A Man Divided

Aaron Mahnke took a look at his blogs and decided that he had too many. I had a similar problem. I had a tech blog, a photo blog, a link blog etc.

The reality is simple: I am one man, not many. I’m not a designer and business writer and fantasy author and product designer; I’m just Aaron Mahnke. The things that I create are fragments of my soul, and to keep them separated and segregated into their own corners of the internet is akin to locking away siblings, never to see each other again.

I too felt fragmented so last year I consolidated all my blogs under this one.

My personal writing needs to be consolidated to one site. My books, tools, products and freebies all need to live there, where my readers can find them with the greatest ease.

Language skills

You’ve probably been alive for at least a decade or two, reading, writing and speaking all the while. Now imagine that, after all that time and exposure, you’ve failed to quite grasp where commas go, or which version of “there” is appropriate for a given sentence. Others can’t help but make assumptions about you in that context. What assumptions would you make, in an analogous situation? ~ Matt Gemmell

Wow! Right!

Learning To Code

Leaves

The future belongs to those who create. And creating isn’t limited or bounded by the ability to program or code.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][Randy Murray](http://whowritesforyou.com/2013/07/16/not-every-child-needs-to-learn-how-to-code/)

I fully agree. I learned to code on my own in early high-school. I enjoy writing code now as much as I enjoyed it back then. But I've also learned to create art via [my photography](http://khurtwilliams.com). Learning to code didn't help with that.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
