Philosophy of Contribution
I do not believe that we are here merely to write articles, but also to learn, to gain knowledge, to increase our own understanding. As such, I rarely if ever "focus" on one segment of articles. I prefer to move from place to place.

I do focus somewhat on business related materials, but I will shift gears every so often to something else.
