This is episode 41

I started my internship at WFMU on monday manning the community desk for "The Media Squat" With Douglas Rushkoff.

It was fun but one of the pieces of software is absolutely in major need of some software QA and possibly a UI rewrite.

Darn thing kept losing focus as I was trying to type and throwing all key keystrokes into a bit bucket without giving me any auditory feedback.

And that's my professional opinion as a software developer, team leader, project manager and QA analyst.

I love Squirrel Nut Zippers so we're going to hear something from the album "Hot".

The tune is called "Memphis Exorcism" and I'll be playing it under the great news I want to share with all of you.

"Memphis Exorcism" by "Squirrel Nut Zippers" http://www.snzippers.com/

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 ]

On behalf of MSers, I want to tank Todd for his support.

Intro

I just spent an interesting Saturday at the College attending a leadership seminar.

I sort of came automatically with my new role as marketing something or other for WSPC.

It turned out to be a whole lot more interesting than I'd originally though.

Lets get one thing straight, I've gone to a lot of "team building exercises", "management retreats", colloquia and seminars.

I knew what to expect. Lots of huggy feelly crap, clap-trap, and twaddle.

But surprise surprise; it actually turned out to be better run than some of the ones my previous employers had shelled out the sheckels for.

---- "Building Blocks" by: "Anthony L Smith" http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandid=106300

Thesis:

The only problem with the career building part of the day long sessions was that it was not, I repeat not, disabled friendly in any way, shape of form.

I am, uh,  mobility challenged and as such was left literally sitting, wall flower like, along the wall while observing the action occurring at the center of the hall.

Okay, I enjoyed it because I have a perverse and nasty sense of humor which would probably get my face slapped, at the very least,, should my thoughts ever be open for public scrutiny. :-)

---- "Building Around It" by: "Elika" http://www.elikamusic.com/

Synthesis:

Its a sad fact, but I will never fit in.

Now that I've finally got over myself, I still can't fit in...

It took me years to recognize that I really was uh, uniquely qualified and that not everybody could do what I did.

it took me many more years to accept my MS, after it became obvious to everybody else that something was wrong, though schlepping around with a friggin' cane made it kind of plain and simple, even to me.

It is just as plainly obvious to everybody with eyes that I am a lot older than everybody else on  campus.

So why am I, make that was I, so pissed off that people were missing the obvious about the fact that all of the team building exercises were designed in such an exclusionary fashion?

---- "Burning Building" by: "Joe Peters"

Synthesis continued.

Its all a part of the exclusion principle.

Its in fact the most pernicious part.

Unless somebody is in my shoes, they don't ever think of anybody who might be in my shoes, of anybody who might be in any other shoes but their own.

That is why all of the professions and skilled trades in the world have a bunch of checklists, to make sure that they don't friggin' well forget that there are at least fifteen percent percent of the world who is different from them, no matter how different they think they AREN'T.

That's more that one in eight people who are having to struggle, to strain or to cope with the fact that the system builders are structurally differently from themselves.

---- "Building A Better Boy" by: "Machine Boy" http://www.machineboy.co.uk/

Conclusion:

Yeah, I'm handicapped.

I can't dance.

That doesn't mean I can't think.

This is episode 40

I got the internship at WFMU so I will be helping Mr. Rushkoff  with the community desk of "The  Media Squat".

I got a really quick introduction to their production desk last Monday and I really liked the people I'll be working with.

Plus I've got to help them set up a community wiki (PBWiki.com to the rescue) and get it hooked up to their existing web set up, get some content prepared and out it out there for feed back from the community.

Intro

I've just spent a sleepless night reading, nay devouring, "The Dead Man" by "Joel Goldman" http://www.joelgoldman.com/content/index.asp

I loved reading the book.

The plot was tightly written, the characters were believable, their motivations were just as believable and the whole thing was masterfully crafted.

So well crafted that it going to take me a few days to try and come up with a review that does the book justice without revealing a thing.

---- "Space Bubbles" by: "Chad Nantai" http://chadnantais.com/

Thesis:

Mr. Goldman is turning into a master writer; one who can be compared with the best mystery writers out there, alive or passed away, and he needs not fear being out-shined by the company.

This book was a delight to read and kept me wondering from beginning to the penultimate chapter.

His description of the motivation was masterful and he didn't stretch my credulity in the least. (Some writers I have been tempted to review I ultimately didn't because they committed the sin of stretching the thin film I call my ability to suspend disbelief until the bubble burst.

---- "Bursting Bubbles" by: "cat malojian" http://www.catmalojian.com/

Synthesis:

Like I said last week, I enjoyed reading abut a hero who's life is as crapped up by disease as mine is (different disease means different crap but the same general reaction to it.)

The manifestations of the disease may be different but the feeling of interruption and my reaction to it are entirely too familiar.

In Mr. Goldman's case, it manifests less intrusively that an MS exacerbation but because it is more violent though of shorter duration doesn't mean that its any less disruptive.

---- "Funk Bubbles" by: "Funk Bubbles" http://taiwanmilk.com/

Synthesis continued.

In effect, I am going to make this show episode about nothing because I am still wondering about how to treat the review in such a way that it tantalizes and teases while revealing nothing (sort of like a stripper doing a fan dance. :-)

Suffice it to say that I do NOT want to reveal the McGuffin of the book, that crucial detail without which the book is entirely puzzling but when revealed explains so much.

The other characters in the book are fleshed out enough to be believable.

Mr Goldman successfully returns to the theme of familial loss enough to retain the sympathy he had created in the first character that the books ultimate conclusion is fitting (even though the return of his spouse and the departure of his friend with benefits leaves the reader with a sense the tragic.)

---- "Burst The Bubble" by: "Cruiserweigh" http://www.myspace.com/cruiserweight

Conclusion:

The books ends with an entirely optimistic sentence.

There will be an interesting sequel.

---- "Ain't No Cure For Love" by: "Leonard Cohen" http://www.leonardcohen.com/

Thesis:

I just started reading a new book by someone I reviewed and interviewed about a year ago.

I'm talking about Mr. Joel Goldman. http://www.joelgoldman.com/content/index.asp

He writes really, really well and I find his books to printed on mouse traps, because they are really really hard to let go of once you pick one up.

---- Closing Time" by: "Leonard Cohen" http://www.leonardcohen.com/

Synthesis:

Joel Goldman is a great suspense / mystery writer.

I was introduced to him with his book "Shake Down" which I reviewed and, since I have MS and he has "The shakes" which afflict his character Jack Davis, as a fellow sickie, he was good enough to let me interview him.

I have the latest "Jack Davis" novel and its absolutely a page turner.

I'f I didn't have to do this show and registration for classes and my internship and crap like that, I would be finished this book already because its that good.

I have to tear myself away to take care of mundane details because the consequences are too dire  for me to ignore. (Or at least my wife tell me so, and in no uncertain terms.)

I am starting an internship next Monday.

I am lining up the paperwork but its the kind of work I'd do out of love, never mind the marks.

I'm going to do my best to help the station WFMU and WFMU.org.

I have been looking at their website and I'm going to suggest that they should have a page that opens up into a wiki.

I'm also going to suggest that I be allowed take their entire collection and digitize it (And it is one big-ass collection of vinyl and CDs) and put it all on their intranet so that they will never have to worry about their collection getting physically damaged.

It can even be backed up and a copy, or three, of the back up be kept off site for protection.

Instead, their DJs can call up any tune in the entire collection from the library, mix and match their play list and enjoy the music.

Intro

Things are hotting up 'round the ol' homestead.

I've sent messages to Sir Harold Evans of publishing fame and to the US  Postmaster General Mr. John Potter about my ideas to increase revenues for the post office, create a subscription or paid article retrieval for the press and, uh, save democracy for those who can afford it (or they can go the the public library and get the news there.)

I've also just discovered radio station WFMU 91.1 in Jersey City. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFMU ].

I have also been catching up on their podcasts and I absolutely LOVE what I hear.

One show in particular has caught my ear: WFMU's The Media Squat with Douglas Rushkoff [ http://www.mediasquat.net/ ]

Smart host. Smart topics. Smartly done. Its a great show.

So great that I'm going to try to volunteer and do an internship there.

This show is "not" any kind of a medical show /podcast.

It is by and for the disabled, and if we can help reach across the chasm of questions and indifference to the other side of the rainbow of ability ... well and good.

Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disabilities.

The path to disability is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.

The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.

msb-0353 An Interview with Hillary Rubin

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 really need this.

Feedback comes first, so...

This week we're, ah who'm I kiddin', "I" 'm featuring an interview with Hillary Ruben.

I met her through some fed back via Twitter from YoGeek who used to work for LibSyn, the people who host and track the audio portion of this show.

---- "Citizens of the World Edit" by: "Daphne Rubin-Vega" http://www.daphnerubin-vega.com/

Feed Forward comes next, so...

This is "your" segment.

Say "your" piece on this segment.

Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share.

Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com"

---- "After" by: "Carmen Hillary" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/www.myspace.com/carmenhillary

Feed Me comes third, so...

I am taking a new tack so you may yet hear from a sponsor.

But for now, enjoy my demented rantings.

---- "Home" by: "Carmen Hillary" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/www.myspace.com/carmenhillary

"Thesis:"

As I said in the feedback segment, I was introduced to Ms. Rubin in a rather circuitous route.

I never expected it would lead to meeting a fascinating woman and another MSer who, while not in denial, is calling herself someone who has been diagnosed with MS but who doesn't have MS.

Or, more to the point, MS certainly doesn't have her.

Ms Rubin is a Yoga instructor, a teacher, a "transformational health expert"... well Ms Rubin is ms Rubin, a unique creature of rare spiritual and physical strength and wisdom.

You'll get to meet her after this next song.

---- "Watching You Dance" by: "Carmen Hillary" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/www.myspace.com/carmenhillary

"Synthesis:"

Give me a break folks.

You really should download the podcast if you want to hear Ms. Rubin. Its well worth it.

Just click on the following link and subscribe:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=120932170

I don't want to type that much and, apart from telling you to goto http://www.iamnotamess.com and http://www.askhillary.com , I'd rather you heard it from her own  lips.

---- "Angel Now" by: "Daphne Rubin-Vega" http://www.daphnerubin-vega.com/

"Conclusion:"

So there you have Hillary Rubin's take on MS and MSers.

(And for those of you who feel cheated by this transcript and its brevity, drop me a line and I'll try to get ,

I quite like her refreshing approach towards and disability, the focus being on the ability and less on the "dis".

And listen for further episodes of this podcast because I'm going to be interviewing someone from Teva Pharmaceutical [ http://www.tevausa.com/ ] about their "Bravo" trial of an oral MS medicine.

Okay, its not available through an inhaler yet (but I "will" make sure to tell him about my own lay-person's thoughts on using the largest permeable membrane in the human body, the lungs, like the tobacco and marijuana cigarette manufacturers did centuries ago to make lots and lots of money.)

But at  least its something better than jabbing myself with needles, which leads to all kinds of injection site complication, like cysts, opportunistic infections, swelling, rosacea among others, and meets with all kinds of patient resistance and abandonment of the therapy.
