A friend told me about the gapingvoid Web site a while back but I recently revisited it to read the essay on "How to Be Creative." The essay is pretty long but is worth the read, especially for those of you who have a knack for creativity but find the 9 to 5 lifestyle suppressing your inner creative.

The author is a brit named Hugh who has managed to parlay his drunken pasttime of drawing cartoons on the backs of his business cards into a full time gig of being a "blogvertising" consultant. Way to go Hugh, if we could only all find that kind of successful outlet. More about Hugh and the gapingvoid.

For those of us who might not be able to find that outlet fulltime, we may feel better after reading Hugh's "Sex and Cash Theory."
