After 30 mins of people disconnecting as soon as they saw my face, one guy (holding his ass cheeks open), stayed long enough to write “Hitler? Is it you?”. Not good for self esteem.

Comment on The future of fragrance-free by Loreto

I completely agree with you on the toxicity and noxious effects of mainstream, mass-produced perfumes. Many chemicals used by the fragrance industry such as phthalates are ending up in our lakes and streams and working their way up the food chain into our bodies. Many chemicals are also causing grave harm to people with allergies and sensitivities.

I’m glad you’re open to natural perfumes and not 100% anti-fragrance. I have a line of perfumes that are made using only pure essential oils in a jojoba oil base. They are subtle and blend with your body chemistry to create a scent unique to you. Most of what I create are custom perfumes where you get to choose the oils that go into your blend. It’s a fun experience and I invite you to give it a try sometime. I think you’d be pleasantly surprised.

Comment on Hulu: who will pay? by Jason Potteiger

“f I weren’t already paying for cable, I might consider paying for an online TV subscription, though $20/month seems a little much for that.”

Friends of mine are planning to buy a DVR now that Hulu may charge–that doesn’t sound like the outcome the pay-for-content advocates are going for. But it is the reality. Young people are Hulu’s largest demographic, and they have college loans, rent to think about along with low paying jobs. On top of cable and internet, how much more money can they really spend on entertainment? Bottom line, they probably won’t pay for Hulu.

I wrote a short piece on this topic if you’re interested in reading more: http://www.thenextgreatgeneration.com/2009/11/16/hulu-gonna-buy/
