• The Privilege of Blogging

    I think a lot can be changed just by looking at something from a different angle. A friend mentioned that this blog has been quiet a while. Yeah, I told him, I’ve been working on Life Nomadic. That’s part of it, but it’s not everything. Sometimes I’m struck with inspiration and can’t wait to get…

  • Daily 15 Has Been Taken Over!

    Hey guys. The first site, Daily 15, has been taken over since I decided to focus one one project. The guy taking it over is named Murphy, a long time reader and Forum member. I chose him because he is really excited about the project, has a lot good ideas for it, and is really…

  • Checking In

    Hey. I know it’s been over a week since I posted last, and I’m sorry about that. This is going to be a disappointing post, and I’m sorry about that too. Life Nomadic has, as planned, become my full time focus. It’s not that I don’t have time to write, but I’m currently writing tons…

  • Learning Kanji in Two Months

    Learning Kanji in Two Months

    I was so close to the end today that I had to push through and finish. My schedule is normally 35 new Kanji per day, but today I did 78. And what a sweet victory it is. As I mentioned earlier, Emergency from Sushi and Seduction had a great post on learning Kanji in two…

  • My 2009.1 Goals

    That’s not a typo. I just read over the last couple years of goal posts and realized something,I need to be working on my goals in smaller chunks because my life changes too quickly for yearlong goals. As one guy said in the comments last year, I sorta suck at goal setting. So this year…

  • Every Day is Equal

    Yesterday was Christmas. I spent it in New Jersey with my parents, sister, aunt, uncle, and three of my cousins. We played board games (Scattergories!), ate Christmas dinner together, and I “helped” my cousins play with their new toys they got for Christmas. And then, in between those events, I did two hours of Japanese…

    The Books are Here

    If you ordered a book, it will be shipped tomorrow morning. If you didn’t order one, then you can buy them on Amazon now. Thanks a lot to everyone who ordered,I hope you enjoy your book! Here’s a picture I took before packaging them up (and spending forever signing them and writing on the envelopes).…

  • Notes from Seth Godin’s Site

    My sleep schedule is unusual. I generally go to bed an hour later each day until finally I’m going to bed way too late and I end up just staying up a full 36 hours or so to reset the schedule. And that’s where I’m at now. So to fill my day and keep myself…

  • Waiting for the Perfect Moment

    Everyone’s waiting for the right time for something. The right time to quit their job, the right time to ask her out, the right time to travel, or the right time to start a new project. In a little over a week I leave Austin until June. I have a LOT to do. More than…

  • My First TV Interview!

    I had the foresight to go to bed early last night so that I’d be well rested for my interview. Then I stayed up until about five am tossing and turning, imagining her questions, and answering them. “Well, Jenny…” When my alarm went off at 8 I bolted up. I drank some delicious acerola cherry…
