Ted Murphy’s Vision Restored My Sight

Ted Murphy's Vision Restored My Sight

My glasses from Zenni Optical arrived yesterday. Last night after work was my last time to wear my sunglasses on the drive home. I felt like an idiot wearing them each night at dusk and then having to go inside places wearing my sunglasses. I felt like I was looking “too cool for school” or something.

But because I ordered some glasses from Zenni Optical, a place I would not have heard about had it not been for Ted Murphy, I had quality prescription glasses waiting for me at home. I attribute this to Ted Murphy because he had the vision to found PayPerPost and subsequently IZEA and all of its holding. I had heard about Zenni Optical from many other bloggers and I even blogged about it on more than one occasion, but I hadn’t had reason to try it until now. Well, now I have a pair of glasses from Zenni Optical and I love them. The total cost of the pair of glasses was $39.95. You may also recall that I had my prior pair of glasses sent out for new lenses. Yesterday I called Pleasant Optical, our family eyeglasses store for years, to find out why my glasses were still not back. I was told that they would call the manufacturer and get right back to me. I called again that afternoon to find out that my particular lenses were on back order. So lenses that I ordered before my Zenni Optical Lenses are still not in. On top of that they are going to cost me $239.95 a full $200.00 more than my Zenni glasses. Guess what mistake I’m not ever going to make in the future.

Now Ted, the only thing I ask is that you get Zenni Optical on the Social Spark affiliate program.

XShot Affiliate

XShotI am so thrilled to be able to tell you that I am now have affiliate links for the XShot 2.0. I am doing this through the awesome site SocialSpark. Back at IZEAFest 2008 I was given 12 XShot 2.0s to hand out to bloggers. I got one in the hands of IZEA CEO, Ted Murphy, and he is hooked on using it. If you got to his blog Ted.me you can see blog posts and videos where Ted uses the XShot 2.0 that I gave to him.

Ted and Me!

Even John Chow received one and he spotlighted it as a gadget of the week once. That was because my friend Heather brought her’s with her to a Dot Com Pho lunch meeting with John.

XShot with John Chow

I’ve had an xshot for a few years now and I’ve taken hundreds of pictures with it. I’ve even used it to film video while walking, rollerblading and also in the pool. I used it to extend my reach above the heads of the crowds at Buckingham Palace to film the changing of the guards. I’ve used it to photograph myself with all my Transformers.

I’ve run multiple contests to give away the XShot or to reward photographers with money and Flickr Pro Accounts for their great pictures while using the XShot. Everywhere that I go I am asked about the XShot. I even connected a group of photographers who are going to South Africa with XShot so that they could use the product on their trip. I also consider the creator of the XShot, Michael, a good friend. He’s done right by me for so long and now I am proud to promote XShot on this blog. You can see the photos I have taken with the XShot and XShot 2.0 on Flickr.

The XShot allows you to extend the reach of your arm up to 37 inches. You can quickly attach your digital camera or digital video camera to the XShot and take photos or video of yourself and others with you. I’ve gotten large groups of people in a single shot just by using the XShot.

The family photo

It is also great for me when I am on the road and want to get a photo of myself in front of something. Or to say, use it to take a photo of myself and a friend from the top of a moving double decker bus.
