Priorities

This one post a month thing is stupid. Alot of things that I do are stupid. After reading the worse is better theory I've decided that the theory fits the pattern of success in many things. I also really like the focus that "worse is better" puts on simplicity. Simple things are easier to understand and easier to change. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I am a minimalist at heart. In my opinion, as a general rule, unless there is a "good" reason for something, it's unneccesary. HOWEVER, the beauty of "worse is better" is that defining "good" is not a primary issue. The first task in worse is better is to keep things simple. Not creating anything is pretty simple, and that doesn't really violate worse is better(though it doesn't yield anything either). There is no better quote for this concept than "It is better to destroy than to create what is unneccesary." In the spirit of this philosophy of design and creation, I'm writing a short book. It will be at least 325 pages, and I will be finished on Dec. 31. Yes, that is a completely unreasonable deadline. When I am finished, I will decide where to proceed from there. I'm pretty much following WiB. I have a very rough(10 line) outline, but I didn't write that until I had already written a few pages of the book. I basically have no rules set for myself besides have 325 pgs written by midnight Dec. 31. Look forward to a post about my experiences with this experiment short after that.
