It’s funny - I know a bit about guitars. A lot more than most, but when I talk with some guitar geeks, I feel positively ignorant.
Strategy and strategic planning - it’s what I do for the businesses I have worked for. One of those things that is a craft, but everyone feels they can do.
Business writing - again, a specific craft that most folks think they can do. No way to argue, and no way to claim credentials that works in this setting.
Foggy…I do have a thing for Ellen Greene (Audrey), but carnivorous plants are not my area of concentration; they are fascinating, but I have room for only a few hundred plants and most carnivorous plants require growing conditions very different from my present collection.
But thanks for the reference to Seymour.
Glad I started this. Sad I forgot about it.
Some smart people here.
I think I’m an expert in the field of Magic: The Gathering. Not that I’m as good a player as the absolute top players (although I’m good enough that I can compete with them and win some of the time) but my knowledge of the game as a whole is extensive and comprehensive. There are very very few topics related to M:TG about which I can not converse knowledgeably.
I’m also the world’s leading expert on some parts of the Cryptic Studios MMO engine. Mainly, the parts that I wrote and maintain. But given that I’ve worked here for a loooong time now that expertise probably doesn’t transfer much to anything else in the field.
I am an expert at using Cyrax on Mortal Kombat 9. (That’s not a joke either, although I can see if you don’t play video games much that could sound funny).
I could possibly be considered an expert at drawing too.
I would say that those two things are possibly THE things I am an expert at.
I’m an expert at Call of Duty (having played every game since modern warfare), and a really good cook.
Parallel Parker
At least, a few years back when I routinely visited/lived in NYC.
I executed what I feel is the Supreme Parallel Parking feat. I parked my car in a space that was about 6 inches longer than my car, without bashing the other cars, and with the passenger side tires right alongside the curb. It looked like I was the victim of a practical joke, where the other cars deliberately tried to box me in.
Homebrewing across a wide variety of styles, and I have the boxes and boxes of competition ribbons to back up the claim.
Other than that, I’m more of a generalist.
Hi, I saw you had written something about a old Spanish coin from a ship wreck? I have one that my Grandfather gave to me. And Its got a Kings head on the front and on the back like a person with theire arms like an egyption with a bird on one arm. Can you tell me where it could be from?. I know it was gotten from Mel Fisher store in Florida.
Thx
Believe it or not, I’ve actually asked. 
However, Sony Japan plays thing very close to the vest.
That’s a good question. Cause there are people who claim to be experts at things too often and in reality many just think highly of themselves. For example, I have a neighbor who thinks of himself as an expert in anything to do with the building of a home from electrical to plumbing to construction, but he has never been paid to do any of those things in that capacity.
There are stages of being an expert. You know nothing, then you learn something, but you know more about something than most people, so others call you an expert. You then call yourself an expert. Then you learn a great deal more and don’t think of yourself as an expert because you realize there is so much more to know out there and you can’t know it all. But you still call yourself an expert, because most of the people around you are clueless and why shouldn’t you speak up and take the better job of project.
