• It’s the Final Countdown

    I have two weeks left in Austin and ten days in Boston. When we first decided to go on the trip six months ago it seemed like it would take forever. Now every day seems to fly by before I can make any progress on my list of stuff-I-must-do-before-I-go. Of course, the one thing I’ve…

  • Miracle Berries

    So… we ate Miracle Berries. I know that sounds like I’m either a druggie or a hippie, but I swear I’m not. Miracle Berries are this crazy fruit from West Africa. They’re bright red, have a large pit in them, and taste a bit like a weak grape. So why eat them? Because they have…

  • Thanks Mom and Dad!

    Last year on Thanksgiving I made a big list of everyone I knew and thanked them each for something. I was going to do this again, but almost all of them would be the same as last year. Instead I’m going to talk about my parents a little bit, since they’ve surely had a bigger…

  • Saturday Delight

    What? Two posts that aren’t over a week apart?! Believe it… A lot of exciting stuff going on over here. First – I have seroiusly neglected my friends and my desire to have fun for the past few months because I’ve been working on an awesome project (Sorry guys, I love you and miss hanging…

  • I’m SO FAMOUS!

    Ok, not really. BUT… there’s a big article about me in the Austin newspaper, the Austin American Statesman. I’m on the front of the XLent section, which is the weekend entertainment section. If you’re not in Austin, you can read it here : XLent. I did the interview last May but it kept getting pushed…

  • Why I Donated to Ron Paul Today… and Why You MUST Too!

    Today I donated money to a politician for the first time in my life. It was only $100, but I expect that I will donate the maximum $2300 soon. Who was the lucky recipient of my somewhat-hard-earned-cash? Ron Paul, of course. Ron Paul is amazing. Unlike every other modern politician I’ve ever heard of, he…

  • The Day the Bus Died

    I told this story the other day and then immediately thought, “Man… that’s a good one for the blog.” As I wrote about in my converted school bus story, my friends and I used to have a school bus. We went on a lot of fantastic trips in it, but those stories will have to…

  • Trendsetter

    About a week ago I woke up and got out of the RV, which I’ve had parked on the same street for the better part of the last five months. To my surprise there was ANOTHER RV in front of mine. It was a lot older, but about the same size. I went to lunch,…

  • Crossfit

    With the vegan diet in full swing for six months now, something occurred to me. It doesn’t make since to be eating a perfect diet (according to my understanding of food) if I’m not physically active. In fact – if I’m going to be physically active, I should be doing the best exercise, right? And…

  • Guerrilla Karaoke

    Bonjour. As you may have read in the past, Doug and I host Karaoke every Wednesday at Firehouse Lounge in Austin, TX. We now also host it at Shakespeare’s on Tuesdays. Tazeroke, which started as a one time event, has now become a weekly event. Yep, we electrocute people every week with an 800k volt…
