Three Blogs?

After I started compiling the various musings, journal entries, and sticky notes laying around my house and office, I noticed that I had three distinct "buckets" of content: 

1. professional stuff. all things ideas (adoption, creation, execution), innovation evolution, asymmetric ideation, branding & marketing, and organizational design.
2. personal stuff. items that relate to challenging myself to be a better man, husband, father, and transient being.
3. random. fly-by thoughts, quotes, pictures, and anecdotes (on Tumblr as of May '14).

Therefore, as a personal experiment, I decided to separate each of these areas into sections to see which subject matter gets more of my attention. Plus, as a self-diagnosed clutter-phobe,  I simply couldn't get past the possibility of posting a piece on my kid's adventures followed by a more intense piece on death.  In the end, I hope you enjoy each of my brain compartmentalizations...er, lenses.
