way past 10,000 hours of DesigningYou might think telepathic is a stretch, but the ability to communicate an ideafrom one mind to another is an amazing thing which takes years to develop.My most recent display of power? Using my telepathic powers, Ive influenced over65,000 minds with just 3 SlideShare presentations.With 18 years of professional design, I hit the 10,000 hour marker years ago.According to some statistics, that qualifies me as an expert telepath. ;)

Of the 73% that had, the average was 6.5 books.That means I read more than 10 times the national average (which doesnt even takeinto account the average 2500 blog articles per month that Google Reader says Iconsume).Ive been reading like this for years...and Ill tell you why in just a few slides.
