12/12/2001 - Simplicity
Last weekend I finished touching up Brian and Phil's Website. Added a few pages, cleaned up the code, and generally simplified the whole thing.
SIMPLICITY
That seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life these days. From Web development to song writing to martial arts - simplicity is king. Whenever I start something my efforts are always too fancy, too complicated. In part, I guess this is healthy experimentation, but I can't help but wonder if I'm also attempting to prove I'm good.
As time goes by, and I actually start to get good at whatever it is, I also begin to shed all the unnecessary trappings. It never fails.
- Doing spinning, flying kicks will make me a better fighter. - No it really won't.
- If my music is busy and complex it will sound better. - Not likely.
- Yet another blinking animated flash-thing on my Web page will make it more appealing. Absolutely not!
