My Insane Phone System
(For those RSS readers who didn’t check out the comments on yesterday’s post,yes, it was an April Fools day hoax.) As you probably know, when I get into anything I take it to an extreme and often unreasonable level. Now my phone is no exception. I already had a pretty cool phone setup. I ported…

Quitting Life Nomadic
As you may have guessed from the title, I am no longer going to be doing Life Nomadic. I’m in the Dominican Republic now, and will leave as soon as I can find a decent ticket back to Austin. I might go to Haiti first, since I’m already over here, but I’m not sure yet.…

Florida Auto Brokers is Dishonest
EDIT 9/7/2011: The owner of Florida Auto Brokers has paid the amount owed in full. In return, I am removing his name and his salesman’s last name. Hey guys. I don’t think this post will interest too many frequent readers, but I’m sharing it because I’m ranked very highly in search engines and I’d like…

Hardcore Personal Finance
One thing leads to another. I screwed up my 2007 tax return and got audited (not a big scary one, just a “fix this or pay us” notice), which motivated me to go overboard and learn everything there is about taxes, as they relate to my finances. I then started a rudimentary expenses sheet in…

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…

The Two People I’ve Gotten Fired (Part One)
I don’t think I’m some sort of bigshot who gets people fired because they look at me wrong. Really, I tend to make friends with most people. But there have been two incidents. Incident #1 I was on a cruise ship for two weeks, heading around the Caribbean with three friends. The worst part about…

The State of Life Nomadic
Here’s what’s going on with Life Nomadic. The site still isn’t ready, but it’s getting close. I also said that it was close a month ago, so take that with a grain of salt. The primary delay is that the site is being coded by hand from scratch. It’s not built on wordpress, drupal, or…

RIP My Hat, 2005-2009
That thing served me well, and I hate to see it go. Todd, Vince, and I have been on the Pan Panamerican Road Trip for the past two weeks or so. We’ve been spending a lot of time in the Panamanian Highlands, where it’s unbelievably windy. After chasing the hat down the road a couple…

Finding your Passion
You should spend your life doing something you’re passionate about, right? Everyone agrees with this, but tons of people have trouble figuring out exactly what their passion is. It seems like the kind of thing that should be glaringly obvious, but for some reason it just isn’t. I think a big part of the problem…

My Interview on Sirius and XM
I posted that I was going to be on the radio last minute, so here’s the audio for those of you who didn’t have the chance to listen in. But first, a big thank you to everyone there, especially Jordan Harbinger and Josh. I had a great time being on the show. You can check…
