Though there’s no actual post today, I have not let these fall by the wayside, exactly. Rather, I’ve had the misfortune where the last several videos I’ve tried have made me go, “Hrm. You know, I really don’t recommend this one. At all.”
Not due to stylistic or philosophical differences but due to concrete concerns I have with alignment or cuing — both of which, in these cases, boil down to concerns about safety.
I don’t want to post these and be dishonest or hedging about my concerns. I also don’t want to post a video where my effect — regardless of my intent — would be primarily to explain how it is not good.
And so I have been operating in “discretion is the better part of valor” mode and simply electing not to write about these.
Midterm grades are due next week, so I’m not sure about the post for the 14th — but at least for a couple of weeks after that, I plan to go with a known quantity source (where the worst I can say is that I may not always like the practices, but at least they do have a reputation of being quality instruction) and keep this show on the road.
