First time I've heard the "T Shaped Professional."

That is exactly what I've been aiming toward becoming. You're a 'deviner' (developer/designer), maybe I'm a bizdeveloper.

It's a relatively old term actually. I believe the guys from IDEO first introduced it. Very valid concept though.

Which is really just another form of the quote "know everything about something and something about everything."

I've never seen it put this way, but it's quite elegant. Did you come up with that?
