Take Over One of My Businesses
So, a few days ago I decided to drop everything and focus on Life Nomadic. I’ve done the focusing, now it’s time to do the dropping. I’m hoping that some or all of my businesses can be taken over by readers. As I’ve met readers over the years I’ve been really impressed with most of…

Bobby Needs Us Again
Remember a month or two ago when Bobby and his converted bus were in the contest and we all voted? Well, as you probably know, he won. We were the force that pushed him over the edge, and he was very thankful for our help. This week is the finals, which determines who actually wins…

The Dip, and How to Figure Out What to Do With Your Life
On the second day that I was visiting her in Toronto, Annie brought back a pile of books from the library. On the top was a tiny book with a cover so simple that it looked like it might be a children’s book about potty training. Then I read the subheader. “A little book that…

The Truth about Project Hollywood
The other day in a moment of distraction I went onto YouTube and watched an old video of Mystery and me. I scrolled down to the comments, which I’m sure the authors never expect the subjects of the video to read. There are, of course, tons of haters bashing all of us. In one clip…

How Attitude Affects Learning
Whenever people link to me it shows up in my stats, so I always go visit the site to see why I got linked. A couple weeks ago I followed back to a site called Sushi and Seduction. The guy who runs the site really has a knack for finding pictures of gorgeous Japanese girls,…

Such a pure and noble meaning, yet it’s been dragged through the mud to connotate seminars in low end hotel conference rooms and people who chant, “I manifest everything for life’s highest purpose”, but live otherwise unremarkable lives. Self improvement has a stigma to it. It’s embarrassing to…

Obama Won, and I Didn’t Even Vote
I already know that this post is going to get a lot of negative comments like the religion one. And that’s because this “every vote counts” dogma that everyone loves so much shares a lot with religion. It’s a belief that’s held true without a single bit of compelling evidence, and it’s a strong belief.…

Solving Non Existent Problems
A few minutes ago I had a great idea. I’ll set up a super backup system. I’ll put a 16gb SD card into my laptop, and then have it automatically back up my projects and photos in the background. Then I’ll also set it to backup certain things to the internet, and even more to…

Fashion
Today I drove past a store that sells guns and gold. A gun can be a lot of things, one of which is the most useful thing in the world,given the wrong situation. Gold is about survival, especially now. If the economy collapses further, as many economists predict, gold may be a safe place to…

Austin State Fair
“Wooohoo! Here we go Charlie! Don’t touch my beer. I can still see it, Charlie!” I don’t realize that I am, in fact, Charlie, until my new drunk friend starts petting my fleece from the seat behind me. We’re hanging upside down on “Kamikaze”, a fair ride that doesn’t quite live up to its name.…
