279 Days to Overnight Success
If you have any interest in building a presence on the internet this manifesto, 279 Days to Overnight Success, by Chris Guillebeau over at The Art of Non-Conformity - Unconventional Strategies for Life, Work, and Travel might be worth looking over.
Dave Pollard linked to this manifesto on his blog yesterday and I found it a good read. This guy's pretty sharp. And making an online living while traveling the world.

Politics and the English Language
....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase -- some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse -- into the dustbin, where it belongs.
