I guess the cat’s out of the bag. Even though the site hasn’t even launched yet, people are already talking about Free IQ, the new media e-commerce platform for valuable business videos and more.

Free IQ is the new media e-commerce platform which enables experts and authors to host and stream an unlimited amount of audio and video – for free. Powered by a powerful and generous two-tier affiliate network, Free IQ brings best practices of info marketing to anyone with valuable content.

Here are some of the rumblings I’ve spotted:

This online marketer, Michelle Chance, looks forward to an online video site where her business videos won’t get “lost in the clutter.”

Joel Comm, of Dr. AdSense fame, just built an online forum — just for discussing Free IQ.

And Dan Buglio, a full-time e-commerce entrepreneur, is already blogging on a site dedicated to helping others maximize the opportunity of Free IQ.

If you spot others, let me know. The beta site will be launched soon, but you can check it out now.

If you don’t know about Pew Research and PewInternet.org, they track an ton of helpful statistics for online marketers.

Here’s the latest report on who’s using the internet, by demographic. Interesting.

Gary Halbert died today.

Very sad. He wasn’t old enough, whatever that means, but if you’re one of the lucky ones who had the pleasure of knowing him, you know he probably lived as much in one life as any three people put together.

Gary was a true original. The kind they mean when they say, “They broke the mold after they made him.”

Except Gary would never say, “They broke the mold after him,” because that’s a tired expression.

And when it came to coming up with new ways to express an idea, new ways to hit you between the eyes (old metaphor) with plain black and white text, there are few who could hold a candle (another one) to Gary.

Gary was one of the more purely creative people I’ve known. And smart. He just didn’t seem to think like other people. But he sure could relate to them with plain English.

For marketers everywhere, and especially for aspiring copywriters, Gary was a real inspiration.

One of the best things about him was that he gave away all of his old newsletters — many of them pure gems of wit, tips and ideas — on his web site The Gary Halbert Letter.

Though he called it “The Most Valuable Website on the Entire Internet!” — you didn’t even have to opt-in to read all of his old material.

By the way, many of us who teach internet marketing have always told people to read all Gary’s material and print out his old newsletters because you never knew if he might change his mind and take them down. After awhile, I believed he never would. Gary liked people reading his prose, and he made his living as a real, working copywriter. The old newsletters did more for his client development than any client meeting ever could.

I’m sure that whoever has control of Gary’s site will leave his material up — I’m pretty sure that’s the way Gary would want it. But you never know, maybe some hosting bill won’t get paid. If you don’t have all of Gary’s newsletters, and you’re serious about marketing, you should. TheGaryHalbertLetter.com

If you never had the pleasure of meeting him, sadly, you’ve missed your chance. But if you hang around those who knew him for long at all, you’ll hear enough Gary stories to make you feel like you knew him, too.

Gary always had the best stories.

If you’ve never had the chance to go from 0 to 150 miles per hour in two seconds, I highly recommend it. In fact, the opposite — going from 150 mph to 0 in two seconds is pretty fun, too. That’s what happens when you land and take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier.

I had the chance to do both of these things this week, an unbelievable experience.

The video below was shot from the cockpit of the plane that brought me to the aircraft carrier, the Harry S. Truman, by my friend and StomperNet member, Lt. John Voight, one of the pilots.

John hooked me up with the Navy’s program that allows civilians to experience first-hand the incredible operational marvel of a modern nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Our group of nine flew out to the Truman on a C-2A Greyhound, spent the night on board amid tremendous naval hospitality, toured the ship, watched an air show at sea, and talked to everyone from the hardworking sailors to the captain and admiral and flew back the next day.

Of course, flying back required a 0 to 150 mph catapult launch off the deck — WooHoo!

This is the plane we flew, a C-2A Greyhound. It’s a turboprop that operates COD runs (Carrier Onboard Delivery).

To see the view from our plane as we land on the carrier, click the video below:

The whole trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We got to stand on the flight deck, not more than 5-10 yards from the runway where F-18 Hornets and other jets and planes were landing. Here’s a photo of our group with an F-18 landing right behind us and a video.

As you can see, we’re not more than a few yards from the actual runway.

To see them launching, here’s a video I took from the flight deck of a jet taking off. When the F-18’s launch, they are so loud and it vibrates so much that it kept shutting my camera off. Argh! (It’s so loud you have to wear ear plugs inside the normal hearing protectors.) Here’s a video of one launching from across the runway.

Inside the carrier, we met with the people in charge of almost every department. We toured everything from the bridge, air traffic control, the mess halls (serving over 18,500 meals a day), the jet engine repair shop, munitions and magazines to the flight deck, waste management (all plastics compressed and taken off the ship) and the room with the anchor (two 1,000 ft chains where each link weighs 365 pounds).

On the second afternoon, three other ships in the carrier group came alongside to watch an air show at sea. We saw F-18’s launch fake missiles, and saw two jets fly by the ship and break the sound barrier right in front of us. Here’s a video of a jet flying faster than the speed of sound:
