Posted in my favorite web radio station SomaFM / with 11 stations of 
which I usually turn into Groove Salad, Secret Agent or Tag’s Trance Trip depending on mood and whatever is on. you can find them all by following the link via the picture to somafm and scrolling down. i used to listen to tag’s trance trip a lot back in the days when it was an independent station and i’m very happy to see that the trance trip is still around (they have been with somafm since 2004). http://somafm.com/about
posted by me first as a comment to, “no news is good news” on unformal.
especially in today society if you have a look at any regular newscast you?ll see a multitude of death and suffering but very rarely the happy news unless its revolutionary, of course suffering is also important to show but showing the bad without the good tends to numb us. we do no longer see the need but only the vast problems of the world, we need to inspire more to show how people solve the suffering how they manage and why? what is alien must be bad or at least shunned, i heard an interview with a nigerian woman who was visiting europe and she was stunned by the news about africa she saw in the tv, why? she said she wasn’t able to identify with that picture of africa at all, is that who we are? of course there is great suffering in many part of africa but there are also great cultures, places where people live in peace and prosperity, this is a picture all too rarely televised or otherwise communicated in the ?western world?. no news is good news? yes perhaps the overflow of information is not always so very balanced.
When I started out (and that’s not very long ago) I used to log on to the wordpress account to write my posts or use MS Word 2007 (the office suite is amazingly good starting with the 2007 version). However when I surfed around a little while ago I found a post on wordpress about this wonderful little thing called Windows Live Writer or WLW for short and even though it is in beta right now I recommend it for posting. For those things WLW can’t handle there is a set of add-on’s to be found and installed easily though + Add a Plugin… some that work some that don’t. Some neat tools there though. Get it here.
