#146 When you ask the people in front of you if they’re in line and they’re not

I went to the airport yesterday.

Obviously, I got jacked on parking and my little pick up trip turned into a twelve-dollar fine for swerving around the maze-like lot for twenty minutes. On my way out I stopped at the Pay For Parking machines and, sure enough, all of them were packed with people.

I tapped my foot like Sonic The Hedgehog for a minute before noticing a woman spoon-feeding her baby in a stroller near one of the machines. I moseyed on up and softly said, “Sorry ma’am, are you… using this?” to which she replied “Oh, no, not yet, go ahead.”

Who feeds their baby in front of a parking machine?

Well maybe I’ll never know the answer to that.

But I’m so glad I asked asked.

Because it put me on the fast track.

AWESOME!

Hey everyone,

Thank you so much for supporting the launch of the first awesome book in four years!

I’m really excited to announce that right here, right now, we are launching the first ever fully interactive, hyper-photorealistic children’s book in the entire world.

Want to see it?! Check it out here.

And how did this book get made??

Well, all kid’s books up till now are illustrations or photos. But we partnered with a Discovery Channel animation studio to stitch together images from NASA, electron-microscope-wielding scientists, and beach and wildlife photographers from around the world. (My favorite was a guy from Cuba who took pictures of crabs for us.)

And that whole story brings us all to this, to here, to now. I’m excited to share this new book in the awesome series with all of you. Where the other books are the observation of awesome this is the first one that shares the experience of awesome.

Awesome Is Everywhere is available for order today on Indigo or Amazon.

I hope you like it,

Neil
