sony stranglehold

 In the 1980's Sony was one of the most dominant brands in consumer electronics.

In the 1990's, Sony introduced the Sony PlayStation and won big in that arena.

Sony Pictures also grew in the 1990's.

But in the 21st century, Sony started to slide.

MP3 version of learning via podcasts trumps video

Streaming video sounds great... or maybe I should say "looks great" since you gotta be sitting in front of a TV or computer to see it. Podcasting has really taken off because people can listen to the MP3 downloads on the go. In your car, in the gym, anywhere you can play an MP3 file, or a CD-R (burning CD's is so quick and cheap these days.) There are cool site such as http://www.mp3learning.com/ which specialize in pointers to useful content. Check it out at more mp3 learning audios coming soon.

before & after






before: In retrospect, my symptoms were relatively minor, though annoying: 1. dry skin on face around eyes and mouth. 2. generally dry skin, especially hands where sometimes skin on knuckles cracked deep fissures

  • slept barefoot in shorts and t-shirt
  • daily moisturize with lotion and lanolin
  • treated flare-ups with various over-the-counter potions such as coal-tar-extract
  • normal appearance got rare comments about dry skin


after: 1. itching all over body, sometimes wakes me up at night. Scratching ecstasy severe enough to draw blood. 2. A few spots sometimes get so inflamed that it oozes liquid and crusts over in spots: face, backs of hands, belly button, behind knees.

  • sleep with socks, long leggings, long-sleeve shirt
  • daily treatment with ProTopic
  • medicate flare-ups with topical steroids
  • for severe cases, Doctor-prescribed systemic steroids, antibiotics
  • reddish appearance draws frequent comments about sunburn or allergies
