dispatches from the new world of work

Remarkabalize

As we told you last month, Tom is one of the 33 authors of The Big Moo (it'll be published on October 20 and you can pre-order a copy here). Tom has referred to Julie Anixter, another of The Big Moo authors, as his "Official Muse." She has started a network called Remarkabalize with co-author Dean DeBiase which is based on the ideas of The Big Moo and is producing the Big Moo movement. Their website launched today: www.remarkabalize.com. Cool concept: One of their offerings is the ability to customize the cover of the book with bulk purchases. Check that out here. They also tell the remarkable stories of the charities that will receive 100% of author royalties from The Big Moo here. Makes you want to get out there and start doing something remarkable, doesn't it?

It reminds me of the Little Rascals episode where the toddler's favorite phrase was "ree-maahk-ah-bull"!
Maybe they could use it as a audio tagline on the website...

Yes, it does.
And, constructively - I'm genuinely not here to rain on anyone's fun parade, something which makes (rather than simply surfs) waves.

Perhaps I'm wrong/mistaken... it came across as a litttle too self-congratulatory for my taste.

My point here... I think Peters is a 'genuine troublemaker' - and I mean that in a good and great way - who'd do what he does almost regardless... I have a mental image of him prowling the shores of a desert island on which he'd been marooned, gathering bottles in which to launch his 'publish any damn way you can' message.

As for 'the rest of us/'em' - with the possible exception of Godin (who I believe is a real troublemaker in the wings - when he's made the cash to be able to truly detatch from the outcome) - well, we're just trying to get noticed and make a name for ourselves any way we reasonably can.

On a quick scan before 'send', I can't help feeling this post doesn't make clear my constructive intent - oh well, let's see.
