Multipotentialite, Polymath, Scanner, or an old-fashioned Renaissance Person?

I created this blog about a year and a half ago, when I first decided to accept the fact that I have more than one interest. Like a lot more. Like...a whole lot more. One of my first posts was the blog graveyard where I discussed all the very, very various blogs that I'd created and then abandoned, sometimes without so much as a single published post. The idea behind triple V was that I could post ANY of my various blog post ideas right here, even if today's post has nothing to do with yesterday's. To some extent, I think I let that get away from me. I started these series that I felt guilty about not following up on, which made me avoid blogging altogether.  For that, I apologize. (Mostly to myself - my most loyal reader!) I say all this because I was doing some digging tonight about people who have a hard time committing - not in relationships (at least not just in relationships) - but in all aspects of life, including careers and even hobbies. I have kno...

Picking components for a custom computer: pcpartpicker.com

The website pcpartpicker.com is my favorite website in the world. Besides Triple V, of course (laugh track). It allows you to browse through an obscene selection of components, compare prices at a number of online stores (including my three favorites as mentioned in the Active Deals of the Day post - Newegg, Amazon, and Best Buy), and build a parts list for your computer, all while checking for incompatibilities.

Blog Graveyard

From what I hear, blogging is something that takes a lot of work. That's not something I have personal experience with, despite the many, many blogs I've started in my life. Note the keyword there. Started . I've developed tons of ideas for blogs, named about a dozen of them, occasionally purchased a domain name ( VoraciousBooks.com being the best example, as I purchased it several years ago and am only now getting it off the ground), and in extreme cases, I've even written a post or two. But, then before you know it, that little demon known as anxiety poofs into place on my shoulder, and the angels of self-confidence and inspiration are nowhere to be found. It may take a couple of weeks, or it may only be hours. He convinces me that no one is interested in what I have to say. My writing isn't good enough, my ideas aren't original enough, and even if they were, I don't have enough of them to fill out an entire blog. When it comes down to it, that last...
