Good.

Tactile thinking remains quite useful and having the basic motor skills translates into manufacturing, the arts, and more of life than many may realize.

Early in my life, I began to "calibrate" my perception. I call it the "eyecrometer"

Today, I can call out sizes, distances, speeds, feeds and more to fairly high accuracy a majority of the time. It has paid off in manufacturing and prototyping more times than I can count.

This all starts with the basics:

Read it, hear it, see it, feel it, do it, say it.

A younger coworker has began a similar journey. And they just started a robotics group on it too.

Be digital. It helps. It has power, but don't trade your potential for the love of trees.

Augment said potential instead.
