The secret of my success strangeness

I often get aksed: "Toby, how does I get to be so weird smart as you is?"

My secret is the Brainwave Generator.

This software uses something called binaural beats to stimulate particular Brainwave frequencies. You can use it to help in meditation or in maintaining focus (as I often do, ADD child that I ... ooh look: a room that looks like a cartoon).

The different frequencies of the brain are:

Frequency range Name Usually associated with:
> 40 Hz Gamma waves
13–40 Hz Beta waves Attention
7–13 Hz Alpha waves Relaxation (while staying awake)
4–7 Hz Theta waves Dreams, deep meditation
<> Delta waves Deep dreamless sleep

It definitely works, you can feel you mind shifting. I like to get some pink noise or water sounds underneath the tones ... takes the edge off.

I also recommend caution when using this tool. In 2000 I abused the "Creative" setting for hours at a time for several months and went ... a bit weird.

Imagine that ...

Answer: No.

BOO. Now YOU can be one of the disgruntled oppressed Mac users. Welcome! Welcome!
