I meet a new friend who is a school teacher in Nepal and he is looking to set up a chartiy for his school…does anyone have any experience doing something like this?
He has great story…He just need to get it out there.
THANKS!
The 2nd Skype meetup with folks from CGW#1 (and one new person) was, yet again, another resounding success!
- Fewer technical glitches getting things started
- Used a “draft agenda” – meet/hug, share/feedback, commitments, hug goodbye
The next meetup should be on 29 Nov…but my schedule is a little flaky around that time…I will be camping that weekend and I might have to travel for work…
If anyone wants to volunteer to host the meetup…please let me know.
Mark your calendars for 15 Nov at 9:00 am PST (UTC -8) for our 2nd run at the Skype Meetup. All conscious people are welcome…you need not have attended Steve’s workshop to show up on skype…there is probably a limit to the number of folks we can get talking on skype at once…but we have yet to reach that.
If you do show up, please send me an IM on skype in chat mode letting me know you want to join the conference call. If you call me and I answer, I will just have to hang up to start the conference call.
Questions?…hit me on my blog, twitter, facebook or Steve’s Forums…
CHEERS!
We had 7 folks show up for the first skype meetup!!! That is an unqualified success!!! 
We will do it again in two weeks with hopefully fewer (hopefully) tech glitches to start out with…. The date time are up for grabs either Sat or Sunday…time wise…morning is best for me…but I will do my best to flex to the group wishes.
We all shared, laughed and re-kindled the connection from CGW#1…it lasted about 1:30 minutes…which seemed about right to me…so I will plan to run these not longer than two hours…too much of a good thing right
And the fantastic news is that I thought that I would miss my football game for this meetup…and was again…cool with missing the game…but turns out my game starts late this week!
The universe loves me….
I am moving the start time to 9:00 am PST (UTC -8) on 1 Nov (Sunday) to accommodate someone who wants to participate from India (cool!), so I hope this still works for everyone else that wants to participate…
…I will still be around at 11:00, so if you miss “the meeting” @ 9:00 AM you can still skype me and I will answer and let you know what you missed…we might still be chatting…who knows?

Let’s see how many people we can get into Skype at once and chat/talk…If I am not alone, I will call it a success!
If this time does not work for you…please propose time ideas…
The government is really unable to create a health care system that will help americans be healthy…good news is WE can.
The government IS US anyway, we made it, so it’s OUR fault that the government can’t create a healthy health care system…so we shouldn’t be so hard on the governement…they do put on a very entertaining show!
You can help create a health care system that works…sign up for this newsletter to learn how:
If you do, then yourself a flavor (<—-mistake on purpose for humor) and check out: http://www.thesoundla.com/

Neat stuff…
I thought it was funny that I have only really felt one earthquake since living in LA since 2003…Well I felt the one tonight…it felt like a truck hit the house!
It shook for a few seconds and then died down…I was playing a internet computer game (Left 4 Dead)…I told my teammates…brb…earthquake here…to check on my wife…she was ok, so I went back to game.
…maybe I should buy that earthquake insurance…it only pay $25K though…not really worth it to me.
