FYI Central

How much do you think it cost to have a video message/will made?

I remember a time when it was something only rich people could afford. It still costs a lot to have a lawyer schedule a video photographer and his time by the hour and perhaps witnesses. I would guess it costs about $2k. It’s something I wouldn’t pay for because the cash would be more appreciated. Of course if it cost $25.00 I wouldn’t hesitate. I spend more then that a month on coffee.

Guess what I’ve done.

I made it possible to create inexpensive, video messages using a smart-phone or cell and a laptop and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg get. In fact it is a better tool for use while you’re alive and able to enjoy it. Once you have created photo albums and video logs, using pictures, music and/or video messages that bring them all to life. You can get them anytime online to share from anywhere in the world. You just have to log in and there they are.

Imagine relaxing at work with a (500) picture slide shows that you arranged in the order of you choice. Or sharing them with your relatives, you can even make a tribute to someone to play at a party. If it’s a slide-show you can add music to play in the background. Or maybe share your homemade videos of when you were an aspiring rock star and listen to the video.

Anything you can upload and can be secured.

Secured dual encryption using state of the art technology. We go beyond the trusted VeriSign Secured certifications. Same as those used by banks and government agencies.

Even before your messages are sent they are encrypted for storage. Password protected until you log in again. Then it when you log-off and encrypt it again.

Soldiers in Iraq or you on a trip could use your cell phone and its camera as your portable file. Then later dress up your messages and share them when you get home. And still use the material to attach to messages to be sent later. Keep in mind that you can select which image you want on each message. And you are given an unlimited number of e-mail messages to make. It’s like having a file cabinet with unlimited amount of folders.

You are just paying for storing the data. The tools to create every thing it’s FREE.

You’re only paying for the storage. You can open your vault any time you want 24/7. The catch is we can only deliver your messages once. Our policy is to never open or share your content. We automatically deliver messages to the address you assigned to it. If you don’t ever want anyone to see private pictures or read personal letters you can hide them here. If you don’t use a real email address or use a separate email address, that message with photos will disappear, automatically.

According to my web engineers the “message” half of RTI members area they created can revolutionized a different industry. I am not going to tell you about that because they can start their own company with it. I have my purpose for it.

Ironic as this is I built this technology for the dying.

But it just turned out to be as useful for the living!

We are more then a data storage system.

STATE OF THE ART – AFTER-LIFE DELIVERY SYSTEM

I AM VERY PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE CREATED

We hope our tools will help a lot of people, especially you.

www.RegretToInform.com The internet company that cares, If you know someone that will not live forever please tell them we can help their family ;  )

Hello, my name is Gerald “Yukio” Collins

Welcome to FYI Central Blog Community (FYI) & RegretToInform.com (RTI) we are one of the most unique online delivery service you will ever come across.  Because we allow you to automatically deliver  your messages for you after you have passed away.

Created as a hospice tool, to assist those of you that know your time here on Earth is short. It could be that you have an illness that you are battling with daily, which are in the millions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in collaboration with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR). Download the complete report for 2004 only (PDF-8.51 MB).

This is my attempt to carry on something taught to me by observing my fathers concern for other people. Something he referred to as, Caring and Sharing.

Caring or, being concerned about others & Sharing a helping hand or smile to touch the heart of someone suffering and looking for a helping hand or word of encouragement.

RTI was conceived as a Hospice tool to give people with life threatening illnesses a way to say goodbye, on their path to the other side of life.

Hospice trains their volunteers to quietly listen when their patients feels the need to talk about their past. It is a normal phase of finding closure. I also wanted to give them an opportunity to say goodbye or I am sorry for the way things happened in the past. Everyone that experiences dealing with finality experiences loneliness either brought on to them by friends and family not knowing what to do or say. Or they choose to alienate themselves so they do not have to explain the terrible news.

Given the need to get an email address our members would have to call old friends and say hello. There’s no need to explain anything about an illness, if they don’t want to. Mention RTI and explain you just want to be prepared in case an accident happens, or you were uploading old pictures and thought of them.

It is always sad to see someone you love (a normally busy person) not receive many visitors or have someone they would like to talk to not be aware of the situation.  Day after day looking out the window thanking God for each and every little thing throughout the day. If I and RTI can give them a reason to pick up the phone and say hello old friend, I thought I’d give you a call… perhaps friendships will reconnect for one last time. Closure might just be a little easier for everyone.

The member area was built to create decorative messages with slide-shows and video capabilities. Hoping they will find comfort in reminiscing and remembering the good times. But it was also built to give those crossing over and those left hear to grief the loss help each other through these most difficult times of life that we all experience several times in our life, that of losing loved ones. And something we will all face some day only once. You never know when you only know you will, let’s just hope your loved ones are ready for it.

The FYI Central was built for us to communicate with each other. I wanted a place where You & I together could help make life better for people suffering an illness you might have overcome or are battling to this day. I can not say what challenges an HIV patients has to deal with but I have seen what a paraplegic has to deal with. You have a wisdom I do not possess, so please use FYI to help others and keep everything compassionate. I am looking for people to help me, help others.

Helping the less fortunate of the world is always a good thing to do. Every neighborhood has home-bound citizens with almost nothing to do but look out the window. Not any more.

RTI is a place to feel good about yourself and the life you lived. You will reminisce and reflect on the good times in life. You’ll be surprised how easy I’ve made it for you make works of art that document your life.

Our members are given an online safe deposit box to store (upload) messages, photos, videos, drawings and music (media). They can create an unlimited amount of messages and use any of the media they have uploaded to be a part of that message or autobiography. Available anytime 24/7 whenever the desire to write is there, our members can work and stay busy from any Internet connection even a cell phone.

Statistic tells us on any given day thousands of people experience a life threatening condition. Automobile accidents and cancer affect thousands of families each day. Next month, throughout the United States, more than a thousand people will become crippled from a stroke and tens of thousand of friends and family members will be affected.

JUST FOR FUN

When I was about twenty one (21) years old I worked in helicopter manufacturing plant. Fabricating fiberglass parts became a mundane job once I mastered the techniques. My hands did the work with little need for concentration which allowed my mind to think of other things. I worked with an older fellow name Fred. He was about the age I am now (52). He had a grumpy disposition but we had to deal with him a few time a day because he ran the oven we baked our parts in. Everyone was usually a bother to him when we’d have to go in his area.

He took my question personally. Upset he followed me around the shop ranting, raving and taunting me with questions. Wanting to know what I was going do about it? What can anyone do? What could one man by himself possible do to fix the world?

I accepted his challenge to answer his question and said, “Alright I’ll give you an answer…just give me time”. Over a period of a few months every few days I’d give him my answers on every subject I could think of. When combined to work together it became a plan that has haunted me ever since knowing I have not made an impact on this world. When I die it will die with me but it was enlightening. RTI is a small adventure to help make this a better place.

Another tip, consider every twenty years a new generation matures to adulthood. In sixty years a lot can change but you need a plan, what’s your great- grand kids’ future? Think big and give a little….care.

The news then? It was pretty much the same then as it is today. The names may have changed and the situation may have improved but the impact a young person has to face is still has to be frightening to a young adult.

• In my time I often heard diminishing Rain Forest, cfc’s & Ozone depletion, kidnappings, assassinations, Vietnam MIA’s and the extinction of species, global warming, home invasion, terrorist high-jacking, city street bombings, drive-by shootings, police corruption, drug and civil wars.
  
The news was upsetting but not as much as trying to figure out WHY, the world and some people in it are acted that way? At 21 it was when I realized I was going to inherit that mess. And we didn’t have an X-Box, cell phone or laptop to preoccupy us Pac-Man and Star Wars was new.
