The video is very good actually and it’s nice to see you : D

Your manifesto is really inspiring me, though I still haven’t figured out a way I can help the world being better. And I’m having quite a hard time discovering it.

But thank you. And keep it up!

Hey Chris,

Your anecdote about the person that asked you when you were getting a real job reminded me of a similar experience I had when backpacking 2 years ago. People kept asking me what I was going to do ‘when I got back to the real world’. I always thought that was a funny thing to say.

Another funny thing people would say is that after the fun backpacking times it would be time to become ‘responsible’. Responsible to what or to whom I don’t know… mortgage, family, society? Everyone except yourself I suppose.

Hi Chris,Having seen your video is important for me because now I’ve got an impression what you mean with your manifesto. I will download it and read it.

So very nice to have the video, though I admit that I would have been equally happy with just audio. It made a difference to hear the Two Important Questions from you…not sure why, or how much of a difference, but it did.

I’ve been in thought and in motion on Q2 since reading the manifesto last week…plenty of mental and task pruning…can’t wait to see what’s left after all the clutter is gone!

Safe, happy, and blessed travels to you.

Safe, happy, and blessed travels to you.

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback.

Yes, apologies to those with slow connections, those with hearing disabilities, etc. I realize that video does have its limitations, and I am certainly not an expert with it.

My idea with the video updates is that they will be complimentary to the other stuff, but definitely not taking the place of any other content. I want to do some things with video because people have different learning styles, and some people prefer the combination of audio/video to that of printed words. But because I am first and foremost a writer, the words will always be the priority.

OK, off to pack for my trip! Take care.

I will be skipping this post, I tried, but on my slower connection video buffers every few minutes, usually in the middle of a word, so the sense of any spoken material is lost. I am not on a slow connection because I am poor, but because it is all that is available in my location. So you might want to keep that in mind. When I see a video post – I skip it without a glance because I know I cannot watch it. It is estimated that over half of Internet users are still on slow connections for one reason or another.
