MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.

I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.
You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the appropriate button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.
I really need this.

Feedback comes first, so...
Today is the first World MS Day.
I discovered that in an email in my inbox today.
What the hell kind of event promotion is this?
By the time "anybody" could find out, the day's over...
I know for next year but ... jeesh.
How the hell do they get any participation?
People are just discovering this too, as I can tell by the low number of subscribers on twitter.
More on this later in the episode. Suffice ti to say that that execrable campaign is why this episode is 24 hours late.
I threw away the episode I had prepared, flung it at the freakin' wall, and created this episode instead.

Feed Me comes third, so...
I now have TWO sponsors.
I told you, way back when, getting the first one was the toughest.
Now I have two and it didn't take another three years and several thousands more dollars of spending on my part.
The links are synchronized with the messages on the m4a right now.
It you're listening on this 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 ]
I'm still in love with my T-Shirts,
I'm wearing one right now.
The one by Mark Carpenter that says "Its the little things in life..." [ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-336/Little-things-by-Mark/Detail ]
Dang but it looks good.
I love black-and-white photography.
That sort of explains some of the posters and art hanging on the wall around here.
----
I received the CADDi in the mail, and, after trying it out, I feel that I can honestly recommend the CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all.
Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks, without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing, from spilling your drink.
I'm wondering how to attach it to a wheelchair. but I don't have one so I've got nothing to experiment with.
I'd probably sling it over the handles in the back and be able to retrieve it from there.
As I told you in the last episode, I am breaking with my role of trying to carry ads or getting sponsors strictly from MS related products.
The CADDI is for non MSers but it could/should be for us too.
---- "First Date" by: "Danko Jones" http://www.dankojones.com/
"Thesis:"
I love finding out about things on the very day that they're happening.
What is this?
Planing to fail by failing to plan?
The FIRST thing you learn about promoting an event is to get the word out in time for people to react.
This was the equivalent to getting a reprieve from the governor half a day after the feakin' lever's been pulled.
And twenty seconds on the news after the event has happened earlier that day is definitely NOT it.
For event promotion, the news is,not the right name for it, its the "olds"
That, at best, is PR and that serves to build a brand, not to advertise an event.
---- "First Contact" by: "Specimen 37" http://www.specimen37.com/
"Synthesis:"
I am going to read you a tweet from someone who thought it referred to something else:
"thought that http://www.worldmsday.org was an anti-microsoft day, after looking at some tweets. Need a rest :/"
Microsoft. MS. Get it?
That's some truly execrable promotion.
That tells me that this World MS Day promotion was probably thought of by somebody who doesn't know squat about marketing and certainly doesn't know diddly about how to host a event promotion.
Actually it was probably thought up by some intern who's working the "Charity Desk" at some advertising firm.
They only ever checked if the kid was screwing up, but they never checked if the kid was doing what was required and necessary.
Okay, I'm here to prevent this from ever happening to the next media event.
Lets get at least one term out of the way so we can all be on the same page.
In this case, its page 758 of "Advertising and Promotion" by George E Belch and Michael A. Belch, ISBN: 978-0-07-310126-2 [ http://www.amazon.com/Advertising-Promotion-Integrated-Communications-Perspective/dp/0073255963/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1243458632&sr=8-1 ]
I know its expensive, like $135, but a professional should know what's in it.
Promotion is the "coordination" of all 'seller-initiated' efforts to set up channels of information and persuasion to sell goods and services or to promote an idea.
The Multiple Sclerosis International Federation and its member MS societies for any individual, group and organisation involved in the global MS movement, are selling the idea of an event called.""World MS Day,
One of the best blog posts about promotion of an event, as opposed to event promotion, is by Stephanie Booth [ http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2008/06/14/5-lessons-in-promoting-events-using-social-media-back-to-basics/ ]
Go and read her blog entry. You'll see what a half-hearted, half-assed effort this was.
Basically, it says, in French, with lots of English translation later on in the blog entry for the intellectually challenged, that promoting these events takes TIME and EFFORT.
What you get from this absolutely "half-past-too-late" effort is an expensive waste of your charity donations.
There are lots of ways for promoting your global efforts, and they did employ some of them, after a fashion and way too late.
The overall effort in coordinating the efforts of people, firms, government agencies and NGOs and the work in meshing the various media, broadcast, meaning the national media, the local outlets, television, radio, newspapers and other print media, and the labors in getting coverage from the internet media, using sites like Hufffington Post, or Digg.com, or by recruiting blogs, podcasts, video podcasts and the like was utterly PATHETIC.
Its MS people.
Do a friggin' google search for "Multiple Sclerosis Blog" and get in touch with the people about a campaign you want to run.
Don't wait until the day of the friggin' event and expect people to suddenly rise magically up to help you, like Aristotle who thought that bugs arose spontaneously from mud.
It doesn't work that way people. This is real life.
I've already been smacked in the friggin' face by a heavy shovel called MS.
Don't throw dirt in my face, using your own ignorance and ineptitude to add insult to injury.
---- "The First" by: "LOB Tech Tones" http://www.lobtechtones.com/
"Conclusion:"
The MS society here in the 'States and the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation get a big FAIL on promoting the World MS Day.
Lets hope they get their act together next year because they obviously didn't do that this year.
This freaking' mess, well, it stunk.
I rate the effort as worse than amateurish, worse than dilettante-ish, worse that ignorant and uninformed.
I rate it as a waste of good money and there ain't none us got money to waste.

I love these videos like the one that accompanies this episode.
Its about the Hubble Deep Field Camera.
Talk about taking the long view.
I could have run with another which was about taking the odds of something bad happening, and odds are if you're listening to this you'd already beaten the odds and know full well crap happens and know it happened to you.
Its about theory of risk assessment that was never applied under the last administration.
We all know what that led to:
• global economic melt down,
• rancor at undeserved bonuses that equal the combined GPD of several small backward nations, like Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, Andorra, and the like,
• a deep recession that seems to be depression, I lost my job and that's enough to depress anybody, and punctuated by perfidy, (or do you like being screwed by Bernie Madoff and sociopaths of that ilk?)
• global terrorism from a small band of suicidal/homicidal psychopaths, one of which is still occasionally taking up broadcasting space and time, and some angry shit from "Al Queda" too.

---- "I Never Thought it Could Happen" by: "nathan timothy" http://www.nathan-online.com/
"Thesis:"
This episode starts with a question: "What's Happening?"
I think we all could/should/would ask he question far more assertively, given how slowly things really happen.
The pace is part of the problem, of course.
Once an episode or exacerbation is past, the human instinct is to blot the surreality of the temporary sensation, or the loss of sensation that was brought to our attention, or loss of control, tremor or spasticity.
---- "Things Happen Fast" by: "Fuzzy Logic" http://www.myspace.com/fuzzylogic44
"Synthesis:"
Human memory is very selective, or let me restate that another way, human recall of memory is very selective.
We may be able to recall the smooth complexion and freckled face of the red haired young doctor-to-be who admitted us to the hospital all those years ago, but we don't let the thought intrude upon every waking moment of our lives after that incident.
And the previous sentence is plural because I'm sure she admitted lots people during the same period. Each of us will carry his or her own memories of the event.
There are a great many ways that MS can express itself; as many ways as there are nerves for the disease to attack.
The problems come from the confusion that arises with attempting to cure the reported symptom, say in Montel Williams case "My feet are burning", which any physician worth his salt would treat with anti-fungal remedies, which would be entirely useless since the actual problem may be a patch of myelin scraped off the nerve anywhere along the path from the feet to the brain.
That is one of the problems with MS.
Its a disease that affects people in way that challenge the thinking capacity of most medical personnel.
Its a topological disease, affecting the transmission of signals throughout the central nervous system and the brain, when we are forced to report our symptoms topographically, on the surface of things.
Just to make things, we can't even describe the triggers to the causes of the effect we can actually report on to the doctors who ask us "Where does it hurt?"
In my case, it doesn't even hurt (thank heavens.)
---- "It Can Happen To You" by: "Creamy.dk" http://www.myspace.com/creamydk1
"Conclusion:"
It started with a moment of "What's Happening?" for me in Mr Miller's history class, lord, so many years ago... I wasn't even sixteen.
As I just got back from shuffling to the store to get us things to celebrate Memorial Day with, I heave an inner sigh at memories of how fast and effortlessly I used to dance around life.
If I could take a single lesson back to my younger self, it would be it would be to relax.(Stress causes a weakening of the immune system to disease, but it them comes back with a friggin' vengeance, and that sucks.
And to eat more duck.
I hate ducks.
Specially since I love the taste.
All, and I do mean ALL, flue viruses are bred in the gut of Chinese ducks and my MS triggers seem to revolve around strains of flue.

Feed Me comes third, so...
The other day, I was tweeting my sponsor, (I LOVE saying that word, sponsor,) [ http://twitter.com/Art2Shirt ] (the link is on the m4a right now, it you're listening on this through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the show and I'll take you right to his twitter page.)
I'm still in love with my t-shirts, I'm wearing one right now. The one of them says I'm "guitarded." I bought two of those so the other one went in the wash. It looks like its holding up well to the detergents.
Its beige and soft and I'm just loving it.
I'll be able to confirm this in a few days but I may have another sponsor. I think so... Just watching the post.
The CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all. Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing from a spill,
This is just a good idea.
So good in fact that I am breaking my role of trying to carry ads or getting sponsors strictly from MS related products.
But, as a concession, I have got Barbara to look at her purchase page and she is offering a percentage of the unit price to go to a variety of charities, the MS Society being among those.

"Thesis:"
I was supposed to take a course on digital recording, which would have been an easy three credits for me right, since I have lots and lots of practice, right?
Right?
Wrong!
Only the truly ignorant think they have nothing to learn.
I was looking forward to the course, but it didn't reach the desired number of stoonts, so I have plenty of time off to worry about the economy, the fact that i can't find a job and, I need distractions to take my mind off of my troubles.
A job would be a great way to do that.
---- "Sheeps rage" by: "JeSo" http://www.jeso.nl/
"Synthesis:"
I can't over estimate the importance of work,
it doesn't ever have to be as lofty as meaningful or fulfilling work.
It just needs to be something that we can do to feel useful in the larger scheme of things.
We disabled people need to work just as much as the next person. Possibly more considering the extra costs of medicines, therapies and treatments.
But we're shut out by the larger community who see somebody just taking up space so they give them work that is beneath them, that anybody could do, and that garners resentment by the person who's stuck with the task.
Meanwhile the job will get done poorly by somebody who's sure ha could do better and the handicapped can just go suck eggs. (Or suck air more likely because air is free, its the breathing masks to filter out the pollution that cost money.)
I'd like to lay the blame for this squarely at the manager's feet because they are in the position where they could do the most good but instead opt for what is the most expedient.
They sincerely don't give a second thought to either the disabled who they can get, at some tax saving to their employers, because they know that they can underuse somebody else and abuse them later.

"Conclusion:"

Privilege and responsibility don't enter into consideration. when reaching a hiring decision but expediency does.
This is not a meritocracy. Nobody gets what they deserve.
Your boss was not selected or hired because was the most competent; he was merely the most expedient.
And now we end off with something that sounds more like what we think we'll hear when the word rage is in a song's title.

intro
Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer!
MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.
----
I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.
You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.
I really need this.
----
Feedback comes first, so...
I'm recording this in a studio on a day that is approaching 85°F. (30°C.)
Man, that's just too hot for me. I'm cowering here, next to the air conditioner and hugging it.

Intro
This has been an interesting weekend.
It was full of discoveries.
First and foremost if the singer that just filled your ears at the opening of this episode.
That powerful set of pipes belongs to a breast cancer survivor who's the sole focus of the music on this episode.
"Bif Naked" has got to be one of the best ads for cancer treatments to cross the airwaves in, like, for evah.
More about her later, but for now ...
---- "Honeybee" by: "Bif Naked" http://www.bifnaked.com/
Thesis:
Who else could make a song out of killing a bee in her kitchen?
The next discovery is about helping everybody, even the heathy but over burdened student body.
I have something on my website by BarbCo [ http://barbco.biz/ ] (but if you're capable of getting the episodes in .m4a format you can just click on the image,) [something] that would have saved a few dropped coffee cups and soft drinks as I made my way around the campus.
---- "Red Flag" by: "Bif Naked" http://www.bifnaked.com/
Synthesis:
Barbara Hranilovich got in touch with me because I seem to be the only person who's doing stuff like bringing entertainment to the handicapped and actually looking for sponsors.
She'd already got her CADDi on an episode of Rachel Ray but as anybody'll tell you, getting one showing on anything is clearly not enough.
What it lacks in frequency, being only one showing on a stream, it also lacks in coverage, being only is areas where Rachel Ray is shown.
She's hoping that podcasts, with their repeatability and their long tails can help her with the frequency.
I'm doing my bit to expand the coverage and to multiply the reach of her own ads.
---- "River Of Fire" by: "Bif Naked" http://www.bifnaked.com/
Synthesis continued.
So I'm trying to talk Bif Naked into making an appearance in New York by telling her that there is definitely interest.
I'd love to read her tattoos and have her on my podcast,

I had fun on Monday at WCBS FM.
It was an interesting visit.
I would never work there on-air. Man's got to know his own limitations after all, but I'd love to write for the guys on-air.
I'm still doing what I started on my internship at WFMU. Since its also podcast, you can also tune in to "The Media Squat" With Douglas Rushkoff any time of the day or night.

I even got my own sponsor now (It only took me three years , eh? :-)
Todd Wallbridge of TM Designs has started a website called MSTShirts.com [ http://www.mstshirts.com ] for promoting and selling art by artists who have MS, and T-Shirts of course.
By purchasing a shirt you will help support an MS artist and a donation is made to NMSS to further research into finding a cure.
The shirts are good quality cotton material and the print on them is really durable. Well worth it.
I'll get into more descriptions but they're on the site (just click now if you're listening in m4a format and it will launch your web browser to MSTShirts.com [ which is actually a repeater to http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-MS-Artists/Categories ]

I really don't feel like listening to classical music anymore right now.
I was just listening to some Madeleine Peyroux and it has put me in an entirely different mood.
You're going to get a mix featuring song stylings of different divas who have some space on my iPod
Now "Adelante La Musica"

The Hollies - Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress, released on February 1, 1972 as a single by the Parlophone Records label.
It was yet another example of how friggin' clueless the suits are.
it was not being promoted in the least by EMI/Parlorphone since the Hollies had recently signed with Polydor.
I shouldn't wonder that they went to Polydor if that was the kid of support that the artists could expect from EMI/Parlorphone.
In yet another example of closing the barn door after the horses had all been barbecued in the smoldering ruin, when the record hit #2 in the 'States, EMI/Parlorphone finally figured out that it was being played, despite them and that it would have been worth promoting after all.

MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.

Feedback comes first, so...
Okay, the weather here in Joyzee is unexpectedly chill but school's out so it feels summertime.
So you're getting a summertime themed episode.
People, and I use the term loosely, have been dropping crap email in my in box and leaving stupid spam comments on my show episodes which indicate that they aren't listening, or even reading the friggin' script, so why should I possibly be interested doing them a favor?

Yesterday, I was tweeting my sponsor, (I LOVE saying that word, sponsor,) [ http://twitter.com/Art2Shirt ] (the link is on the m4a right now, it you're listening on this through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the show and I'll take you right to his twitter page.)
What I was actually twittering about is of no real consequence but the fact that I could just twitter him a note says something about the man.
He's connected, asynchronously, with the rest of the world.
I'm still in love with my t-shirts, one of them says I'm "guitarded." (Two of them really because I like his stuff so much i bought two of the same one.)
Its beige and soft and I'm just loving it.
Ok I was weird as a child and fought ever having to change my clothes until my parents struggled and wrestled whatever new garment they has bought for me on my skinny little xylophone of a rib cage.
They would have had much better luck with thee shirts like these because they feel great on my skin.
---- "Summertime" by" "Bob Crosby" http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/card/0,,418789,00.html
"Thesis:"
I don't have anything of any consequence to impart today (as if I ever did.)
I just want to play some tunes about summertime.
Some are happy an some are sad.
Its a season not a mood but since I melt in the heat, its not the best time of the year for me.
---- "Summertime" by" "Janis Joplin" http://www.officialjanis.com/
"Synthesis:"
Man, I loved playing that version of 'Summertime" by "Janis Joplin with Big Brother & The Holding Company."
That was some classy guitar work and I spent many an hour adapting it to a nylon string classical as opposed to the electric guitar James Gurley played at the time (I think it was a Fender Stratocaster.)
People may think that summer is a grand ol' time, but it means a couple of months of distinctly uncomfortable weather for MSers.
Well, except for Miss Chris out in the western deserts of the USA, but its a dry heat, isn't it.?
Personally, it doesn't matter if its wet or dry, its HOT.
I run, make that, I hobble over, to my air-conditioned office, sit in my nice cool chair with the wide open waffle pattern back and cruise the web all day until the temperature gets back to something that I can take.
Right now, its in the sixties maybe the low seventies and I just LOVE it.
---- "Summertime" by" "Glenn Miller" http://www.glennmillerorchestra.com/
"Conclusion:"
Now I just want to end off on the fun side of summer.
When this song first came out, I knew that I absolutely loved summer, even if now I don't.
Ray Dorset, a.k.a. Mungo Jerry, was outrageously fun, way back in 1970.

If you click on the "MS T Shirts" icon on my blog entries, on my wiki or if you are listening on iTunes or another player which knows about .m4a formatted files you will be taken to the web site of people who do art and who have MS.
There's only seven of them so far with more coming soon (we MSers are a talented bunch,) and I can tell you that they are great T Shirts.
I got one "Little things" by "Mark Carpenter" and its a nice print on a well constructed T-Shirt.
6.1 oz., 100% cotton preshrunk jersey. Set-in rib knit collar and sleeve cuff. Double-needle stitched collar, cuffs and bottom hem. Quarter-turned body to eliminate center crease.
I feels great and I think I will be wearing this for years, It feels solid.
I'm geeky enough to just love "Brain Storm" by "Elizabeth Jameson". Its four slices of an MRI set and, well I'll just read you her note:
"My artwork involves a dynamic collaboration between the disciplines of art and science. I became an artist only after I was diagnosed with the disease of multiple sclerosis, and my current work consists of self-portraits based on magnetic resonance images (MRIs), or brain scans that documents the effects of the disease of multiple sclerosis on my brain.
This artwork is apart of my Brain Series, that consist etchings on paper and paintings on silk They explore the brain’s mystery, beauty and complexity and express my fascination with living with a chronic illness that involves the brain. My goal as an artist is to increase our understanding of the brain by making medical imaging more accessible to those who view these revealing pictures."
she says: "I am a wife, mother, friend, public interest lawyer, as well as an artist. I have progressive multiple sclerosis"

I have been using Wikipedia since it was filled with entries about little towns in England and little else.
I have also been particularly interested in the power of collaboration since I stated writing for money back in the late eighties and early nineties.
It went hand -in-hand with being so software developer who saw that collaborative software development could accomplish a whole lot more than being "the lone genius in the backroom."
I didn't mind being "the lone genius in the backroom" and it paid well but it was ultimately limiting.
A person can only accomplish so much unaided.
