Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful Buy ultram without prescription, . In that definition are the two Simplicity Paths: tearing down and building up.

Tear down

Simplicity Path One: Tear down

Build up

Thanks, Tom.

I think I use these two paths every day. In the planning stages of projects, it avoids feature creep if I can first lay out the minimum requirements to make something work.

When it comes to implementation, I also use it to first create a basic version, before layering on features. Degradable Javascript is a good example of getting to the core (the non-JS version), then layering more interaction on top of that.
