Something I tend to do is open my blog and write as I read. At the end of a say, 2 hour reading session, my notes kinda tell me what I should be writing about. I've been considering doing this on a monthly round up type approach. So I post a link, thought, idea, critique etc, then at the end of the month turn all those little posts into one articulate review. The Jack of all trades, master of none - chicken or the egg type balance is an interesting one. Personally, I come from being a video/flash productionist to more of a Jack. I think I prefer the diversity of skills and knowledge I have now... Hi Mike,

Is this the new look for Work@TAFE?

Something I tend to do is open my blog and write as I read. At the end of a say, 2 hour reading session, my notes kinda tell me what I should be writing about. I’ve been considering doing this on a monthly round up type approach.

The Jack of all trades, master of none - chicken or the egg type balance is an interesting one. Personally, I come from being a video/flash productionist to more of a Jack. I think I prefer the diversity of skills and knowledge I have now…

Just trying some of the available themes :) This one flashes enough to give anyone a fit when it first loads... or is it just my browser? That's a great idea too... must keep a new post open, even a draft or something and just take notes as I read! As for the Jack of all trades... do you reckon you're not so selective in the skills that you learn Leigh... I mean, would you consider sitting down with a "Java in 24 Days" book to learn how to program Java? (or CSS/HTML/substitute some technology that <em>could</em> be useful to you but whose usefulnessis not immediately beneficial). I don't think Jason was saying that he's against a diverse set of skills, but just being wary of spreading yourself too thin... although, maybe you're right, he does talk about "drifting to far from your core specialities"... sometimes it takes a good drifting away to find even better specialities? *confused* New look?
