i agree with vortex, to a certain extent...i'm sure that everyone has come across that master who believes that their particular style is the best at "fighting, self defense for little guys/gals, or protecting yourself without really hurting the other person, etc.. etc... " and then they try to make you believe that also.... for me, part of watching MMA is watching how masters of a particular skill or art fall apart when they have to live up to their claims.

I used to love listening to aldous huxley, alan watts, or whoever (namely, people much more enlightened/inspired than me- but basically someone known for their field of study) give talks/speeches/interviews. If you encounter any good sites or resources where I can listen to these (either streaming or download) please let me know. Or maybe we can use this message as a thread to list the locations or recommendations for these audio files .

thanks for the responses. since my original posting, i've found that using Windows Media Recorder works well. you can record audio and video, and you can record w/out having the window open. once u set it to record, you shut the window and it cont's to record. so you can record from multiple sources at same time, in the background. i think the trial version has a time limited restriction, but i stumbled across a full free version... i never realized there was soo much out there..

trunk. thanks for the link.... here's a link to a some alan watt's lectures... apparently you can purchase the bulk of them on cd or mp3 format, but here's a link to the ones that are streaming for free... hope everyone enjoys them. http://www.alanwatts.com/media.php p.s. does anyone know of any good, but free, software to download streaming audio or vid to your hard drive?

what a great site! so far from perusing the non-member areas, much thats been discussed has been on my mind for quite some time... i'm looking forward to both contributing and growing.
