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
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…

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…

Outliers
I just finished Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers. I always like reading Gladwell’s books, but mainly as entertainment. It’s that sort of smart writing that makes you feel like you’re learning something important, even though the main purpose of the book is for entertainment. Still, with any book I read I generally try to come up…

Make Her Chase You is Now a Paperback
I’ve finally finished making Make Her Chase You into a paperback. I’ve been selling it as an ebook for the past year and a half or so and refining it and adding to it. After one last edit I finally felt like it was good enough to be put into a permanent format. I also…
