How To Revitalize B.F.E.

It dawned on me that with the dawn of the IT Age, podunkvilles across the globe should really invest in getting high speed internet, then luring techies etc. to live there.

My job is 95% online. Why not live in Uken Village, Japan or Bamako Mali, instead of say, Toledo Ohio? The world is your oyster, that is if you're not allergic.

Hip Hop Hall and Oates

I may have posted this before but my dream band would be a hip hop unit that covers hall and oates.

The Korean band G.O.D. did a recasting of Out of Touch that was pretty sweet, and that is kind of what inspired. Except I don't understand Korean.

Slacker's Guides

I am lazy. I slack.
Do you?
Then you, like me, want the easy answer.

Along the lines of Dr John's readers, the Slacker's Guides will give readers the abridged scoop on everything. Like Complete Idiot's Guides or Dummy's Guides, but not so involved. Shorter and more condensed. These will be the Cliff's Notes for life.

No guarantees. Just more information to float around in your noggin

Dr, John's Readers

So I like reading on the shitter, and I think a lot of people do.
I have found the best books to read are short, with lots of small 1 to 2 page sections.
Like the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series, or some of your standard business how-to type books.

Here I take this Cliff Notes approach to a broad range of subjects, from history to current events, Dadaism to avant garde jazz, and create a whole series of easy to ready booklets designed for the busy pooper.

Content can be culled from Wikipedia etc. and refined by a cadre of starving freelance writers. We hire a good designer to do the Dr John logo, and bam! we are the Complete Idiot's guide to toilet reading.
