This is blatant proof. Seems that Techmeme.com picked up Sam’s write up about my new plans.
I didn’t think it was that big of news, but I guess the Techmeme system did! Or, more likely, they value Sam’s Costpernews.com highly, as they should. That’s probably it :)

Business Around A Lifestyle
The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.
That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?
Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
Hadn’t seen that yet… very cool for the both of us! Techmeme is great as an “A List” aggregator, but like Alexa, page views, or “unique visitors,” you have to take it with a grain of salt since it is a somewhat of a walled-garden system. But once you’re in, the ground is fertile. I wish it picked up on some of the great content being put out by blogs that might not necessarily be doing the A List dance, but that’s for another post.
