If anyone deserves this type of recognition its Kanye. To fall on his face the way he did at the 2009 MTV Music Awards (honestly I don’t think what he did was that bad) and pick himself up to drop the best album of the year and arguably his career puts him in the drivers seat as the man of the year and possibly one of the greatest rappers of all time. Let’s give a toast to the asshole… Kanye.

Seth Godin “The Marketing Messiah”
Seth Godin is really one of the most amazing minds in our lifetime. He continuously challenges the status que in creative/fun ways (Ms. Frizzle Style). His approach to modern day business and marketing is second to none. I’ve read his blog on a daily basis for the past 2 years and he has single handily changed my approach to work, marketing and technology. (damn that sounded like an infomercial)
