I sometimes wish I could just go where the market goes, but I can't. I've never learned how to aim the analytical engine in my head, only to figure out where it is pointing, so I can try to put myself into a job where someone will pay me to think about whatever it is that I am apparently going to be spending my time thinking about next.

Nothing about the web inspires me or engages my attention, which has left me wondering lately whether I'm still in the right industry. Not sure what else I could reasonably do for a living, though, since I doubt my brain is going to stop working on software problems whether I'm still getting paid to work on them or not.
