Leo Laporte, You must see this...
A lot of you heard me talk about my friend Leo Laporte. He was on a channel called Tech TV for years and did two TV shows called Call for Help, and the Screensavers. This past January, I went to San Francisco to MacWorld where I got to go out to his studios and meet him in person. A lot of you remember seeing the blog post. This was one of my top 10 people of all time to meet.
Well, he does this funny thing of sitting on an exercise ball in loo of sitting in an office chair. So of course I had to try this out. I've been sitting on this gigantic exercise ball instead of my (we won't say how much it costs) Herman Miller office chair.
Here is a video of what happened to Leo and the exercise ball. You must watch this. It's one of the funniest things I've think I've ever seen.

Here is another blooper from The Screensavers. Keep in mind that this show was done live so there was no chance for editing. Very funny... Leo talking about Lord of the rings
And last but not least, just a few Screensavers bloopers that I found as well.

updates
A few updates... I have a new personal assistant at the Wildeco corporate office. She's been here about two weeks and so far so good. She's very attentive, smart, willing to learn and try new things. So far I would call this a success.
Here it is June 11-12 or close by the time you're reading this, which means Stadium season is right around the corner. Which means I'm going to be very, very busy. Which means, well, it means I will be very, very happy. I work better under pressure. When there's not a lot of pressure or not a whole lot of things going on, I don't do as well. But when the pressure's on, is when I'm happiest and seems like I achieve the most.
In one of the earlier posts, I believe it was by Lisa who said something about the harder questions in life. Well I don't believe she or anyone else has posted what they believe are the harder questions in life. So what are these harder questions and where to find them because I would love to answer them.
Should have some news coming any day about a new stadium account that I could be acquiring, but thats all I can say about it right now. Believe me, when I know, I will let you know. It would be a really cool account to get.
Okay, that's all the updates for now...goodbye.

Amazon
Let me tell you a few ways that I use Amazon for that you might not even know about. Amazon and I have become best friends over the last year or so.
The first cool thing: Amazon prime The cool thing about Amazon prime is you can try it for three months and it doesn't cost you anything, and then after that it is 79 bucks a year. But here's what you get for your 79 bucks a year: free two-day shipping on all of your Amazon orders, if you want to upgrade an order to next day you can upgrade for just 3.99, and there's no minimum order size. I have paid for my 79 bucks a year already and let me tell you how. Just the other day I needed some AA batteries, and I was going to send one of the girls out to get them but I thought why waste and pay for their time and gas. I'll look them up on Amazon. They were cheaper than they would have been in the store and there's no shipping, and no tax, by the way. So I use it for all kinds of little things like that. You'd be surprised how much time it will save you running around picking up little things.
The second cool thing: subscribe and save Here's the deal, you may not realize that Amazon has groceries. If you're anything like me, you hate going to the grocery store. Here is the really, really cool, cool thing, you just go into Amazon and to the subscribe and save section and then you pick out your normal grocery items and then you can set them up on a schedule to be delivered to you. Have them delivered every three months or six months and then they just come automatically. I don't have to go to the store, find the item, put it in my basket, take it to the check out, from the check out to my car, and from the car inside my house and put it up. With Amazon it just arrives on my front porch, I take it in and put it up. And with Amazon prime shipping is free.
This is a short list of my subscribe and save items.
(with subscribe and save you can have things set up to ship to two different addresses and billed to different accounts) By the way, when you subscribe and save you save an additional 15% off their cost which is already cheaper than you can get at the store.
So I'm telling you, me and Amazon have become very, very good friends.
Father's Day is coming up... order your Father's Day gift here.
Just think about it next time you are making a list or you think you've got to go to the store. Punch it up on Amazon and more than likely they'll have it. It'll be to you in one or two days.
Here is the link to use http://amazon.johnnywilde.com
Last, I get real excited about this. The other things that I also order are my cleaning supplies: paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, dishwashing soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, dryer sheets, deodorant, Rice, and I could go on. There are just tons of things that you don't realize how handy it is to just set it up on automatic delivery once a month or once every other month. It just arrives and you don't have to go to the doggone store. Use and enjoy.

The plan
Okay, so it's been a little while since my last post. I guess you can say I've been on a little vacation. But let's get back to this plan, remember Kiva /the Amazon plan. So if you have no idea what I'm talking about just go back a few posts and you'll see what I'm talking about when I say the plan.
So we're starting or I should say we have started as of June 1. Thank you to all who have been clicking through the Amazon site to buy your purchases. Very quick recap: number one, whenever you buy something from Amazon just click through my Amazon link; number two, I get a percent of the stuff that you buy; number three, I take that percent and donate it to Kiva.
So here are just a few ground rules for you to know.
1. I cannot see who is buying what so you're totally anonymous. It's just like you were buying from Amazon.com directly.
2. It doesn't cost you any more or any less to click through my site, so why not click through my site and lets see what we can do with Kiva.
Someone had asked me in a previous comment if we could choose who we were going to donate to? Well, sure why not. So I've selected a few people from the Kiva website. You tell me which one you like or feel free to find a completely different one. Just leave it in the comments.
1. Sohib Sodikov
2. Bahriddin Akramov
3. Francisco Fernándo Santay Mejía
4. Maria del Carmen Avilés
5. Dalerjon Obidov
So those were my five choices, browse around and let me know which one you like or find one totally different. Just leave it in the comments.
Thanks for all of your help and remember just bookmark this page and whenever you're buying from Amazon start here.
Thanks LOW
