"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen%27s_race ]
The famous fragment, uttered by Alice and the Red Queen, is from "Trough The Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll.
Indeed, its taking me all the running I can do to stay in the same place. But the decor is changing even faster.
This is the last month of the MSB's Podcast before it morphs into "The Disability Show."
Now lets get this show off the ground.

FeedForward
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.
----
Now I'm going to take the show down several notches in intensity. Can't live just on just rock and roll.

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.

----
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.
----
I'm angling after a fourth sponsor.
That's all I'm going to say for now.
---- "Red River saloon" by: "Rich Hopkins and the Luminarios" http://www.sanjacintorecords.com/
Thesis:
I was reminded of the dialogue between Alice and the Red Queen in "Through The Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll.
It is indeed taking me all the running I can do to stay in the same place.
The events in the real world are making a mess of space and time. Its too fast in some places and yet seems to be dragging its ass in others.

Synthesis:
The book is progressing nicely and should be ready to go to print by the first of October, (three months ahead of schedule.)
I've got to get some quotes from people about the book. I've got some ideas about that. :-)
The title of the book appeals to me on several levels. That's all I'm saying right now.
----
This September is the scheduled return of "The Disability Show" to the wire, (as opposed to "the air".)
WSPC will be hosting a live stream on Mondays afternoons at 17:00 EST (I will make it in time to work at WFMU because I've tried it and I don't have to actually be at their studios to do my community Desk work :-) and I will be podcasting it later in the day on the RSS feed for those who can't attend to it right there and then.
----
I'm making progress at WFMU where, to everyone's regret, Mr. Rushkoff is tending to a personal tragedy as his mother has developed cancer.
Maybe you could go to his site and order a copy of his book "Life Inc". [ http://rushkoff.com/books/life-incorporated/life-inc-distributors/ ]
Buy the book so you can read what a caring and truly gentle man this gentleman really is.
----
I'm making waves, but not "The Air Waves", at WSPC where my marketing ideas are actually getting traction. (Life goes so much smoother when you can at least give the appearance of alignment.)
----
I'm starting to attract a new audience, one that's not tied to having MS.
The concept of using social media like Twitter and YouTube to discover each other and to communicate, while cross-linking, is being used as the currency of the New Media.
That seems to be what has actually happened to me.
What this means in a larger context, well, I suspect, but I'm still sussing out.
This will probably the the feature for the first episode of The Disability Show".

Conclusion:
I suspect that my life is built up of intense ten thousand hour segments when and whereby I can and often do change careers. (That's the conclusion reached in "Outliers The Story of Success" by Malcolm Gladwell" [ ISBN: 978-0-316-01792-3 { http://www.amazon.com/Outliers-Story-Success-Malcolm-Gladwell/dp/0316017922/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1248634859&sr=1-1 }] when discussing the careers of everyone from Mozart, to Nobel prize winners, to Wall Street Lawyers to people who "don't" live in Harlan Kentucky. )
10,000 hours divided by 12 hours a day (told you, I'm driven to succeed, [that's a conservative estimate]) divided by 250 days a year gives 3 and 1/3 years 'till success. (
Once again a very conservative estimate since I have been doing this show in my own obsessive/compulsive way . two and then three times a week since February 2006, have marshaled it through several format changes, and am now making it jump through hoops as it responds to the new pull a new and enlarged audience.)
Figuring out how to make it pay, by abandoning my concept of money for handling the payments, was the last hurdle.
I'm a happy man. I'm going somewhere.
