re: ten minutes gossip in someone else's life so be your own person. What a great -- and true -- way to put it. Ditto to the new ten seconds time table.

I always told my kids: You are just ten minutes gossip in someone else's life, so be your own person. I think with the warp speed of our age, it's more like you are ten seconds gossip in someone else's life!!!!

I saw the book on Seth's blog last week and immediately bought it - pithy, rude and incredibly insightful. I do have to be careful to avoid beverages while reading, so's not to spray when I burst out laughing at one of his cartoons. Two of my favorite chapters, "Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether." and "Savor obscurity while it lasts."

yes - his blog is great. ugly and utilitarian, but it goes to show that when you have great content - the brilliance carries itself.

I recently looked through his book and website (www.gapingvoid.com) and found both hilariously on point.
