are there. I get at least 5 offers for credit cards a week and lord only knows how many for mortgages and home equity loans. There is a lot of money sloshing around. Only the high amount of productivity is keeping us afloat. I will never be able to payoff my credit card debts, unless I hit it big soon and they still keep extending my credit limits. Social Security next year for me. Not much but it will be steady. An old High School buddy is visiting tomorrow. I think we will probably play golf on Saturday. It will be my first time this year. I usually play my best game the first game. I will let you know. Later dudes (includes ladies).
Disapproval is a very important factor in all progress. There has

HAVING FUN
Today was an interesting one. I was supposed to do the Rick Barber show tomorrow but guess what, I got a call at 6 a.m. from Rick Barber telling me I would be on in a minute. I was dead asleep. I usually get up at 6:30 but I was dead to the world when he called. Had to slap my face a couple of times. Couldn't get the coffee made in time. Needless to say, I was not at my best but it was okay, just not spectacular. Then I opened my puter and it crashed. Who knows why? Thanks to XP's rehab program, it all came back but there was some breathless moments. Amazing how dependent we have become on these things. Well, after the show. I got a call from the show I did on June 20th that their regular guest had copped out and they had an emergency. Well, I did another show with them. It's fun, so what the hell.

BAD NEWS ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET
By Thom Calandra, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 10:58 AM ET Jun 25, 2002
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Anecdotal signs are growing that the American investing public is near a breaking point on the stock market.
Saddling retirement account losses of 50 percent and more since the March 2000 peak, U.S. investors are slowly acknowledging their portfolio pain.
"We're starting to see individuals accept the bad news about their market returns, and that's a first step," said Richard Gotterer, senior vice president of investment strategy at Gibraltar Bank Wealth Management. "They're lowering their expectations."
The share of U.S. mutual fund assets held in retirement accounts amounts to about a third, according to the Investment Company Institute, the fund industry's trade group. With four of every five mutual funds in the red this year, that's more than just nail-biting for those who retire in 15 years or less.
"We are now in a very prolonged bear market, and I see no short-term relief in sight, or long-term relief for that matter," says Kerry Carmichael, an Arizona lottery winner whose investing strategies are profiled in "How America Made a Fortune and Lost Its Shirt," newly published book by CBS.MarketWatch.com.
Main Street investors are looking away from Wall Street and toward independent researchers to decipher what will almost surely be a third-straight losing year for stocks.
"Richard Russell (editor of the Dow Theory Letters) thinks we are in the second or third inning of this bear market, and that the decline in the indexes has much further to run," says Michael J.Walker, a certified financial planner. "He also thinks that it may take several more years to reach the end of this bear. If he is right, it will be the story of the decade. The amount of financial damage to small investors would be unimaginable."
By some accounts, stock-market investors this year alone have seen more than $1.5 trillion erased from their portfolios.
Russell, the newsletter editor and a big believer in gold, earlier this month catalogued the performance in each of the 20 most widely stocks in Merrill Lynch accounts. Many were down severely, led by AOL Time Warner (AOL), AT&T (T) and AT&T Wireless Services (AWE), which have lost as much as 55 percent since January.
"Somewhere ahead, as night follows day, the public will turn bearish," writes Russell. "I don't know what will turn them bearish. Crushing losses have not turned stockholders bearish. Terrorism has not turned them bearish. Talk of a bear market, which few people seem to believe, has not turned them bearish."

STORY ABOUT THE NEW GENERATION OF SEARCH ENGINE
Checkout the indexing system for files created by my friend, Mike Linksvayer, and his friends. It is the next stage of search engine technology and I hope it is successful because it is a good idea. Bitzi
Cataloging the World Bitzi

by Futuredex Editor, Eric Reyes
Here�s a twist to peer-to-peer file sharing. What if you could identify a file by unique code � an MP3, an image or video, even text � and find out what it is, find similar files, and find out what others using the file have said about it?
A startup that has had two lives � San Francisco-based Bitzi � wants to be the card catalog for the World Wide Web. Hopefully, the Bitzi Website will be the first stop anyone will want to make to discover details about a file before they download it, launch it, or otherwise read it.
Founded by Gordon Mohr, CTO, in 2000, Bitzi actually went into �hibernation� in November 2001 to regroup. After much bootstrapping they reemerged and currently have a catalog of 401,274 files and adding more everyday.
How do they do it with three people? They rely on Web surfers as volunteers � more than 11,000 of them -- to help describe each and every file. Right now, the majority of them are MP3 files � still hot commodities in a post-Napster world.
�There are utilities for P-to-P or document identifiers,� Mohr says. �There are also some Websites that rely on rating files and consultancies that want to tag every page on the Web,� he adds, but nothing with Bitzi�s buzz. �It�s very early and there will be players.�
It will always be free for a user to do lookups, but to appear in the directory will cost a registration fee. Adding advertising partners is also an option. �We are not trying to be the source of the files themselves,� Mohr says, �but a source for reference. We provide a service that will help all the P-to-P networks.�
As a kind of card catalog, Bitzi will also not be an enforcer of copyright � a concern of any originator of a file, especially if it is music, video, or an image. However, using the code tags, any file can be used to tell fans how to get legitimate copies.
The three founders have put about $200,000 of their own money into the project and gave up salaries and their trendy San Francisco offices for, literally, the kitchen counter top as work station. �Going mass market is going to be an organic process,� Mohr says. �As more discover it, the word will get out.�
They also give out key bits of source code in a product they call bitcollider to help third parties to use the Bitzi catalog.
�Everything digital that you can want can be shared on the celestial jukebox,� he adds. �Everything is available on demand in the air and heavens. We fit into that world that is being created moment by moment.�

WOW, AMERICA IS A BIG COUNTRY
Well, I am back from California. I had a great trip. America is a BIG land. Driving through Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming on the northern route--I-80 was not the most fun but Utah was great. I just loved the Bonneville Salt Flat. It is truly unbelievable. Took route U.S. 50 to Reno-had a great meal at The Steakhouse at Harrah's where my daughter and I stayed. I won some money at roulette. Had $2 bets on successive 21's that came up. From Reno, which I didn't like as much as Vegas, route 50 to South Tahoe--very pretty. The pines are twice as high as in Michigan. From Tahoe onto Folsom, CA.-a very nice small town East of Sacramento. Visited San Francisco--too much traffic--but pretty as always. Went to Stinson Beach in Marin County. The drive back is very scary--no shoulders on the twisty road and 600' straight drops down. Got back at 4 a.m. Monday. Lot of mail and bills. Just getting back into it now. I did a radio show out of New Jersey tonight. It went great. Had a lot of fun. Did a talk at the local library--3 people showed up. Well it is very hot and muggy here today so maybe people just didn't want to go out. But it was fun and had some interesting questions. So that's it. Later, dudes and dudesses.

Well, it is only a couple of days before Zoe and I trek on to California. A lot of excitement going on. I need to sell books. It is a hard nut to break, this book marketing but I keep going on. No way close to break even. I think I am going to do a targeted mass email. I wish I could do it myself but my ISP has a block on sending mass emails. Not only that but if you send a stream out to only a few people, then if one address is bad, it won't send the message. What a crock. i2 just took over my local ISP and I don't like the way they have been doing things. SELL BOOKS, SELL BOOKS, SELL BOOKS.
