You may notice that things look a little different on the site (unless you’re reading this in a reader). I’ve ditched my old theme and a over 75% of the content. Don’t say I didn’t warn you this was happening.

Now, I declare war on this antiquated saying and way of thinking.

The saying implies that you have to specialize in something, or you will never find your full potential. It’s the hidden threat and slight air of superiority that appeals to my never-sleeping inner rebel. Continue reading →
