I picked a niche awhile back and basically ignore everything outside of that particular light cone. It turns out, this strategy is incredibly lucrative and as a bonus I dont have to worry about learning the tool of the week until it crosses that boundary.

That sounds like an interesting strategy. What niche did you end up on? I'm still a young developer so I have time/patience to try new stuff, but I'd love to focus on a niche someday.
Ruby/Rails/PostgreSQL, rendering on the server as much as possible, jQuery for client-side stuff as much as possible. I occasionally niche down even further to Stripe integrations within that sphere, but there's not as much work there as I would have hoped.
