Unfocused

I was reading a post by Michael Hyatt this week called ‘Why I Stopped Reading Your Blog’.  A few of the points he made I agreed with, a few I didn’t.  One of the points made me think for a while about this site, specifically his point about being unfocused.  Michael is a great writer and a tremendous businessman, and I respect what he has to say on most every topic.

The topics I cover here are at best widely varied, which is just a nice way to say unfocused if I am being honest.  At least that’s how it probably looks.  I write about politics, sports, technology, education, religion and anything else I care about.  Some of what I write elicits responses, some fall silently to the earth with a small “poof” and are lost forever.

So, am I unfocused, and if so is that a bad thing?  Should I be another technologist droning on about who wins the iPhone / Android battle or the other topics du jour?  Or is this space my own little slice to just let it all out?

I came to the conclusion after thinking about it that, for me, being unfocused is my focus, if that makes any sense.  In other words, this is who I am.  I don’t think about one thing all day and live and die with it.  My universe has a good bit of entropy, and so does this site.
