Tools, How many do you need?

In my tool box: hammer, lots of screw drivers, levels, tape measures, 4 kinds of tape, heat gun, screw gun, olfa knives-two kinds, rulers, vice grips, tweezers, 3x pairs of pliers, soldering iron, etc.

in my computer box: CS, FCP, office, iwork, ilife, xtorrent, adium, quicktime, quick silver, skype

in my internet box: im, gmail, twitter, facebook, google, google, google, godaddy, pando

in my pocket: keys, ipod, phone, pens, notebook, glasses, wallet

in my bag: something to read, something to write on, clif bar, biz cards, product cards

I'm missing a lot. both in the list, and in my knowledge. People ask me stuff. I either tell them the answer, or I tell them my best guess as to where I think they can find the answer. I have all these tools, but I don't really ever feel like I have all the answers. I feel like I know a lot, never everything, and there is always room for more. I feel like my brain cross-links all sorts of things. I don't think that makes me smarter... Is there one tool that is going to get me there? I wish I could say that in the kitchen I only use my knife for everything, and I wish that I could say that I don't need anything else in my kitchen, but I need a fine mesh strainer. To make ginger ale.
