So what's next? Well, in my search for vocation nirvana, the first step is getting paid to think about the things I like to think about. As an amateur cultural anthropologist I like to think about social intercourse and was spending a lot of time on MySpace.com. So that's the second reason for leaving WeblogsInc and actually my next job, I have taken a gig as SVP, Head of Marketing & Content for MySpace. It is the perfect solution, now I have a job where I can hang out on MySpace.com all day and not get Fired. I can be an amateur cultural anthropologist by helping to define and shape the brand of, arguably, the biggest cultural phenomenon this century.

Another aspect of my search for vocation nirvana is finding the intersection of commerce and virtue-doing well while doing good. In this new position I will be able to use the influence of the MySpace brand to innovate in internet safety and get involved with some great causes--having a positive effect on our culture (corny, but true).
