Stujay and Great Expectations

One of my favorite passages from Dickens is Pip talking of his new decadent lifestyle in Great Expectations.

"There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did."

Well, I've find some hype that I am somewhat more optimistic about, so I guess that quote was not relevant at all. hmmmmm

Anywho, if you've come here through a google search having to do with polyglotism, language learning, or other such things you have probably heard of Stuart Jay Raj (and read his blog instead of mine). Well, he's starting this new series called Mnidcraft that purports to teach--

* Super Memory
* Perfect Pitch
* Touch-type in multiple languages including Thai, Sanskrit and Korean
* Be ‘funny’ across cultures
* Increase self-esteem in yourself and others
* Mimic sounds, body language and mannerisms
* Build instant rapport with people you’ve just met
* Master tones in Tonal Languages including Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese
* Solve the Rubik’s Cube
* Use an Abacus
* Circular Breathing
* Morse Code / Sign Language alphabets
* Speed Reading
* Simultaneous Interpreting
* XML and programming fundamentals.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty much an expert at most of those already, so I don't know how much something like this is going to help. I mean, come on, I haven't stopped circularly breathing for the last ten years and I solve Rubik's cubes practically on accident. And 'abacus'?!? Please, abacus is my middle name; except I usually spell it in Korean Morse code.

For reals, though, based on what I have seen him come out with in the past, I am crazy excited about this.
