calm down

Getting Quiet, the hip new way to quiet your mind, is now out. A single CD, or audio download album will contain the full course.

Independent of religion, belief systems or lucky foodstuffs, it offers a clear simple path to a quiet mind.

www.gettingquiet.com is the place to hear a massive 8 tracks from the full 14 - for free.

Wii iPlayer - strange but wonderful

Downloaded the new iPlayer channel for the wii today.

It seems to work very well, a softer picture off the wii than I'm used to for digital images, but no judder, freezing or blocking. Touch wood. (Torchwood).

Isn't the BBC wonderful. Ahh.

Goodbye, Cadw Swn

Today was a milestone. I said goodbye to my Welsh course Cadw Swn. No more packing boxes, duplicating CDs and getting books printed.

Well not quite goodbye. I still have another few CDs to record. But after that I'm handing over the order fulfillment to others. Robots probably.

'Learn Welsh Fast with Cadw Swn' is the slightly rejigged title, of a slightly rejigged course. Older, wiser and a little greener.

The book is out now, the first 3 audio download packs too. The new CDs should start appearing next week, together with a fabulous new website. Audio downloads are a mere £5.95 for a CD's worth, the book a steal at £14.95.

(good) stuff happens

Proof copy of book received today. It seems to have got itself written somehow; stuff happens.

One letter needs changing though, so a hasty re-write (hah) and a week added to production.

No worries.

do turkeys vote for christmas?

Would seem to be the theme of the shadow chancellor's austerity cutback speech today. Wage freezes for public sector workers and a raising of the retirement age.

Apart from the above fowl-related question, I wonder if anyone in the Conservative Party has questioned the ability of a Westminster government to deliver on such far-reaching promises now that a significant number of powers have been devolved to the, ahem, regions.

Health and education for instance.

happy

I'm so happy. Napster, the legal music streaming service has now slashed their monthly UK subscription rate to £5. Plus they've included 5 mp3 downloads each month for playing on ipods. (and yes unbranded mp3 players if you must)

So here's the future; download 5 mp3s a month and listen to unlimited streaming music with no ads, then fill in any gaps in your collection via itunes. (or napster if you prefer)

The war between itunes and music subscription services is now over. Can it really be that everybody won?

new book for October release

We Live in the Spaces Between the Stars. A book of silences and spaces, to help facilitate a quiet mind and a fourth state of consciousness.

This is the first product from Getting Quiet, and surprisingly comes before the actual release of the Getting Quiet course.

More news here as it happens.
