A lot more info--
Uncovered a few more lies
Still no legal case.

I've beefed up the iMind Chronology section to be a bit more discriptive on some of the items. Also, I've added Mark A. Popp's pre-iMind resume to the site as well as SEC filings that show that Mark A. Popp was possibly "less than truthful" on his resume.

I've waited for letters, court papers, something or well, anything for the last two weeks. Still nothing in the mail or otherwise from the Santa Ana lawyer. I guess Mark A. Popp realizes that he doesn't have a legal "leg" to stand on.

I wonder how Doug Hannah's investor lawsuit against Mark is going...

The site was "there there."
Got a lawyer to try scare--
more stuff on site now.

Mark A. Popp apparently wants the iMind Parody site to go away, although I can't imagine why. He got a lawyer to call me on 10/25/2002 to try and scare me into taking down the "Mark Popp" pages--whatever that meant. It just gives me more things to post on the site. Check out the "Chronology" section for more details.

I remember the hand puppet motion he used to do when he said "there there"--classic stuff.

Strange dinner with Popp
"I am a bodhisattva,
Reincarnated"

One night in NYC, Popp and I were dining in his favorite sushi restaurant. Because no one else was there, he decided to turn the conversation to spiritual matters. He proceeded to explain to me that Daniel thought that Mark might be a reincarnated Bodhisattva (high spiritual teacher) because according to Mark, "I just know everything without having to think about it." He continued, "he thinks I am an enlightened spiritual being." Weird fucking vibes...

As funny and ridiculous as this sounds, I can think of few people in my life that have had such a strong effect on so many others in such a short amount of time. In some kind of strange way, I think Popp is a teacher, just not the kind he thinks he is. I learned two things from Popp: (1) challenge expectations of what people think they are capable of [he was able to get people to work very hard for him], and (2)[as an anti-teaching] do not let anyone shit on you, ever.

Your spouse is a louse.
You no rike--back to Fro'da
Maybe I just will.

This conversation happened the week before I left. She launched into this whole thing about people who are unable to cut it in the world, blah, blah, blah.

The second line "you no like back to Florida" was translated into her strong Japanese accent for effect.

Housewife unhappy?
Refer the young handyman.
Frustration, of course.

Well, it seems that there was really little going on sexually between Mark A. Popp and The Wife(disclosed on numerous occasions), so Mark suggested that the handyman spend more time at the house, likely with the thought that he would step in and, well, satisfy The Wife's urges (Mark mentioned this to me during one of his legendary cigarette sessions at the gas station across Tiburon Blvd).

There was a playful flirtation; there were even some quiet , private times (can you imagine what they talked about)? It never really amounted to anything, despite the willingness on The Wife's part. The young handyman may have been oblivious to the surreptitious motives on the part of both Popps.

She was disappointed, hence the frustration. No hook up--but not for a lack of effort.

Governor's girlfriend?
I saw her first, she is mine!
Tool shed floor is cold.

Once upon a time, the newly appointed sales force brought in Governor Mabus of Mississippi as a possible state-level contact. Mark, of course, decided to host a dinner party at a semi-swanky, but quite over-priced restuarant in Marin across the street from a local community college (I think that it is MCC or something).

In any event, the governor and Mark were both enamored with the same sales person, a regional sales representative whom Mark had recently hired. As Mark and the governor both attempted to woo this poor woman, both grew quite boastful and very drunk.

It soon became apparent to me, who happened to be precariously seated next to Mark that he made several UNWELCOMED advances. More drinks ensued.

The evening ended mercifully for those of us compelled to attend. The story was different for Mark A. Popp. This is where the details become cloudy.

The Wife refused to let him in the house, as he was quite drunk or stoned (she confirmed this to me the next day). Then, (and this is conjecture) he walked down from his house to the office. He was unable to break in as he had no keys and the alarm was engaged. He set off the alarm, which summoned to police.

I received a phone call from Daniel, who was in Mill Valley at the time, who told me that he would handle this, though it was really my responsiblity to check out the office (this is the one at 104 Tiburon--I had Mark's old office, therefore through perverse logic, I was responsible).

Anyway, to avoid arrest, MAP allegedly wound up hiding during the police visit in the small adjoining tool shed, where he was discovered in the morning by a shocked, yet compassionate Daniel.

Dinner with the governor of the worst performing public school state: $1,500

Promises of moonlight and roses to a woman who is clearly NOT interested: $1,000,000

A night on the tool shed floor: Priceless

Not your fucking dad!
I'm your goddamned BOSS, you hear?!?
Pack your things and leave!

I was an engineer under Larry O'Brien, and taunted him a few times about some of his ideas about how things ought to be done. The final time I did this (cheerily saying "Ok, Dad!" when Larry seemed a little too authoritarian on a decision he'd made) led to the above outburst. I was told to leave a week later -- got the whole "we'll watching you pack, don't touch your computer, you have 1 hour" treatment.

Went to Gumwrappers
Fat boy spent all my money
Hoes are not for free

Mark A. Popp demanded that we take him to the Gumwrappers strip club. He proceeded to get drunk and get a lot of lap dances. He later revealed to Fabian and I that he had no money--we had to pay.

He once said to us
Fingers clicking means progress
I downloaded sounds

When Mark "A." Popp came into our little room and spouted this gem of wisdom I immediately went to work, found and used the following: http://www.getodd.com/stuf/free/sounds/covsnd1/covsnd.exe

Gets Florida dough
but makes Chris pay for dinner
Why is he so drunk?

After securing nearly $10 million from a group of Florida investors, MAP takes a group of iMind staff to dinner and racks up a $1,000 food and wine bill. Mind you, medication and alcohol don't mix well. So after spilling food and drink all over his inebriated self, he makes an absolute fool of himself and the staff in this ritzy Ft. Lauderdale restaurant. After which, he spends the night at Chris's place because it's his turn to babysit.

First class plane ticket
5K hoe and some cocaine
Sporting a limp dick

Mark A. Popp spent 9K for two nights in LA. I saw the expenses and they included a 5K charge for "entertainment". The Wife claimed several times that the man was impotent. Priceless.

What does a 5K hooker look like anyway?

Fifty thousand shares
Stock options offered to me
Charmin works better

I worked there two months and ten days -- should I have sued for the vested amount (ten days)? Not.

Two weeks in I find
I am the janitor too
imind, yes I do

I was actually fired for suggesting imind hire a janitor instead of having the employees do the job after hours as a team-building exercise.

Party in DC
Spending the employee checks
Will they work for free?

Mark A. Popp was at the Presidential Inaugural a week before the company didn't make payroll.

Foolish CEO
Passed out again on my couch
Yellow river flows

Mark A. Popp urinated on Steve Thompson's couch after being kicked out of the house by The Wife.
