Stay Tuned

Here is a quick and incomplete round up of the competition. They are my brothers in art and commerce. We all do the same thing a little different. Like musicians or directors we try to tell a story putting a personal stamp of its overall feel. We try to bridge the chasm that separates emotion and intellect, inspiration and motivation, results and experience. In other words, we try to make each and every story or film or novel or video unique, fresh and inventive. We are assisted along the way by the incredible advancement in technologies; HD cameras, cpu power, GPS, memory and media storage, the internet. But most importantly we are motivated by you. None of us would be doing this if there wasn't an existing (and growing) demand for our work. The global community has spoken. And here is what they have said (from the market research department at RCVman central HQ):

We will train indoors on stationary cycles if you provide motivational, educational, informative and entertaining video to augment our desire to lose weight, stay in shape, get faster, burn calories, socially interact, prepare for races, obtain greater fitness, manage stress, cross train or have fun. Data is of secondary concern. We wanna rock and we wanna roll. Bring it.

The people have spoken.

Communication received.

Stay tuned.
