From Hawaii

The Senior Moment - WDS #20c

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 11:36:16 -0800

20c is a Podcast-Tutorial Combo. In this first issue, I walk listeners through the process of grabbing a screen shot (bmp) and, using the WebsiteTriad tools, convert it into a jpg image and insert into a webpage (blog, etc.).

Podcast WDS #78

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 10:55:07 -0700

I begin with instructions for my new ShowNotes system. The link: www.askcarl.net/WDSweblog.html I reviewed issue 24a by talking about the difference between brick and mortar and e-commerce; location vs foundation. I talked about the dot-com collapse and the lessons learned. I compared internet rip-offs with fad diets including a link to authorities that tell the truth. I digressed into a brief discussion of the Federal Reserve with a link and eBay with a link. I finished by offering a free MiniTutorial.

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 06:43:58 -0700

Podcast WDS #10s

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 07:08:05 -0700

I stated with instructions for my mini-screen Show Notes. Next was a revisit in which I trashed the newest anti-smoking prescription drug. I then narrate the pre-course message and play a bit of the Allegory Method from the original recording.

Podcast WDS #14

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 22:11:42 -0700

This podcast has a new system of screen shots that replace the older system of show notes. I do a Person A and Person B allegory to illustrate the concept of Web 2.0. I talk about Push vs Pull technology and the importance of a website controlled one hundred percent by the e-commerce person. It is my contention that control is key to e-commerce success.

Podcast WDS #77

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 06:41:59 -0700

I talked about Hawaii, The Senior Moment, e-commerce, websites, and presented number 24 of The Psychology of Mythology. In this podcast, I introduced my new Mini Tutorial Programs. I discussed the basic approaches to develop new information. I went on to mention MITs One Laptop Per Child project and the US Embassy in Iraq.

Favorites #4

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:12:11 -0700

I started this discussion by outlining the RSS-XML program and the podcatchers that you put somewhere on your hard-drive. I mention some of the podcasts that I listen to the minute they come on-line. I then list other popular shows. I discuss the interactive shows called TalkCasts. The one I'm familiar with is TalkShoe. It comes with a tutorial that is linked in the show notes.

Building & Managing Websites #13web

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:32:22 -0700

This podcast is devoted to web browsers. I include an easy tutorial system for picturing the popular browsers as I talk. There is also an abbreviated time-line to provide an image of the web from the time President Eisenhower signed the bill for the ARPA program that started it all.

Podcast WDS #19c

Sun, 27 May 2007 22:03:08 -0700

This may be my last well-documented political rant. I discuss the abuse of a world banking system that grew from the Federal Reserve Act and is now moving toward world globalization. I also talk about immigration and global warming. There are dozens of references found at askcarl.net/Blog.html

Building & Managing Websites #12web

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 14:18:38 -0700

This is a special introduction to my new on-line system and fee structure. I have decided to give away all my older cassette tape and workbook programs but with an increased emphasis on $30 consultations. It's a very unique but extremely straight-forward program.

Podcast WDS #76

Mon, 05 Mar 2007 13:33:17 -0800

This podcast is the official introduction to a new eBook titled WebSites on a ShoeString. I did, however, cover some of the usual topics and offered number 23 of the Psychology of Mythology series. For this, I talked about the mythology used by a couple of vitamin sellers. I also mentioned the CherieCast as a recent favorite podcast in the feel-good category.

Podcast WDS #11web

Sat, 24 Feb 2007 10:50:47 -0800

In this show I bring subscribers up-to-date on my internet conductivity and the TalkShoe program. I discuss the Websites on a ShoeString program and discuss the experience of two clients. I introduce briefly a new promotional program and a related eBook.

E-Commerce #24a

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 11:34:35 -0800

I can take you step-by-step through the design and uploading of a website for a home-based business. There will be no templates requiring outside tech support. You will be the Webmaster and therefore the ultimate expert for your website and all on a ShoeString.

Podcast WDS #75

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 11:37:43 -0800

I have gotten back into the seven-topic magazine format with this issue. I will talk about the governors State of the State speech. I discuss earning modest amounts of money with a website. I mention that the Microsoft VISTA operating system will soon dump huge numbers of relatively new computers on the used market. In The Psychology of Mythology, I discuss how patterns of human behavior tend to create mythology and the pattern that stands out from all the rest.

Charisma and Power #9

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 12:15:52 -0800

In this shorter-than-usual podcast show, I discuss the creation of wisdom and the hot-button issue of why intelligence and wisdom frequently don't reside within the same individual. I talk about how and why social conventions can destroy wisdom. In general, I separate the ownership of intelligence from the possession of wisdom.

Hypnotism #16h

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 12:07:07 -0800

I contribute to a Q and A format to a program called Ten-Minute Lessons DotCom. I used the ShowNotes from TML to paraphrase three of these. In the first TML show I tackled the question. Just what is hypnotism? In the second there was this question: How does a hypnotist hypnotize and can anyone hypnotize? In the third, I told The Mary Experience story.

Senior Moment #18C

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 12:24:08 -0800

I have a growing sense of anger at a bureaucracy that ignores people in trouble, and the rip-off artists that robs them of their last few dollars. I offered a 1950s example that is a classic symbolic of the current rip-off scams, maybe the grand daddy of the MLM scam. I offer a link that lists the current internet scams offering the opportunity to have your intelligence insulted multiple times all from one website.

Blog From Hawaii #12

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 13:05:03 -0800

Moving to Hawaii on a shoe string can happen if you develop a popular blog or podcast as part of an e-commerce foundation. I warn against partners on any level. I discuss this in some detail. I also talk about interactive conversations using software such as the Skype VoIP program and the new guys on the block, TalkShoe.

BrokenHeart #9

Sat, 06 Jan 2007 22:03:48 -0800

I talk about a client concept of a course that is often counter-intuitive and then the different emotional responses between men and women. I talk about my role as an obsessional behavioral doc rather than a relationship counsellor. I then discussed TalkShoe, Ten-Minute Lessons, and interactive Skype programs.

Building & Managing Websites #10

Sat, 06 Jan 2007 21:48:21 -0800

I talk about my pre-new years resolution to get this website podcast online much more often... hopefully weekly. I discuss the difficulty of that in terms of Parkinsons Law and Murphys Law. I discuss the problems with a program called TalkShoe and open up the opportunity for an interactive program using Skype.

Topic Cigarette Smoking #9

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 20:40:07 -0800

In this issue, I attack Pfizer Pharmaceuticals with their newest snake-oil preparation called Chantix. In an unrelated issue, I explain the reason behind the hiatus from my TalkShoe program, but with a substitute using Skype. This will offer my subscribers a way to talk live with me.

Podcast WDS #74

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:36:48 -0800

After a two week hiatus blamed on a preoccupation with an interactive program called TalkShoe, I'm back in the podcasting groove. I depart from my new magazine format to tell the story of “The cop and the homeless lady” In issue number 21 of The Psychology of Mythology I'm skating on thin ice by discussing the mythology of pro life vs pro choice.

Podcast WDS #73

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 13:12:47 -0800

This is a 1.5 hour podcast in which I duplicate all 19 of the series, The Psychology of Mythology. There is one new P of M program, number 20. The ID3 details of all 20 editions are available in the Podcast WDS Archive website.

E-Commerce #23a

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 10:02:41 -0800

The purpose of this show was to introduce a tutorial titled Podcasting On A ShoeString. I discussed the statistics that suggested we learn much slower from a computer screen than from printed material. I offered an opinion why this is the case. I then talked about some learning theory stuff. I defined my concept of core values and how it influences learning. I thought out-loud about gifted teachers, and followed with some ideas about on-line systems. I then offered the free on-line program, Podcasting On A ShoeString.

Podcast WDS #72

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 13:59:08 -0700

In show number 72, I talk a little bit about Hawaii's October 15th earthquake. Senior citizens lose (my estimate) a hundred dollars a year from rip-offs by companies that would normally be considered ethical. I use eBay as an example to discuss courses that offer the big picture but don't tell you things that you will block step one. I really step in it by talking about the massive fraud and unethical behavior of nearly all federal politicians. I offer a metaphor linking voters and the abused spouse. In The Psychology of Mythology, I discuss the conspiracy theory as a source of mythology.

Preview Podcast WDS #72

Tue, 24 Oct 2006 13:54:19 -0700

A preview of number 72 in which I discuss Hawaii's earthquake, senior citizen rip-offs, and courses that offer the big picture but avoid the little blockers. Then there is the fraud and unethical behavior of politicians. In The Psychology of Mythology I discuss the conspiracy theory as a source of mythology.

Topic Cigarette Smoking #8

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 12:53:58 -0700

I began by grumbling about people that like to argue without having the facts at their disposal. I discussed radiating spheres of knowledge. I complained about those that put out really bad information about cigarette smoking. I wondered out loud how many people would quit smoking if they knew what I knew. I talked about secular and non-secular bases of information. I mentioned evolution and a new book about Charles Darwin that is very enlightening. I discussed the Latin roots of scientific terms, specifically the earth sciences.

Preview Smoking #8s

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 12:48:42 -0700

In issue #8s, I began by grumbling about people that like to argue without having the facts at their disposal. I discussed radiating spheres of knowledge. I complained about those that put out really bad information about cigarette smoking. I wondered out loud how many people would quit smoking if they knew what I knew. I talked about secular and non-secular bases of information. I mentioned evolution and a new book about Charles Darwin that is very enlightening. I discussed the Latin roots of scientific terms, specifically the earth sciences.

E-Commerce #22a

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 19:52:56 -0700

In this eBay orientated program, I talk about learning to podcast on a shoestring. I discuss my approach to hardware and software, and even discuss why I use locked-in $30 consulting rates. What is a PRN system? I talk about that. I mention the necessity of the ability to build a basic website. I finish with some basics of learning theory. If you're a beginner, this podcast could demystify some mythology.

Promo for 22a

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 19:36:52 -0700

In the full podcast show I talk about producing a podcast on a shoestring... the software, and a PRN system. What is a PRN system? I talk about that. This podcast could demystify the concept of podcasts.

Charisma and Power #8

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 10:17:06 -0700

Most of us label ourselves as liberal, conservative, independent, religious, secular, and so forth. Our belief system may remain intact but what if the foundation of the label changes? This podcast discusses rigidity and labels that could change character while we are not looking. I recalled a revelation taught to me by my receptionist; a concept called Leave Them Laughing. I briefly mention the Mark Foley mess.

Promo for 8cp

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 10:09:32 -0700

Are the labels you use to identify yourself really represent your thinking or have the labels changed while you maintained your original belief system?

Podcast WDS #71

Mon, 02 Oct 2006 16:40:46 -0700

This is the second podcast offered in a new format, i.e., 7 topics. I start with Hawaii politicians and their great job even in the face of a Bureaucratic Meltdown. I bash the local social agency's handling of the homeless situation. I discussed the mandatory retirement of pilots in relationship to a home-based-business and websites, and warn of rip-offs. I then discuss hypnotism and a booklet that's been floating around forever titled The Questions They Ask. In the weight control section I mention YY3-36, Ghrelin, and Syndrome-X. In the PSYCHOLOGY of MYTHOLOGY, I offer some examples of a tree step approach that will prolong mythology.

Podcast WDS #71

Mon, 02 Oct 2006 16:30:46 -0700

Podcast WDS #70

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 14:50:38 -0700

This the first of a new format. I think of it as a magazine style. I'll discuss Hawaii, seniors, hypnotism, health issues, my favorite podcasts, and much more. I start by explaining the strange addiction to the Maslow Peak Experience. In the Psychology of Mythology number 17, I discuss the mythological concept that newer is always better.

Podcast WDS #69

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 13:50:11 -0700

The foundation for this show is the topic list from my Podcast Archive Program. I discussed each of about a dozen topics; some I brushed over quickly, while others I offered a few additional thoughts. In The Psychology of Mythology, number 16 in the series, I discussed the manner in which we prolong ideas sometimes beyond the time for which they can be productive. The Law of Kinetic Energy can offer some insights into this anomaly.

E-Commerce #21a

Fri, 15 Sep 2006 13:43:41 -0700

At the beginning, I reviewed (from 17c) a shoestring e-commerce opportunity for folks that have -0- discretionary income and need a set of bootstraps to get them started. In preparation for Trucker Tom's Hilly Rose promo, I talked a little bit about turf battles. ERROR: I gave Tom's link as podcast.com--s/b podshow.com. Next, I moved into the area of what sells and what doesn't (on the internet) with a brief historical review. Finally I discussed my philosophy and the finer points of a consulting format for a one-person e-commerce business. I make my assertion that folks have burned out on reading, which explains the rapid rise in podcasting. I think Steve Jobs figured that out a couple of years before me.

Weight Control #9

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 09:38:32 -0700

I complained about over-weight erroneously simplified as a sugar problem. I elaborated on some things about sugar and briefly discussed its role within the metabolism. I mentioned Aerobic Integrity (endurance vs sedentary) and offered my One-Hour-A-Day rule. I then lowered the level by telling the story, The Amazon Adventure. I finished by offering my services using my new $30 consultation structure.

Cigarette Smoking #7s

Sat, 09 Sep 2006 02:51:33 -0700

This starts with a discussion of cigarettes as a scandal of epic proportions, something I've talked about before. I read from a 1981 book, Conceptual Problem Solving, in which I first published the formula approach to problem-solving. I then outline a radical concept for offering my services in which everything but the consultation is offered free.

Structures Of Hypnotism #15hd

Wed, 06 Sep 2006 15:10:13 -0700

This is the forth and final in a series during which I record parts of a 2000 program titled Structures of Hypnotism II. It's double the length of the previous three 20 minute shows. This is the final course of this type from my hypnotherapy career, and I feel it has value for a therapist that lacks clinical training. Every podcast I record is archived at Podcast WDS DotCom. The hypnotism shows can be found in Section Six.

Hypnotism Edition #14hc

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 13:42:44 -0700

This is the third in a series in which I record parts of a 2000 program titled Structures of Hypnotism II. This is likely the final course from my hypnotherapy career. It offers the clinician some inside information from the point of view of a veteran psychotherapist. In number 15HD, I will continue recording from the same program using this contiguous number and lettering system, i.e., the show after that will be number16HE. All shows will be archived at Podcast WDS DotCom.

Hypnotism Edition #13hb

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 12:13:32 -0700

This is the second in a series in which I record parts of a 2000 program titled Structures of Hypnotism II. This was part of the last course in hypnotherapy I offered in the year 2000. I think it offers a new hypnotherapist some important information. In number 14HC, I will continue dublicating the same cassette tape while maintaining the number and letter system (number 15HD etcetera) until I have completed the program.

The Hypnotism Edition #12HA

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 00:03:04 -0700

This is the first of a series in which I record parts of a 2000 program titled Structures of Hypnotism II. This was part of a course with topics for a beginning hypnotherapist. In number 13HB, I will continue recording from this cassette tape and maintain that same number and letter system (number 14HC etc.) until I have reproduced much of the program.

Senior Moment #17C

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 23:29:20 -0700

I ask for referrals for a unique program limited to worthy individuals. I was thinking primarily about struggling seniors and single moms. I outline a program that will provide the digital equivalent of a $20,000 brick and mortar store for less than $200 for an entire year. This $200 cost is for a dial-up ISP and a Web Host. For those without a computer, one can be donated. The operating system needs to be Linux with open-source software. Of course my tech support is donated. I also discussed this program in the two previous podcasts,

Podcast WDS #68

Sun, 27 Aug 2006 18:50:44 -0700

During the first third of this podcast, I discuss needy folks building a work-at-home business with low-cost hardware and free software. I then discussed several former presidents. I talked briefly about the book “Jawbreaker.” In The Psychology of Mythology, number 15 in the series, I talked about building a myth by manipulating statistics.

BlogHawaii #11

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 13:57:40 -0700

I start by struggling through definitions of patriotism and loyalism. I cover two front-page stories in the Honolulu Advertiser: One about whistleblowers and the second about Molokai. The first leads me to discuss Old-Boy networks and the second to the resistance of Molokai locals against development. I then offer reviews for the Hawaii podcasts from one to ten in preparation for inclusion in the Podcast WDS archive program.

E-Commerce #20a

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 10:01:07 -0700

I discussed starting an e-commerce business on a shoe-string. I compared a show string operation to a farm kid's first car. I used my own hardware as an example. I talk about the elite programmers and technicians that do not write programs for low-end folks, but there are work-a-rounds. In line with that, I argue that the function of a website is far more important than it's appearance. I talked about watching helplessly as a single mom was ripped off by a fast-talking get-rich-quick jerk. After the concluding bumper, I tacked on abstracts from the previous nineteen podcasts, in preparation for submission to Podcast WDS DotCom, the archive program.

Charisma and Power #7

Fri, 18 Aug 2006 09:24:43 -0700

I start out discussing the trait of charisma as opposed to a quality. I discuss both sides of charisma... the good, bad, and the ugly. I then set up an idea for a poll that could suggest a very interesting social attitude. I briefly describe the six shows that have gone before this one in preparation to import them into Podcast WDS DotCom.

BrokenHeart #8

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 12:32:35 -0700

8-15-06 This is a short show. I talk about the formula method of solving problems such as the broken heart, and why this approach doesn't solve all problems. I spoke briefly of Defense Mechanisms and Reverse Engineering. I do short descriptions of each of the previous seven shows in preparation to their inclusion in the archive program: PodcastWDS DotCom.

Building Websites #9

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 16:29:47 -0700

(8-13-06) I repeat myself by saying the most important skill for those who want an e-commerce business is the mastery of an HTML Editor. I move quickly to abstract listings of the previous 8 website shows in preparation to adding them to the archive program. I finish up with a mildly hostile email suggesting that most of what I'd been saying was hogwash. My response was helped along by a serendipitous gift from a radio ad that happened to be playing at the exact moment I was reading the email.

Weight Control #8

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:15:18 -0700

8-11-06 Note: I made a dumb error: Niacin is B3 not B12. I complain about the bureaucratic style of producing information. I lamented the fact that the wisdom produced by epidemiological studies is accepted slowly while people die. I then discuss the niche created by this lack of information. I offer, as an example, the Niacin Flush rip-off. Then, for the third time, I do a review of all previous shows (this time BlogweightControl) that will be destined for Archive program.

Cigarette Smoking #6

Tue, 08 Aug 2006 12:46:24 -0700

Album Title: Podcast WDS DotCom

Show Title: Topic Cigarette Smoking #6

URL: http://www.wdslibrary.com/pc6s.mp3

ID3 Tag: [8-08-06] I started with a compact but comprehensive over-view of the cigarette smoking issue in general. I offered some rare in-sights only a smoking cessation therapist would know. I talked again about the political and economic factors surrounding smoking. I complained about the role of a popular US Surgeon General in a misdiagnoses of smoking behavior that many believe is fact. Toward the end, I reviewed the five previous podcast shows in preparation for submission to the archive program.
For complete show notes go to wdslibrary.com and follow the links.

Hypnotism Show #11

Sun, 06 Aug 2006 16:36:13 -0700

I ramble a bit on the evolution of science from the control of fire to agriculture and cave art dream rendering. The motivation behind cave art tells us a lot about the Freudian view of hypnotism. I discuss the importance of archiving and, with that in mind, I list a brief outline of each of the ten previous hypnotism shows. This outline will end up at Podcast WDS DotCom.

E-Commerce #19A

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 14:23:44 -0700

Podcast WDS Weblog DotCom #19a August 4, 2006 ~ Show Notes ~ 6-16-06 #19a. If you want to make money on-line, with no clue where to start, you will find this podcast very useful. I talk about the hardware, the software, Windows, Mac, Linux, open-source and everything in between. This is an off-the-wall discussion you won't hear elsewhere. ~ Here are the links I promised ~ Linux - Knoppix Version Open Office - word processiong program An open-source FTP program The IrfanView graphics program More open-source programs Sample of used Tascam 424s Sample of Shure SM57 mics Radio Shack microphone stands Scroll down for set-up snapshots From my catalog My archival program Need some help?

To close, I used my standard public domain vinyl album: Hawaii Calls: Favorite Instrumentals of the Islands. The closing cut is A Hawaii Farewell. Carl Weisbrod www.wdslibrary.com

Senior Moment #16C

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 04:56:40 -0700

I discuss the manner in which senior citizens have an advantage for predicting future events, but they must pay attention to patterns. I briefly mention unintended consequences, extrapolation, and Gestaltism. I discuss two Honolulu murder cases that could have been prevented if some predictive judgment had been in place. In this issue, I'm critical of the mental health care system.

From Hawaii #67

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 15:56:48 -0700

I offer a table-of-contents look at my other nine podcast categories and then talk briefly about the promised topics from show number 66. In the Psychology of Mythology, serial number 14, I discuss the myth of Highly Difficult Endeavors. At the conclusion of the show, I put you in the pilots seat of a small airplane.

PC #66

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:07:55 -0700

I start by pointing out the common practice of providing bogus tech support. I then warn of using a program that has been sold at a distress sale. There is a brief discussion of some demographic numbers. The Psychology of Mythology (13) takes on the word rapture. There is a little bit of finger picking at the end.

From Hawaii 65...

Mon, 17 Jul 2006 19:41:58 -0700

This is my first podcast recorded for Podshow so I reviewed some of my mp3 work over the past year and mentioned my free eBooks. I thanked TruckerTom for his help and discussed some software and hardware preferences.

Test Posting

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 07:43:31 -0700

This is a test posting.
