Utility on Investment
The thing about investing money is that it’s pretty hard for an individual to do much better than 5-15% per year consistently, depending on your risk tolerance and connections (my best investments have been putting money to work with friends’ businesses). Five to fifteen percent is pretty good, but it’s inside-the-box thinking to stop there.…

Looking For a Coach? I’m Taking on Two More Clients
A little over a year ago a reader bought enough copies of Superhuman Social Skills to get a free one-hour coaching call. The call went well and I could tell that she was serious about making change. I hadn’t considered doing coaching on an ongoing basis, but she asked and offered me enough to make…

Want to Buy my RV? It’s for Sale (With a Parking Spot)
EDIT: The RV is sold, pending receipt of payment. If anything changes I will email everyone back and update this post, but I would assume it’s not available. The new buyer also has a tricked out Rialta and I will share a link to if he decides to sell it. I’ve kicked this decision down…

Viszontlátásra 2016
And just like that another year has passed! Every year of my life has been better than the last. I used to believe that this was a nearly universal experience, as every year you should become smarter, learn from your mistakes, build on your successes, deepen your relationships, etc. But I talked to some people…

How and Why to Switch to Linux
I switched to Linux a few years ago. Four, I think. It wasn’t my first time— I remember driving with my friend Phil to pick up a Slackware Linux CD in 1997, being very excited about how different it was, and then switching back to Windows a couple weeks later when I wanted my computer…

The 2017 Gear Post
And now it’s time for the one post per year about which people bug me for months: the 2017 gear post. I realized that a lot of non-subscribers read this post every year, so I thought I’d drop a little background for context. I’ve been more or less a nomad since 2008, and was one…

Being Positive
It begins with a basic acceptance that we will never really understand what’s going on around us. We’ll be wrong all the time, and oblivious even more frequently. It may feel as though we understand ourselves and our world around us, but the number of times we are wrong or surprised illustrates how little we…
