Thanks Joe,

Truly poignant subject for me, in light of my A.D.D. and O.C.D., as I move forward ever slowly with my online entrepreneurial aspirations.

At 55 years of age and being good at every thing that I choose to focus on, information overload and or distractions are a particular bane to my forward progress (in the candy store) on the Internet or most things related to thereof.

And then once in a while someone will put forth several videos (giving a visual walk through) on a subject with just enough info and demonstrating how to use said info to allow one to accomplish the task straight away. ... beautiful that !

Having been a pottery instructor ( wheel work mostly ), with the ability to convince my students that wheel throwing is as simple as it looks and then get them to experience said simplicity, the concept of less is more (or best) is very powerful. As with the video example above, I break a single movement into many aspects of that one movement, and even if they do not understand it intellectually, very soon muscle memory kicks in and the rest is of little
moment. ... sorry, now I'm babbling ...

What I wanted to ask is permission to post this and mayhap other articles to a blog (giving credit of course). I'm sure I can figure out the RSS Feed sitch.

Though my present focus is Internet Marketing, you can view at my Artwork

I look forward to reading more of your "thoughts" in future !

Respectfully,

Yeah, I think that a lot of AR people are fixated on the idea of having a permanent personal HUD (“Terminator vision”), without stopping to think if it would actually be helpful in any given situation, or just more visual cruft.
