One for the resume

MCP, CCNA, 12 years experience, oh and I was Time's Person of the Year for 2006. Of course, so were you, so its not all that cool. In fact its pretty freaking stupid.

Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I'm not going to watch Lost tonight. I'm going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I'm going to mash up 50 Cent's vocals with Queen's instrumentals? I'm going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion?

The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME's Person of the Year for 2006 is you.

That's wonderful, you think viral videos and memes are the trend of the year. I wouldn't argue with you, so how hard is it to find a representative of this trend? How about Youtube founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley? Ok billionaires are not representative of the trend. How about a user? Let's go with Macaca himself, S.R. Sidarth, There's a user who almost singlehandedly changed the balance of power in the US Senate. Nope none of that though, they chose me, and I proudly accept the award for Time's Person of the Year.
