Sex Er Cise

October 31, 2006

Been listening to the session “Sexercise.” This is a slow, soothing piece – one that is especially good for background music.

Positive Word of Mouth

October 19, 2006

From life experience in general, and specifically from doing volunteer work with a non-profit organization, I would be inclined to say that most often people who are dissatisfied are the ones who speak loudest. My experience has been that complaints far outnumber compliments.
So, it was very encouraging to me to read in WOM Research, [...]

A study by several leading hearing experts offers guidelines to safe listening of IPods. They reported, according to Digital Music News, that the average person could listen to the IPod for 4.6 hours a day at 70 percent of its maximum volume without increasing the risk of hearing loss.
A separate study took into account [...]
