Clarity is not the same as simplicity… Complexity can be made to appear clear by effective organization and presentation and need not be reduced to meaningless &#8216;bite-sized&#8217; chunks of data, as simplification usually does. Clarity refers to the focus on one particular message or goal at a time, rather than attempting to accomplish too much at once. Simplicity is often responsible for the &#8216;dumbing&#8217; of information rather than the illumination of it. </p> <p>– Michael Hoffman</p>http://www.imarthur.com/post/8741225227http://www.imarthur.com/post/8741225227Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:28:03 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpq5ipPd7l1qbx7dfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.imarthur.com/post/8740882427http://www.imarthur.com/post/8740882427Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:18:25 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpq5h3YCqn1qbx7dfo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.imarthur.com/post/8740849762http://www.imarthur.com/post/8740849762Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:17:26 -0700beautiful type<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpq581ny1t1qbx7dfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.imarthur.com/post/8740656158http://www.imarthur.com/post/8740656158Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:12:00 -0700<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ik2CZqsAw28?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>…which brings me to my next point.
