Subject: [alt-beam] Re: HEAD APPLICATIONS (BICORE HEAD(WRONG APPROACH))


Here's a little philosophy:

It's never easy for anyone to get on a new learning curve. It's like
taking a step back in order to leap forward. It means stepping outside
that comfortable model in your HEAD that you use for doing all those
mental simulations about the world. It is easy to get trapped in your
model and reject/filter anything that doesn't fit. The very young have
little experience and they learn, learn, learn but soon ....
Never confuse the model with reality, as a person and as a group. Always
be open to paradigm shift, to leap between models, to catch that new
idea and surf it to the next one....

Here's a little reality check: just do it!

OK, I'll try the AT90S1200 and design that uPCore.

enjoy
