I must admit that when it comes to self-development, I prefer a scientific approach.

It's just my style.

Give me brainwave charts and feedback forms, vs therapy groups and herbal remedies.

One thing that you should know is that I really believe in the power behind subliminal messages.

I've seem them work with startling results!

Subliminal messages are little positive affirmations that are delivered "below the threshold of consciousness."

So they may be flash quickly on a computer screen, or spoken softly - or in reverse - in an audio recording.

It happens in a way that the conscious mind can't pick it up. But the subconscious does. It takes it as a direct command - and changes the way it operates as a result.

So a subliminal affirmation of "I am confident" - will help you become more confident.

Subliminal messages are powerful. No doubt about it.

That's why today I'd like to tell you about Subliminal Power.

Now, I helped to develop the first version of Subliminal Power. It's now installed on around one million computers worldwide. It's fans include Olympic athlete winners and gurus such as Joe Vitale.

Subliminal Power installs onto your PC and flashes messages around your computer screen as you work.

It turns every minute you're using your computer into a practical self-development workshop.

It's easy to use and completely unobtrusive. It also comes with a full 28-day risk-free guarantee. Try it out, see if it works - get a refund if you're not 100% thrilled.

Interested?

I invite you to discover the official website, online at:

(If you own a Mac, you can try out the cross-platform Brain Bullet, which effectively does the same thing.)

Check it out. I promise you'll love it.

It never ceases to amaze me how much my writing is whored about.

Three weeks ago, I stumbled across a ten-year old article of mine online, while searching for the lyrics to Mas Que Nada.

And just last week, I crossed a guide to online marketing in the search results... while searching for a specific breed of sheep, to help complete a crossword puzzle.

Then, about ten minutes ago, I was searching for a pre-made VB .NET text processing function... and I actually stumbled across an entire chapter from one of my books!

And that reminded me... "Oh yeah, I've written a couple of books!"

Many visitors to my main site come from the programming world, and I realized that I've never mentioned my books here on the blog.

So, let's change that now...

I've written exactly two books on Visual Basic .NET development. The books have survived a good few print runs and have been translated into a couple of languages.

Okay, so Agatha Christie I'm not.

But "karl moore visual basic" is still one of the most popular terms people use to find my website.

Now, when I entered the technology development industry, there were exactly two books I wanted to buy -- but weren't available.

Firstly, a guide that took you from knowing absolutely zippo, through to being a pretty hot VB .NET programmer. No publisher offered a tutorial-style book that spoke in plain ENGLISH.

And so I wrote one: "Karl Moore's Visual Basic .NET: The Tutorials."

Secondly, I wanted a book containing all of those crazy chunks of code developers spend HOURS trying to write. Stuff that would take your programming to the next level -- and make your next application "supercool" (as I used to say in those days).

And so I wrote "The Ultimate VB .NET Code Book!"

The books have received some fantastic reviews. And if you're interested, you can read a couple of the interviews I made when they were released... such as this one, or this one.

There were a couple of others... but, heck, I'm disorganized.

Now, it's been three years now since my last computer book was released and I don't have plans for any more. I've been approached with a number of offers -- but at this time, I'm retiring from the tech programming world.

Both of the books are still totally up-to-date however... and will turn you into a programming guru WITHOUT having to read a dozen 1500-page draft excluders.

So if you're interested, check them out: "Karl Moore’s Visual Basic .NET" (Amazon: USA, UK) and "The Ultimate VB .NET Code Book" (Amazon USA, UK).

Big thanks to everyone that has supported my writing work, and especially those that have bought my book(s).

Thanks for reading -- and enjoy!
