Great post! Really like it. If you're genuinely soliciting 
constructive feedback my one suggestion would be to maybe change 
the blog name to something a bit less quirky. To be honest I was 
50/50 whether I'd read the post when I saw the title. Glad I read 
the post in the end, but I suspect many may be put off by it....

Cheers,
