2010 Survey Results
After a long day in the sun at the 2010 Crossfit Games in LA, I’ve flopped into my Aeron in the RV, which is parked near my old stomping grounds in Hollywood. I found an amazing parking spot right near the Farmer’s Market that has no street cleaning and is always empty at night. You’d…

Custom Food Bars and Cooking in the Airport
Twice a month I stray from my superlatively healthy diet and eat anything, no holds barred. A week or two ago I ate a couple slices of deep dish Chicago pizza with bacon and all sorts of nonsense on it. The idea behind this is that once in a while, usually while travelling, I find…

Why I Don’t Buy Apple Products
This won’t quite be the Apple bashing that people probably expect. To start off, I don’t hate Apple. I think that they’re a spectacular company that does a lot of very smart things. I think that they build relatively high quality products and do a good job of supporting them. Even if I don’t buy…

Not Following Through
There’s been a lot of chatter on the comments recently about me not following through, most of it deserved. Throughout my life one of my struggles has been to focus on one thing and follow it through. I used to be totally incapable of it, but over the years have gotten better. There are a…

Quitting BTYB?
Maybe by definition, but not in spirit. I’ve been thinking a lot about BTYB / LN over the past couple weeks, which lead to the survey from yesterday (please take a minute to fill it out if you haven’t already). Tonight I had a conversation about all this with Carl Zetterlund, a long time reader…

Better Procrastinating
I have a big project I’m working on (secret for now, haven’t decided if I should write about it yet or not), and I’ve been seriously procrastinating. It’s not that I don’t want to do it. It’s something I arrived at myself, is very inline with my Life Nomadic goals, and will be very exciting…

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…
