I feel like this needs it's own thread today. Last week I had a meeting with one of the guys in charge of consumer products at Microsoft. We were scheduled to meet for one hour, and he ended up talking with me for three!

He loved the DVDs and was going back to his office to call his Canon friends. And on top of all that, Microsoft is buying the first 400 DVD's to start!

So here's where I shamelessly ask for your help.

We started our Pre Orders today, and Microsoft and Canon are both very interested to see how many orders come through, in regards to them buying and the need out there for this product in the consumer world.

If you're in the mood to help the little guy out today, jump on our blog, check out our OFFICIAL sneak peak of the first DVD, post a comment, and pre order with us. I know most of you know the stuff in the DVD's, but how can you go wrong for $50?

Thanks guys!!!! Life is just taking crazy turns these days!

I ordered mine!!!
YEAH!!!!!

I'm so excited for you!

The sneak peak is FAB-U-LOUS, and you look SO CUTE & well spoken, and sincere..... I could go on and on and on!

Good job Me Ra -- AND JOSH!!!!!

I know you both have worked so hard on this, and I'm so happy & nervous for you at the same time!

I've been praying for both of you & your families daily!

got mine too!! I think that this will be an awesome tool in teaching my daughter a little more about photography.

Thanks Me Ra!!

Done! So excited for the opportunities you all have been running into! Woo Hoo!
This will be a possible gift for one of our clients which will then possibly lead to referrals and more sales!

Oh you guys are the BEST! Thanks so much!

I'm totally nervous too! I feel butterflies like crazy! I start a Webinar for Pictage in 10 minutes, and I have no idea why I'm nervous b/c I'm fine with interview stuff.

Maybe it's just every thing combined and especially lack of sleep! Wish me luck!

I just ordered one more (the one with the Pascaline's face on the cover) and I'll do it as an "up for grabs" prize on a blog game.
I normally give away $10 iTunes cards and do some random fun trivia game. They're super popular, but I KNOW FOR A FACT that this one will be even more popular cuz people are REALLY gonna want to win this one!

These DVDs are so cooooool that I pre-ordered before I read this thread.

MICROSOFT & CANON?!?!?

Wow! Soon we will able to say—


"... Yea, I knew Me Ra back when....."

So proud. You deserve it. Teach us more!

That is SOOOO awesome!! You go girl!!!

Me Ra, that is AMAZING!! Congrats!!

Thanks you guys! And believe me, I take you with me wherever I go! Had so much fun telling the Microsoft guy about OSP and Show It!





You are AWESOME Liana! Just looking at your DVD's last night, and OMG! They look incredible! You are the number crunching lady with such a great message! Can't wait to catch up at WPPI, we should set even fifteen minutes aside for coffee.

WOW GUYS!
Thanks so much for supporting us as we come out with this project. IT MEANS ALOT!
We want to show these guys at Microsoft that this is a product that would totally help them in there quest to improve the overall apeal of the new vista photography side.

Me & Me Ra both believe in this project and hope that you guys support us in prayer and as friends!

THANKS GUYS SO MUCH!

Me Ra,

What a great idea! I bet it will really take off--it's such a unique product. I don't think I've seen anything like it out there--way to put the power back into the hands of the parents. I can see why Microsoft is interested ("your potential, our passion")...will they market it? Or give it away with photo software of something? The possibilities are endless!!

Congrats!!

Brian would disagree. He thinks numbers are very sexy.

When should we meet? I'm only there until Wed. afternoon.




Thanks Eric! Your support means the WORLD!!




He was full of ideas! He agreed that the potential was endless. I think he even asked me if I realized I was sitting on a gold mine. Trying not to get to excited. My dad and brother have taught me to just wait and see what reallly unfolds. You guys buying it today and supporting us is what I'm celebrating!!

Hehe.

How's about Monday after my platform sometime ? What time do u have your tradeshow stuff?

Done - Order #306 - which shows you gotta lotta orders today!!!

Congratulation Me ra and Josh..

I've just ordered mine number #307

The sample rocks... I would order but I can't swing it this month.

My wife is due to give birth any day now and I'm working 5 jobs just to make ends meat.

Time for me to raise my prices for 2008.

You guys are to good to us! Josh just emailed and said, "Do we really have 300 orders?" But somehow the orders total combined with other products.

But we have sold a handful! And getting up there!




Monday's great! You tell me when. I have a crazy day Sunday and Monday morning. But afternoon, things slow down.

Are you sure you won't be to tired? Remember Partner con when you did five million talks? You were so tired at the end! I think that's why you laughed so much, not b/c Brian and I were funny but you were about ready to fall over.

Oh honey, you Birds are hilarious whether I'm delerious or not! LOL. How's about let's connect when things slow down for ya Monday (after your tradeshow cameo?) and give me a ring a ling. U've got my cell still, right? We can get champaign and crepes with LOTS of chocolate if we're all tired.

GO ME RA GO!!!!!!

I also think Taco Bell is Sexy!

Thanks all for ordering this DVD. It's totally crazy how supported by our community we feel.

All YOU PHOTOGRAPHERS are AWESOME!!!

I feel like we are part of one of the best communities on the planet.
