Sounds reasonable to me.
Although I have to ask, the posting of a personal manifesto such as this is usually always prompted in some way, either directly or indirectly. Additional context and/or motivations, please? ;-)
This was inspired by three things:
1. Lessig's 20 minutes or so on why I am 4Barack. He examined the candidates' principles, prompting me to think about mine.
2. My annual review at Adobe. Some feedback was that I am so passionate about certain things that I can appear to lose focus, so I tried to describe my focus with three words.
3. I've doubled my readers and sextupled my followers in the past year. In searching for a way to say hello, I thought I should introduce myself. Also, I like lists, and things in threes.
Thanks for asking!
