That’s right. Earlier this evening Time announced the recipient of their annual Person of the Year award, this year Time chose wisely and added me to the list of dignitaries, heads of state and Bono. Don’t believe me? Think I’m that narcissistic that I would make such a ridiculous claim? Check out what Time had to say:
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.
Now do you believe me? I won. I am the Person of the Year. This is going on my resume. I’m going to call up Bono, Giuliani, Bush and Clinton so that we can have a Person of the Year reunion next week. What a great accomplishment this is.

Wow, so TIME didn’t pick a person? They just said: it’s you!
