I just got a very persuasive email from William Channer of Dorm Room Tycoon.

In the first sentence of the email, he said, “Are you open to the idea of putting a link to your interview on your blog http://random.andrewwarner.com/ ?” The second sentence was a link the interview I did on his site.

Now that’s the way to freakin’ ask for something. I get about a dozen emails every day from people who ask me to do stuff, and I REALLY WANT TO HELP, but I can’t understand what they’re asking for because they bury their requests under paragraph after paragraph of backstories, explanations and other text that’s supposed to help me say yes.

I guess he’s using the advice I gave when he interviewed me on his site earlier this year.

Check out my Dorm Room Tycoon interview with William and let me know what you think.

I know it’s not new, but I’ve only recently started using it.

Why do Kindle commercials focus on how many books the device holds?

Does anyone really have a burning need to carry thousands of books?

Aren’t there more realistic reasons to want a Kindle? For me, reading free book samples and not having to wait for books to come in the mail are much more meaningful reasons.

The app is MegaReader

Looks like he got a fair amount of press on the new feature.

I’m mostly posting this link to WeTransfer because I want to remember how to find it the next time I need to transfer a big file via email.

I used to love Drop.io, but it closed down after Facebook bought it.

Now I mostly use Dropbox, but it’s not always convenient for large file transfers, mostly because I have to remember to delete files from my Dropbox after recipients are done with them. Usually, I forget to do that, so my Dropbox public folder is littered with junk that I’ll have to go clean up some time.

Any way, back to WeTransfer. I’m recommending it because all you have to do is 1) upload a file, 2) add your email and 3) enter your recipient’s email. Seems the site’s revenue comes from showing sponsored pictures while files are uploading and downloading. So it’s a very unintrusive revenue model.

If you know anyone I could hire to create a page template like this, email me.
