So . . . what’s a Podcast anyway and . . .

In reference to my recent announcement about my upcoming hypnocast audioblog podcast, a member of the Hypnosis Technique Exchange asks: Pardon my ignorance. What’s a podcast? No reason to ask pardon, it’s a very reasonable question as a lot of folks don’t know what a podcast is. A "podcast" is basically "broadcasting" directly to the…

by Brian David Phillips • August 28, 2005

What states is she eliciting with vocal tones and body language alone? Glass of Love . . . whoa. You don’t have to speak Japanese or know what she’s saying for the piece to still elicit a powerful response. No nudity or foul language (at least none I can understand) yet may not be safe…

Afterglow Effect

by Brian David Phillips • August 24, 2005

Interesting take on the ill conceived glowing review right after taking a seminar only to later discover that the changes don’t stick and it all feels hollow in a post about the Anti-Badboy Blog?. The “afterglow” effect is very real and is a bane to customers of self-help seminars and the like a boon to…

Patients Trade Pills for Hypnosis . . .
. . . more evidence that the mind affects the body

by Brian David Phillips • August 22, 2005

More doctors are advising that their patients seek out hypnotherapy to supplement medical care and more patients are going in that direction on their own as medical treatment becomes more expensive or because hypnosis is non-invasive, effective, and does not carry the adverse side effects of drugs . . . Patients Trade Pills for Hypnosis:…

Sister Furong . . .
. . . Banned from web in China?

by Brian David Phillips • August 20, 2005

Interesting tidbit . . . Sister Furong – Banned from web in China?. Evidently, she posts a lot about herself with some racy but non-pornographic bits and some zipai (non-nude non-erotic just plain “fashion model” semiglamour poses).

Doom . . . movie to have FPS sequence

by Brian David Phillips • August 20, 2005

The Doom movie is sounding kooler and kooler. It will have an FPS sequence in addition to a lot of nasty aliens and whatnot to blow away. While a year ago, I was not enthusiastic about the idea of seeing The Rock in the film, I am now much more impressed with the guy’s acting…
