   Dustie, sorry I marked your comment as spam, I thought you were a troll or something. I checked the source code for my website (the front page, anyway, which this page links to) and I can’t find any malicious code that would’ve been put in by a hacker or anything, so you definitely didn’t get it from my site. I uploaded a copy of the page from my computer (a Mac, so we know that’s not infected, even if I’d somehow missed it in the code) just as a precaution. (continued….)

   Not sure why the second part of my response hasn’t shown up (please excuse if it shows up after I post this and I end up repeating myself). It sounds like you use Windows, and I’m guessing are still using Internet Explorer, which really is a bad idea. Get the free Mozilla Firefox, which makes it harder for your computer to get infected. Do not click any link in the message on your desktop: it’s a trick to get your system more infected! I’d run Kaspersky (best AV) as well as Ad-Aware & Spybot.

   (… continued). Either way, I hope you can get it cleaned up, but I can’t find any evidence that my site’s been hacked, so it couldn’t have come from me. It must’ve happened when you visited another site, or maybe by another means like an email attachment, etc. I hope you can get it cleaned up quickly and easily. Good luck with it.

   that conscious competence is my problem in most things. I was playing Guitar Hero once and I just turned red while playing the game on easy. Thinking too much is my problem.

    if you can make videos on any other subjects ( not saying computers are bad i love them) such as “green science” or electronics. I just feel that your methods for teaching are brilliantly effective.

    i thought this was suppose to be about computers not psychology…

    While some of my other video lessons, here and on my own site, deal more directly with understanding computer concepts, tips avoiding problems, step-by-step how-to lessons, etc. this series deals with how your mind works and how you learn. Understanding and applying these concepts in this and the other videos in the series will make it easier to learn computers and basically anything.
    That’s actually more valuable than a simple-how to.

    Thank you. I have a broader range of interests, to be sure, including future trends of technology and how it will change all our lives, and other things which I think people like yourself would find interesting or valuable to know about.
    I have thought about branching out, but have been too overloaded with work in my business. Hope to be getting some help very soon which will free me up to do more videos like what you’re talking about.

    When you’re “thinking” (I’m guessing internal dialogue — Talking to yourself in other words) that is very much using the conscious mind. The key is to allow yourself to “get out of your own way” and stop thinking and just do. That’s the key to true skill with anything.

    (why am I suddenly hearing Yoda in my head?)

    emm can you help me with my computer every day when i playing a game m computer is shuting down

    It’s kind of hard for me to diagnose without looking at it directly, but if it only happens when you’re playing a game, then you may have some kind of hardware problem. What’s happening like when a person exercises — if they’re healthy, that’s no problem, but if they have a heart condition for example, hard exercise might be very bad for them.
    So since playing a game (at least a fairly high-end one) works the computer more, it reveals the problem. One possibility. Hope that helps.

    I love the mix of psychology and learning. Makes learning a lot easier and it goes faster.
