Both Items Found!
Wow… I can’t believe you guys found both of the things I was looking for. I consider myself a fifth level black belt of finding stuff online, but I’ve been humbled. Scott found the angle adapter here: http://www.igo.com/product.asp?sku=3776087 Cassius found the splitter thing here: http://www.moons-power.com/ Mine was black, but those other colors are awesome!

Maybe I Should Stop Watching Movies
Every time I leave a movie I always think, “I should never watch movies again.” And then I remember that I told myself the exact same thing last time I watched a movie, but ignored it. When we were in Thailand we went to a really cool theater in the Siam Paragon to watch Indiana…

Please Help Me Find These Things
I am going crazy trying to find two very small pieces of gear that would make my life a whole lot easier. I can’t find any trace of them online, but I KNOW that they exist because I have had one of each at some point. The first one is an ingenious little chunk of…

A New Plan for Life Nomadic
As our stack of plane tickets gets thinner and our passports get more and more inked up, we’ve started thinking about what we’re going to do next year. A repeat? Take some time off? Some combination?

The Hovercraft
I had just stumbled across a site called www.hackaday.com, and I was fascinated. Most of the hacks were too nerdy for me to really be interested in, but one stuck out. “Build a Hovercraft for under $100” Yeah! As a kid I would always read the classifieds section of the Boy Scout magazine, and salivate…

The Vietnam Visas
In a stunning display of forward thinking, we decided to go to the Vietnamese embassy to get visas. Ideally we would have gotten them for China as well, thus enabling us to take the train all the way through China to Hong Kong, but there wasn’t time for that. We went on Friday. It takes…

Beyond Productivity
A few months ago I wrote about the power of persistence. I think that it was one of my better posts, and I think that adopting the habit of persistence and working hard is one of the most important habits I’ve picked up. Since January I have been tracking my productivity. Besides having a log…
