It's both a very happy and sad day here in Bangkok. Sad, because not in a long time have people been so politically polarized ... to the point that today people are baying for blood from both sides of the spectrum.
Now the GOOD news.... I've just finished my latest video edition and posted it up to Youtube. This is the first covering my 'Mnidcraft' series. The first series will be starting on the 2nd of Dec, 2008 in Bangkok. If you're in town, come along!
Facebook Mnidcraft Group Up and Running!
The response to the 'Mnidcraft' Facebook group that I've created is fantastic. Within the first day or so there were over 120 members and counting.
If You Would Like To Attend An Event ...
As sessions get scheduled, I will mark them on there as 'Events' so people can register. Once you click 'accept', you will be contacted to let you know what / how you need to prepare and answer any questions you might have.
RadioBangkok.Net - Sponsorship and Podcasts
Thanks to Bill Hammerton and RadioBangkok.Net, I've been able to increase the audience that the message is getting out to. An added bonus is that thanks to Bill's great networking skills, we have great sponsors like Fraser Suites (Thanks Jacqui) Suk. 11 to help with the Training Facility... though if numbers start to go North, I think we might even have to look at up-sizing future venues.
I've set up an email with RadioBangkok.net that you can make enquiries on - language@radiobangkok.net. Otherwise, my usual 'public' email address still works - stujay@hotmail.com.
Show me the Video Already!
So here it is! ... btw.. if you are a facebook member, I have uploaded a copy of this to the Mnidcraft Group and the resolution looks a whole lot better! Here's the Youtube version.
Taking it On The Road
As I mentioned in the Video, I'm looking forward to taking this programme on the road. I'm excited to see the chemistry that a programme like this has with all different profiles in the community - Adults, Business-people, University Students, Children, Migrants and anyone else willing to "Change Their Mind"!.

And what if I can already solve the Rubik's cube in, say, 15 secs without even focusing? x) (the original 3x3, I mean, the 2x2 can be solved way faster)....Because that's kind of the thing in my case. Am I supposed to be bloody good with all this already then? I guess not. So I guess I'll just follow your videos and see how this all works out. It's a cool thing you do here though. :)
Gábor
That's a great time Gábor - 15sec. I remember when I started cubing back in 1982, the cubes were a lot different, and the algorithms were still in their infancy. Now with speed cubing becoming so big over the past 20 years, what people can do with cubes is amazing.
The point isn't solving the cube though. The point is the skill of decoupling your brain. It's one of the fundamental principles that I use when training language, simultaneous interpretation, building up vocabulary etc. There are many other exercises we use in the programme - from using the abacus to speed reading and simultaneous L1-L1 interpreting.
My goal is to bring people into a state of mind so that they can accomplish 'seemingly difficult' things that you and I can do. I believe that everyone is capable - for most, it's just that they haven't had the chance / guidance to develop the skill.
Stuart, I can really 'feel' your excitement for your new programme!
"My goal is to bring people into a state of mind so that they can accomplish 'seemingly difficult' things"
I'll be looking forward to seeing how this works on me... when I get back to BKK that is (Xmas = offstation).
