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.

The Bottom Line
...if you’re young, dear God, don’t try to live the way your parents did. You don’t need three bedrooms, although a roof is nice. Get the hell outa Dodge and stir things up. Leave! Adapt! Believe in yourself! Have fun! The bottom line is, do I have shelter and enough to eat. Everything else is optional. EVERYTHING! There are no rules!!! Just keep it simple: get that first bit down, no matter how, and you can get creative with the rest.
