Chris Guillebeau, The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future
I’ve written about Chris Guillebeau’s work before.
I wrote a song about his first book, The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World
I took his year-long course, the Empire-Building Kit, as I slowly pulled Hello, The Future! from a business that made $289.45 in January 2011 to a business that made $1,361.00 in January 2012.
And Chris sent me an advance copy of The $100 Startup
But not until next week. Chris asked me not to start the actual sharing and discussion until next week. That’s so you can have a chance to get your own copy of The $100 Startup
for yourself and read it first.
Come back on Tuesday, May 15 for the discussion. Chapters 1 and 2, please.

A’ight, team.
So some of my Twitter friends (@macaronique and @simalot) were asking me today where they could go to buy all of my music at once.
I was all “um… Bandcamp…” but they were “no no no no no what we want is a one-click solution.”
Okay. Here we go.
The Hello, The Future! Complete Discography!Pick whether you would like the digital download package or the CD package (spoiler alert: the CD package also comes with a set of digidownloads), make your single click, and I will send you copies of the following:
The Albums
Infinity Right Now: the original, and best. Remastered in 2011!
Sidekick and Other Songs: includes the song Sidekick! And other songs!
Hello, The Future! Gets Her Filk On At Philcon: the LIVE ALBUM. Close your eyes and it’s like being at a show with your eyes closed!
Song Fu 2012: song-a-month for a year, yo. I’ll continue to send you a song each month until December 2012. If you pick “CD version,” I’ll send you the CD after the year-long project is up.
The Singles
What I Mean To Say Is This (the Eff Yeah Nerdfighters song): previously unreleased!
No Hunger Games Can Get Me: includes Hunger Games spoilers! Team Peeta!
No One Left To Love: includes Catching Fire and Mockingjay spoilers!
Merry Christmas, Harry Potter: includes Harry Potter spoilers!
King of Town: sure why not I’ll throw that one in there
Bonus material!
Because I like you and this project is so awesome, I’ll include:
A mini-comic drawn by me! (You’ll get this regardless of whether you pick the CD or digital package. Just give me your address, and I’ll send you a comic.)
The PDF version of the fantasy novel I wrote when I was 16, The Red Book of Cordia. It’s full of empires and swords and princes and mysterious necklaces and stuff.
Here’s that button again, in case you didn’t click it the first time:
