Judging
A couple weeks ago I was waiting at the bus stop to go to the airport. A two businessmen were joking around on the bench. I stood nearby, practicing Japanese on my phone. One of them gave up on the late bus after a while so I started talking to the other one. He was…

My Sites Will Be in Good Hands
Ever since my last post e-mails have poured in and I probably have about 4-5 solid contenders for each site. A lot of people have mentioned recently how much they like Best in the Land. The good news is that it will definitely be started up again soon, as will Daily 15. The only bad…

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…

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

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,…

Why I Love Self Improvement
Self Improvement is a beaten up term. 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…
