imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:31:56 PDT

40 Ranting Freak

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:11:10 PST

Beware for the ranting used in Chapter 40. Daniel rips into frustrations due to the likes of Norton, all-in-one's and the new Apple Air. You are guided down each category and shown an industry that favors their advertisers products but will not admit to it. The new Air is keyed on the reasons why a Firewire port is not included on the world "thinnest laptop" along with how Apple cheated consumers by having only one USB port. The lack of ethernet ports to bloatware are chewed up and spat out. Listen in to hear the shocking truth.

39 Sound It Out

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:53:24 PST

The evolution of sound has been down played by the attention placed on video and special effects. Audio fidelity has been compromised to fit into the "pop" genre to equal out EQ levels and make way for high compression to fit the market of iPod's and digital downloads. However, in the era of High Definition screens and next generation DVD disc to make visuals more stunning the audio tools given to pro-sumers and even consumers is staggering. If a person is willing to learn the hardware and more importantly, the software the average audio quality becomes the extraordinary. Please click below to hear for yourself.

38 Piggy Bank

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:50:59 PST

We have a packed chapter for you. In Chapter 38, we talk symbolically about loose change in our lives. In this example we use a piggy bank as an analogy to our life investments. Dropping loose change into the bank is similar to investing in a future that can not be seen. Unless I peak, I can not precisely predict when my piggy bank will be full. As we start with an empty bank the change we add will not seem to be adding much. However, over time if we are consistent, it will pay off.

37 Wait One Second

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:28:37 PST

To a chronic multitasker, everything is a task. Soon, the things in life that are really important to them are in the same list as everything else, and the only tasks that get done are the ones that have become urgent, but often aren’t very important. Also, Daniel discusses American sleep expert Doctor Sara Mednick describes taking a regular nap as a "lifesaving habit" that can help improve your health and sex life, slim the waist and boost work performance.

36 Know Theyself

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:23:09 PST

In Chapter 36 we cover the importance of knowing our strengths and weaknesses. The more our work integrates with our dreams the more energy we will have with what we do. We are most energized when our unique gifts are most utilized. We are unique people with unique gifts and strengths. When we move to pursue or dreams often takes a courageous bold move. This is stressful and causes anxiety. Our one and only life is not a dress rehearsal.

35 Creativity and ADD

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 15:02:18 PST

Too often people (ADD or not) spend too much time trying to deny, hide or fix their weakness. In doing so they don’t spend enough time focusing on and developing and leveraging their strengths.

32 Podcast vs. Internet Radio

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:58:33 PST

Podcasts are not dead but the name is in a state of transition. Just as the podcast is being decided upon so too are the official names for those who produce them. Not only will I market that I am a podcaster but Imaginate will also use terms such as "content producer/publisher and independent producer". The time has come not to be pro Apple for the sake that we dislike Microsoft. A community that can help the new media market grow must include Apple, Linux and Microsoft users.

28 Focus In

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:22:02 PDT

In Chapter 28, Daniel talks about the concept and definition of the label "grownup". What does it mean to be a grown-up? While pondering these perceptions the theme of the old "Toys R Us" commercials is first to come to mind. "I don't want to grow up...I'm a Toys R Us kid.." The label of being grown up is a misnomer. Most are afraid to grow up because it is associated as one must stop growing. This applies not only to the physically but also emotionally and spiritually.

27 Podcast For Real

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:49:16 PDT

The road to professional blogging and podcasting is very rough and demands patience and constientcy. This new media form is not a "get rich quick" opportunity.

17-Simple Not Stupid

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:33:21 PDT

The TechCrunch podcast was interviewing James Hong, Co-Founder of Hot Or Not. Through this interview Mr. Hong could communicate in such a way that allowed me insight into the power of simplicity. They evolved from offering a service as a hobby and adapted to immediate growth by offering a paid subscription "dating" service. Recently, the company has since dropped the subscription in favor of offering it for free receiving its revenues through advertisement. Hong also brought the concept of replacing text with pictures or logos that we are familiar with. He wisely perceived that people generally, do not want to read. They would rather click a picture or watch a simple animation rather than having to read text. Also about podcasting I listened to the latest Technorati. The discussion focused on the current state of podcasting in the current multimedia industry. As the show progressed I identified with "those who pursue a quality show without the backing of a magazine or network television can still receive benefits by the experience. This is true because since I have been producing it has allowed me to learn so much about the industry. By producing content and learning how to present my message I concluded that I can use podcasting as a promotional tool for the services I offer.

At 6 PM, Friday night the much anticipated Apple iPhone was released. Imaginate Productions was at the Lenox Mall in Atlanta, Georgia covering the event. Daniel J. Sellers interviews those who stood in line to assure they could purchase their own. We also saw how Apple went to great lengths to insure a great experience as employees cheered customers as they were escorted into the store. Security personnel were placed at key strategic locations to assure the lines moved smoothly, and no one could cut into line. It was a historical event, and Apple made sure it was a pleasant experience to remember for all time.

14-See You On iTunes

imaginatepro@gmail.com (Daniel J. Sellers) — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 21:30:19 PDT

It is very important that listeners first read the article at imaginatepro.com/blogs "See You On iTunes" before listening. Promoting, distributing and submitting your original content to online music stores can be a daunting process. As independent artists and labels it is difficult for your content to even be seen without the help of the "Big Four" recording labels. The music industry is rapidly evolving, and content providers have new doors that have never been an option now available. The independent labels and artist are being called to fill a void of content. There is a desperate need for quality content. During this Chapter Daniel Sellers covers TuneCore and IODA that serve as a music delivery and distribution service that get the artist' original music, including cover versions, up for sale on all major online download services. Then we cover CDBaby and the important services they offer which include generating a barcode for you. Please review Imaginate's podcast on iTunes. Also in the blog will be an option for you to Digg this article.

13 Freedom Is Not Free

We did not want the shows that are displayed on podcast directories to be numbered than the chapter we were calling each show after episode 9.5. Officially we are now on Chapter 13. With the change we are challenging superstition with the number 13. Updates about Imaginate Productions. The podcasting industry is changing with mainstream media pushing out many ametuer podcasters for the spotlight. Imaginate will focus on using podcasting as a promotional tool making sure the push to advertise does not compromise the mission Imaginate Productions has set. From the production and feedback from the Imaginate shows, I have a clearer picture of what services I want to build and add on to. Pursuing your dream will cost you. This not only applies to finances. You must be willing to ask yourself, "What am I willing to give up for the pursuit of this dream." Everything in life costs. Freedom is not free. Direction is mandatory if you will get a destination. If you do not have at least a piece of your vision, you risk being toppled by the harsh waves of life. In the review and comments portion of the show I cover Justin.tv and Justine.tv. Are these pioneers of the next step in evolution of personalizing the web?

11 Growth of Art

Longfellow once said, "Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto his glory." However at Imaginate Productions we are challenging the definition of an artist and seek to find what individual art is and then collaborate with others. Glenn Gould stated, "The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but rather the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity." In Chapter of 11 of the Imaginate chronicle, we discuss these enduring questions with Anthony Novak. Novak is an artist in numerous ways such as a musician, painter and now fatherhood. Daniel Sellers interviews Mr. Novak about topics including how to balance internal and external art and how one remains true to the art that expands into adulthood.

Shai The Gift

This tale was meant to be interpretive. This story was written and read by Daniel Sellers of Imaginate Productions. The following paragraph will simply give the outline of the theme and what the child Shai represents through my point of view. The name Shai is from the Hebrew language meaning "gift". The theme of the tale is most people fear what they do not understand and act accordinaly to this emotion. Society resists change. The little girl with unique abilities is symbolic of an artist often considered an outsider.
