I am banging this out right before I have to go to work. Facebook is down due to a site issue. I was reading an article that says they built the platform on MySQL that is not optimal for a site like Facebook because they put it together with no idea how big it would blow up. The site needs to start over from scratch, but they can't. They are chained to decisions made when Fuckerberg was just some pimply ass college geek.

A bunch of people are adding me on Google+, but I am not ready to rock hard on that platform anytime soon. It has to reach a critical mass for me to spend the time on it. I was a late adopter to Facebook, but I got up to speed fairly quickly.

G+ will succeed to the extent that Facebook will fail. Facebook does a lot of dumb shit to piss off its users. This is because Mark Fuckerberg is a clueless socially inept shit-for-brains fucking dork. That company's biggest liability is its founder. Fuckerberg is the anti-Steve Jobs. That site would be worth more if that fool stepped away from the company.

This brings us to the left brain/right brain thing. You need both to really succeed today. This is what Steve Jobs was able to do. That guy has the brain of both a geek and an artist. I was reading where the most valuable people in tech today are people who are both designers and engineers.

I am a minimalist when it comes to lifestyle, but when it comes to work and skills, I am a maximalist. I believe in the Renaissance ideal in that regard. The most valuable people are the ones with a diversified skill set and who never stop learning.

Off to work.
