Money and its value is central to the economy and, as we have seen in a space months, that value goes from a perception of being rock solid into the perception of being as evanescent as mist and fog.

I just watched the ascent of money on PBS. [ http://www.pbs.org/wnet/ascentofmoney/ ] Its a great, great show.

Money, and the value of money, is so central to our own sense of worth.

----

Well, its on. I've recommended that the student council have contra-accounts for the clubs, associations and organizations which will reduce their 'debt' owed to WSPC, the "Voice of St. Peter's College" by ten bucks an ad, at one week per ad run time...

If they "don't" use their ads and promote WSPC in their clubs, associations and organizations, they owe "us" ... The easiest way "not" to owe us is to use up their ad budget.

Its enough to make sure that they use WSPC but its not so much that they don't have to be judicious in how they use it.

The school semester is fifteen weeks long, the amount in the contra-accounts is enough to cover ten of those weeks.

If they have events at the end of the semester, they'll have to "not" use WSPC for some of those weeks.

This rightfully belongs in the Feed Forward segment.

I am starting to expand msbpodcast.com into an actual web radio station.

Starting in January 2010, msbpodcast will have an interactive component which will be called MS Web Radio [ http;//www.MSWebRadio.com ]

Right now its not operative and its only a repeater to bring people to the msbpodcast.com site but I'm going to retool the web site to handle the web radio component.

It will also be podcast so if you don't get to it, it will still be available after the airing.

MS Web Radio will be held for a half an hour every Sunday afternoon at 3PM (15:00) my time.

I will be taking my definitely, uh, unusual show and opening it up to everybody.

I'll keep you posted on my progress as it happens.

I'm working on it... I'm working on it... I'm cursing and working, but I'm working on it.

And I'm making good progress on my book. You'll hear about it quite soon.

I now have THREE sponsors. Success breeds success.

It you're listening on this podcast through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the sponsor and I'll take you right to the appropriate web page.

If you're on an iPhone or an iPod touch, you should be good to go too.

----

The first sponsor, you should be all familiar with and maybe even have bought some t-shirts.[ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-MS-Artists/Categories ] (whispers) That's the whole idea.

I'm a big T-Shirt wearer since losing my job and giving up the monkey suits.

I'm wearing one of the many shirts right now. The one that says: "Guitarded". I've even got a compliment on it on the boulevard around the corner from my apartment.

----

The second sponsor is the CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]

The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all.

BarbCo is very generously giving a dollar of  from every order they process to a bunch of causes and YOU select the cause.

[ http://barbco.biz/MultipleSclerosis.htm ]

----

The third sponsor is someone by the name of Rudy Sims who has a web site for people who are disabled in some way or other to exchange their information and other resources. [ http://www.disabilityresourceexchange.com/ ]

Join him in making friends among the disabled community and in sharing the resources and information we all need to live better.

Thesis:

 

I'm still trying to figure out what all can be done with the R16.

Man this thing is small but its like a hundred bladed Swiss army  knife.

Cubase LE 4 is also this ginormous multi-functional Hydra that's a little, a heck, who am I kidding, the thing is absolutely overwhelming.

I am about to do battle with the Gorgon and I "will" slay her,

---- "Everybody's Talkin' Bout My Baby" by: "The Beatsstalkers" http://www.myspace.com/thebeatstalkers

 


Synthesis:

 

The worst part, no make that the best part, is that there is a large community formed around the products so there are all kinds of videos and project files (bet you didn't know every one of these podcasts is a project in Cubase, and any project can run away into becoming a symphony, or a crappy little jingle.)

Cubase seems to be this complicated monster that has been evolving, "sub rosa", hidden for years.

The layout of the visual components clearly shows a Unix architecture and aesthetics.

The dialogue flow is clearly "old school" and though it clearly must reflect several generations of reflection and refactoring, it never strays too far from its roots.

This thing quickly becomes a mess of popup windows and the screen quickly has a cluttered feel.

But that's to be expected when you're dealing with a hundred bladed Swiss Army knife. Its cumbersome and it gives you way too much control, stuff that you don't expect to ever use.

Still, it does give you complete control. You just have to learn when you don't give a crap about stuff and don't need to bother.

I'm going to have to read "all" of the manuals anyway because I'm an obsessive lunatic and want to know all of it.

That however is not going to stop me from using the small subset that I do need to use and know in order to do a better job of putting the audio together on these podcasts.

Conclusion:

 

I'm just going to take it by small steps.

I'm doing this because I am going to branch out.

----

I am writing a book of selected episodes from the podcast and its also about doing this podcast.

That's going to come out in January.

----

I will be doing this show live for an hour on Sunday's at 15:00 EST, here in new Jersey. It'll still feature a mix of indie tunes and talk.

----

I'm taking "The Disability Show", live for an hour, on Monday at 17:00 EST to a whole new level. It is going to feature talk over the phone and/or Skype, guests and topics other" than MS.

I'm communicating with Rudy Sims and he's giving me some hints and pointing in the right directions.

----

I'll also be moving "The Thyme Warp", live for an hour, on Wednesday at 17:00EST forward a few centuries, in attitude if not in actual chronology, and featuring music your grand parents probably grooved to.

----

I'm taking Friday's off for school work. That should do it for me.
