One Man’s Attempt at Lifestyle Design and the Quest for the Perfect Virtual Company
Today is my 50th birthday! I tell my wife that, mentally I still feel I’m about 28, and physically, about 35. I have done a lot in my lifetime so far, but the really cool thing is the feeling I have that I can accomplish so much more in the next decade of my life [...]
Something happened yesterday that illustrates four important lessons that I have learned and lived by for a good portion of my life, and I wanted to write about it. First the story, then the lessons… A friend that I follow on twitter is a writer of erotic short stories. Late one night a couple of [...]
Please forgive the detour I took on my blog with this post. Those of you who follow me regularly on Twitter may have noticed my absence for the last few days. The picture above explains it quite nicely (Not a great one of me, but the wife and kids look fantastic). The last couple of [...]
On April 7 of this year, I stepped on the scale and my heart sunk; I was 236 lbs. Factoring in my height, if you calculated my BMI, I was 1/100 point off of the start of obesity. I was the stereotypical couch potato geek, who’s only form of exercise was typing. Why, you may [...]
I am going to address something I read in an online forum this morning. It was written by someone who read through my blog and posted a comment on it. I write this not as a slam on him/her, but because until quite recently, I thought the same thing. The comment that the poster made [...]
I am finally taking a well deserved vacation in Maine, my second “home”. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my parents moved up here after my brother, sister and I moved out and started our separate lives. My parents decided to start fresh as well, so they built a house on a property they [...]
I apologize for the gap, a lot has been going on. First, my wife had it in her head that the hall bathroom needed to be redecorated. So, she tore down all the wallpaper and left the rest to me. She wanted me to re-prep the walls for painting, and re-tile a section of the [...]
(Originally Posted on my WordPress.com Blog, projectnomad.wordpress.com) For a while now, I have wanted to move off of wordpress.com and get my own domain. I would have a lot more freedom to do stuff and, hopefully, eventually find some way of deriving income from the site. The problem was, every time I would look for [...]
The reason I have not posted in so long is that nothing has really changed much. I am not one to really post crap when I have nothing to say, nor do I like being pressured in to having to write every day (or week or..uhhh month)… I have seen some really interesting resources, and [...]
I remember reading something somewhere that all of human behavior derives from two basic tendencies: “seek pleasure” and “avoid pain” or on a more basic level, move towards something, move away from something. Yesterday, I posted a link to Catherine Lawson’s excellent collection of resources for entrepreneurs. She saw it and came to my blog [...]
