Hofstadter's book about the Tortoise, Achilles and the Djinni who pushed and popped their way into nested levels of awareness, only it's a blog.

One thing to consider, however, is that the typical worker 'earns' a lot more from their job than just their salary -- health insurance is a bitch, and there are also a number of other benefits (retirement matches, etc.) that come with a real job. So be sure to consider the whole ball of wax when thinking about cutting the cord and striking out on your own. The beauty of writing, of course, is that you can do it as a sideline and still earn a solid chunk of change. I’m in a similar position re: earnings from writing online vs. earnings from my job.

This may be true, but only if you want it to be. "Get Rich Slowly" sounds like the perfect book title, and I'm positive if you wanted to write a book you would be able to find a publisher. “More and more, it’s clear that I may never publish a book (at least not in the traditional sense)!”
