  • The 2015 Gear Post

    The 2015 Gear Post

    At last! I’m going to start this gear post with a promise, since everyone’s been so patient: the 2016 Gear Post will be out on or before the Monday following Thanksgiving of 2015. The bad news is that I fear my gear posts are going to slowly become more boring over time. While my main…

  • Seeing Faults in Others

    Seeing Faults in Others

    Sometimes I would be in my own little world. I remember, as a kid, helping my dad with projects, and he would say that I was oblivious to what was going on around me. He’d be waiting for me to hand him a hammer, but I’d be staring off at something else. And then, around…

  • How I Decided to Move to Las Vegas In 12 Hours

    How I Decided to Move to Las Vegas In 12 Hours

    My friend Leo suggested once that I write a post about how I make decisions. Since then I’ve been waiting for the right moment, one where I made a large decision in a very short amount of time. That happened today, when I decided to move to Las Vegas. From time to time I check…

  • A Weekend in Hong Kong

    A Weekend in Hong Kong

    I spent the weekend in Hong Kong, which sounds a lot more extravagant than it actually was. Early last year there was a flight deal that offered a round trip flight to Hong Kong cheaply enough that the miles earned in the process were worth the price of the ticket, and the flight alone was…

  • Remember Why You’re Really Doing It

    Remember Why You’re Really Doing It

    As you may know, my friend Sebastian and I have a bet going where we must write a blog post every single day for two years. We ironed out the terms and conditions, but one area was left slightly fuzzy– we both travel a lot, so what happens when time zones interfere? We agreed that…

  • The 2014 Transpacific Cruise

    The 2014 Transpacific Cruise

    The end of a long cruise always feels a bit unfair. It doesn’t seem right that tomorrow morning I’ll be unceremoniously dumped onto the pier in Yokohama, Japan. Over the past fifteen days I’ve become accustomed to my new social circle of nine friends and a couple thousand senior citizens. The new routines we’ve made…

  • Where Your Advantages Will Come From

    Where Your Advantages Will Come From

    Since you’re reading my blog, it’s probably fair to guess that you’re not content to coast through life, and that you’ve got ambitions that you’re chasing. Maybe, like mine, these ambitions are beyond your current scope. They’re things that will require years of effort to achieve, and maybe the feasibility of ever achieving them is…

  • My New Book: Superhuman by Habit

    My New Book: Superhuman by Habit

    After many months of being deprioritized due to Sett and other obligations, I’ve finally finished my new book on habits, Superhuman by Habit. It’s available right now on Amazon. I’ve been writing for nine years now, and a good portion of that time has been spent focused on self-improvement. How can I get the most…

  • How To Earn Hundreds of Thousands of Frequent Flyer Miles Every Year

    How To Earn Hundreds of Thousands of Frequent Flyer Miles Every Year

    As I write, I’m flying over Wyoming on my way to Kansas City, Missouri. I’ll be there for approximately fourteen hours, just long enough to watch the Invicta FC 8 Women’s MMA fight and then get some sleep. Such opulence! To fly across the country just to go to a sporting event. The truth, though,…

  • One Year Update on the Island We Bought

    One Year Update on the Island We Bought

    It’s been nearly a year since we bought an island near Halifax. We went in being completely clueless, our only salvation knowing that we were completely clueless and would have to learn a lot. And boy, have we. I’ve spent more time on the island than in my RV over the past couple months, and…
