Simplicity Enables Excellence

I recently read this statement: simplicity enables excellence.

And it really got me thinking. Many times, I can fall for the trap that complexity equals excellence.

Like, why are there so many buttons on a remote that I never use!?

Airpocalypse Audition

Why play real instruments when you can play air instruments? I mean, why be one of those nerds who plays expert on Rockband when you could be one of these guys!

I don’t really know what happened. It wasn’t like I was laughing hard or dealing with early onset incontinence.

But I do remember sitting there as the smell began…anyways.

That is my most embarrassing moment, what’s yours?

If you are wondering why this post is so random, I just think that all of us need to have a little more fun on Mondays.
