[sdiy] open letter to Aaron Lanterman

[Scott K Warren]

I think video is a very poor medium for most technical communication,  
certainly no substitute for a well written document. It's no excuse  
that "young people" prefer watching video to reading. No offense,  
Aaron, but I think educators should be working hard to reverse that  
trend, not catering to it.

That said -- thanks, Aaron, for your great job of building a synth  
engineering curriculum, teaching all those students so much, and  
sharing their work with us.

Hoping for the reports,

skw
