Technology in the Eyes of 1998

IN JOBS FROM THE PAST:

I went to a café near my house and stumbled upon an issue of a Canadian magazine called "Saturday Night" from 1998.  I found two priceless, outdated technology articles that I scanned and posted below.

Some gems from the articles:

"When a dealer spouts strings of names and numbers at me -- "Buy the Ace 266 MHz Pentium II, 512K L2 with 32 MB SDRAM expandable to 384MB" -- my first impulse is to turn tail and run." (So is mine, oddly enough... in 2011. 384 MB... ho ho!)

"Buying a Computer for Dummies" [...] gives straight-up definitions for terms such as "cache" and ISP" and other things that normal human beings forget about almost as soon as they hear them."

"The author, Dan Gookin, shares his opinion on all manner of subjects: "The computer industry is now all a-spaz about the Internet.  Personally, I could take it or leave it."  Hear, hear!"

Click to enlarge.  I think this is worth a read, a chuckle and a RT:

Ah, how times have changed!  I wonder if we'll be laughing about smart phones, Twitter and Facebook in 2020?

Tax Time!

Aimee's accounting system via Strongarmgmt.com

>:(  I NEED THE FROWNIES! (Say it when you're stressed! New catch phrase inspired by Sandy Sidhu of TheSocialWoman.com)

I spent all day adding up receipts for my taxes and then finishing them off.  I could use a two hour anti-stress hike right about now.

As the owner of a small business, I love being able to deduct expenses, but I do not love having to keep receipts and add them up manually.  I really need a better system than stuffing everything into a giant folder and spending a week sorting it out come tax time.

IN JOBS FOR YOU: An entrepreneur should really invent a mobile payment application that automatically logs and classifies purchases and eliminates the need to input receipts manually into financial software.  You'll get my angel dollars if you do!  And if this already exists, please let me know.

For about a dozen videos, the pay was suboptimal, but I decided that if all exercises were shot in one take with minimal cuts, I could produce the videos for $2000 in a few days, maybe with the help of Montreal bootcamp master Lemieux Training:

I replied to the ad with my offer to shoot the videos in HD with my new camera. Here is the response I got:

Hello Aimee,


Thanks for your interest.


We aren't necessarily looking for somebody to shoot the videos for us. We want to purchase a compilation that's already been made. However, by all means we welcome anybody to make the videos but we would only be able to compensate $15-$20/ video.


To see the types of videos we are looking for you can check out the videos at:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/


If you feel that you could meet our requirements, I can send you further detials.


Regards,


Louis

Confused, and definitely with "butta client" in mind, I wrote back:

Louis,


I don't understand. Your ad suggests you want someone to produce the

videos for $2000. What is the difference between buying something

already shot and commissioning someone to shoot for the same price?



Aimee
--
 
Louis' ridiculous reply:  

Hi Aimee,



I apologize for any missunderstanding you had with my ad, however I thought I was being clear when I said I wanted to purchase the videos.


And you're right, it doesn't matter if the content has already been shot or not. However, our budget is $2000 all inclusive for 100 exclusive videos.
 
Regards,
Louis

OH COME ON! Really???? Is someone pulling my trapezius??? No, actually, it's just another pain in the glute. :p

I told Louis his ad pissed me off, wasted tbe time of professionals and that he's better off buying his own camera and paying an actor/trainer (ideally fairly) for a day.

He never wrote back.

I’ll pay for internet at your house if need be. I’ll put it in my name if you want. All you need to do is open the torrents I give you and move completed torrents to an external hard drive that I will loan to you and get back from you with the completed torrents.

Need person who can do the above and commit to it for about 3 months. Please let me know what you want in compensation. I’ll pay cash. No time wasters svp.

Why did this guy downgrade to a wireless device with expensive rates if he wanted to download torrents and needed a good data plan for at least 3 months?  Why further increase his expenses and hire a stranger and pay for a second connection?  Why doesn't this guy just pay for another connection at his own address and do the work himself?  What is he downloading exactly?

I think this is the answer:

Dude's married and dude's gotta keep it on the DL as in DownLoad.  He's doing some of this with his hard drive:

Either that or dude's a wuss and doesn't want to be fined 3 Gs for downloading Miss Congeniality.

Building it Versus Being Epic

IN JOBS FROM AROUND THE WEB:

Tonight, I'll be shooting Max's fifth Epic Meal Time Kid parody video. He is currently up to almost 100 000 views on his first video:

Hard to believe that a video I shot with the 

webcam of my Macbook Pro made it to 100k views.  

Quality of content matters more than production value on YouTube.

The irony of Max's video achieving such success is that we did not make the video with the intention of getting traffic; we were having fun emulating one of Max's favourite shows on YouTube the day after Christmas.  However, because we accidentally created a well-edited, pitch-perfect, in-demand parody, the views and ad revenue followed.

This has led me to conclude that you can simplify the marketing of a video or web projects into two approaches: either you craft your content perfectly for the YouTube community and capture its zeitgetist: "BE EPIC", which is extremely challenging to accomplish, or, you gradually build your video library, audience, friends and subscribers over time: "BUILD IT".

Because I have yet to make a video go viral on my OneHundredJobs YouTube channel, I have been focusing a lot of my energy on subscribing to new channels and commenting.  I absolutely have plans to create a video that causes a boom in traffic to my account, but until that happens, the most reasonable measure I can take is to keep on building it.  If you are on YouTube, please subscribe to my channel, and I'll return the favour.

Not everyone can be epic, but everyone can build it,

How to Get Paid (and How Not to Get Played)

IN JOBS FROM AROUND THE WEB:

2011/03 Mike Monteiro | F*ck You. Pay Me. from SanFrancisco/CreativeMornings on Vimeo

via @MeetFidel

I've been lucky so far with my clients for 100 Jobs because, with the exception of my Blackberry mascot disaster gig, I have been paid by every client.

Perhaps the reason why I have been paid is because the rates for some of my jobs were low.  However, I think it's more likely because I don't depend upon chance or luck to develop good financial relationships with my clients: I set clear expectations for services and payment from the first moment that I accept a job. As the above video identifies, setting up terms and deliverables immediately with a client will save you many headaches later down the road.  In the words of Dr. Phil, you teach people how to treat you.

If you are offered a job or handed a contract that does not protect you or is not construed in your best financial interests: try to negotiate with the client, and if that is impossible, walk away.  You're better off being free for better opportunities than stuck in an asymmetrical agreement.  Even if you are a creative person, you should be in business to do business, not for ego gratification (pleasing other people, love, fame) or creating for creating's sake.  There is nothing wrong with charging for your services and having reciprocal expectations for your clients.

Have you ever had a hard time being paid for your work?  How do you negotiate payment terms with your clients?

5 Minute Marcelle Make-up

Job 84 is all prettied up and ready to go out on the town!  Here is my first make-up tutorial ever featuring a beautiful selection of Marcelle cosmetics:

I wanted to create a natural look that any woman could apply quickly and wear to work, partially because a recent study by the American Economic Review showed that women who wear make-up earn 30% more than those who eshew cosmetics.  I do not think person's value resides entirely in the physical, but if you can help improve your economic value by investing in a $12 Marcelle lipstick, you should play the appearance marketing game and make the investment.

We will eventually be filming, with sound, a minimum of 20 X 10 minute segments indoors.

The segments will either be cultural interviews or cooking show segments.

We would like the segments to be recorded directly to disk so we can obtain an immediate copy of the work.

We are not looking for an expert camera crew.

Quality/ price is the issue and we can pay up to 10$ a segment.

This price includes setup time and coordination before the event.

As you can see, we are everything but 'last minute'.

Thank you

From Net to Network

IN BLIND JOB ITEMS JOBS FROM AROUND THE WEB:

Montreal's Nadia Giosia went from net to network 

with her comedy cooking show Bitchin Kitchen

I see my future in this article, minus the cooking theme. The web is a great incubator for entertainment concepts; development and popularity online are portable to traditional media.  Content creators who build their concepts, audience, social media presence and brands now are at a definitive advantage in pitching a concept to traditional media, as Nadia proves in her Fast Company interview.

Particularly for reality television, I believe the future of televised entertainment is sourcing new shows from web and then bringing them to the networks and then back to the web again as cable is phased out. I feel that all this will happen within the next ten years.

I am super ill tonight so I'll leave you with a whiny vlog entry and a three second Charlie Sheen remix that I cut this afternoon:

Content Mandala

I often feel this way about daily content creation; 
I'm painstakingly working towards an impermanent, beauutiful goal.

As Julien Smith would say, at least I'm on a quest
that gives my life purpose and meaning.

Daily blogging is like creating a sand mandala,

a ritual of creation, release and renewal.
Some lessons I feel I can draw from Buddhist sand mandalas:
The impermanence of work does not invalidate its necessity.
The impermanence of a work of art does not negate its creation.
Like human life, content creation is cyclical:
inspiration, production, creation, destuction, release and rebirth.

IN JOBS FROM AROUND THE WEB:

Although I disagree that he has a "revolutionary new idea," (in his words)

Mike is smartly leveraging the YouTube comment community

to run a low budget, interactive web project
that will change his life.

Mike from Boston is letting the YouTube community decide what he will do every week for a year, via his YouTube channel YouChoose2011.  I found out about his project via an "up voted" / featured self-promotional comment on Schmoyoho's autotuned Charlie Sheen Winning Song.  Mike is already partially winning at YouTube; he attracted close to 2000 subscribers in a month, likely through an aggressive comment driven self-promotional campaign.

He's right: "Anything can happen when you have a bunch of idiots and a camera."

Marketers and brands take note: although some pundits have declared that "Viral Video is a Waste of Money" (which I disagree in part with; most marketers spend very little time on YouTube and don't understand how to develop and push appropriate content), low-budget, subtly sponsored, personality and quest driven, [you-commerce] web projects like Mike's are just starting to be exploited to their full potential on YouTube.

If you have something to promote or sell, try to turn that product into a project to perform on YouTube.  Until you do, "idiots" like Mike (and myself) will be stealing your audience and your potential customers.*
