The other day at the doctor's office, while I was waiting, I picked up a copy of a magazine called Town & Country. It didn't do much for me; perhaps I have too much country and not enough town in me. It seemed a bit highfalutin, but not in the good way of magazines like GQ and Connoisseur. (Sadly, it seems the latter is no longer published.) Nonetheless, there was one slightly interesting article in it on the topic of the renaissance man, and whether it was possible for a true renaissance man, such as Leonardo da Vinci or Thomas Jefferson, to exist today.
What prompted me to think of this now? I was thinking today that I'd like to redesign my website. Perhaps even just start completely from scratch: new colors, new style sheet, new fonts, new graphics, the whole shebang. Really, it would be a tremendous amount of work. I would probably need to use a tool like Microsoft Visual InterDev and build a working version of a development site, then bring it online all at once. (If anyone has any suggestions about a good tool to use to try to start a new website from scratch, besides Visual InterDev, let me know.) Then I got to thinking that I really don't have the time for that kind of project. I really don't have the time to be a real renaissance man, despite my potential.
