Officially Unfocused

I'm tired of hearing web architects preach about content focus and target audiences. They are preaching the truth, but I'm the choir and I'm tired of hearing the same ol' sermon. Besides, my website is the exception. Perhaps my website's focus is simply me, which would explain why everything is so random and stream-of-consciousness. My target audience? Everyone that might find my website whether they know me or not. My website's goal isn't to capture an audience of regular readers who interact with my content on a daily basis... not even weekly or monthly. Well... maybe monthly. Occasionally family, friends, coworkers, peer developers, my step-son's friends, my wife's extended family and friends, strangers who find their way here, people who read one of my forum posts or saw a bit of my code... These are all drastically different audiences who are coming to this website for different reasons and they will each find 1 or more aspects of my experience (dare I suggest even my personality?) interesting. Or, not. Whether they do or do not, they've hopefully had the opportunity to enjoy something that relates to them. Yes, that includes enjoying being negative about something too (you odd, MySpace SPAM lovers who I think either 1) don't understand what I'm attempting to teach [so, I'm a bad teacher to them] or 2) represent the spamming community and are mad at me).
