I can't believe this guy comes up first in a Google search for "The Generalist" out of the roughly eight million other possibilities Google has in its cache. Among other amazing achievements, he edited the first magazine on trees. Which, I'm sure, was the most captivating magazine on trees of its day. Truly riveting stuff. What an entrepreneur. But I'm more of a generalist, and it's high time we duke it out for the title.
John May, author of that other generalist blog, has given me new purpose in life. I'm going to win the number one spot. With such a big target (think Salesforce.com vs. Siebel or America vs. Evil) I'm sure to have a long fight ahead of me. But at least I'll be fighting the good fight. No Rodin exhibits, no Klimpt on my pages. Just truly generalist thinking.
If only that Rollins guy had goals over at Dell. But I digress. I have to stop writing for the moment, so I can go execute step one of my plan: dye my hair white and take a picture.
