This AM on CNN there was a piece on a woman who works out of her backpack. It must be strange to traditionalists to see the mobile worker.
I think the old office worker is strange. Life is short. The world is a playground of fascinating sights , sounds, and smells.
If you can figure out how to make a living from your backpack, the possibilities for amazing experiences are endless.
Last day in paradise. Working on the tan thinking about the delicious ceviche awaiting us for lunch.
South Kihei has some fantastic dining. Sarento’s is one of the best. Oceanside, fantastic food. Awesome south swell. I don’t want to leave.
In Paia having apps at the Flatbread company. Reminds me of the Indian village at the New Mexico state fair. Mmmm flatbread.
Following two humpback whales and their calf right now. These guys are big!
Sitting by a beautiful serenity pool, drinking Sam Adams with one on deck, watching the sunset with k-dawg. As she says, “this is the life”.
One of my goals in Hawaii was to buy Maui Jims in Maui. Almost made it but we found a great sunglasses shop yesterday and I caved.
Trip highlight: Hike in Waimea canyon. The Grand Canyon of Hawaii. Unbelievable scenery. The trees in Hawaii are amazing.
Sitting in Kauai airport waiting for flight to Maui. Real glad we didn’t book flight on Aloha Airlines.
Favorite town in Kauai was Kapaa. Town with the best name - Hanapepe. Best street name - Puhi. I’m like 12 years old right now. hehe
Just had loco moco at Eggberts in Kapaa, Kauai. After two hour Bikram yoga class, nothing tastes better. Life is good.
I don’t understand why people block their LinkedIn contacts from view. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of LinkedIn?
Sitting poolside with k-dawn drinking mai-tai’s and plotting how to move here in <5 yrs. Kauai is raw beauty defined.
Hawaii here we come!
rates and fees. Drives me nuts.
It drives me nuts when the best product for a client is FHA and I can’t help the consumer because of FHA’s antiquated standards for approval
FHA is a government program with a mandate to increase homeownership. How does limiting the pool of FHA providers with onerous net worth
requirements protect the consumer? It doesn’t. It limits competition and drives homebuyers into the arms of banks that then charge higher
Yikes, I just told someone to “Go get ‘em tiger”. Where in my brain does that little gem lie-in-waiting for the perfect moment?
Great question: “Do you see a fatigue factor affecting the Rox tomorrow night” - Duh?

Back to Back to Back HR’s in the Braves - Marlins game. Jones, Teixeira, McCann aka murderer’s row.
I enjoy trying to say what I want to say in 140 characters or less. Direct and on-point, good life habit.
just finished setting up domain parking on all my domains registered at GoDaddy. I have something of a domain registering habit.
I wish I could figure out how to get the audio from YouTube, etc. to stream through my airport setup. iTunes streaming to stereo is nice.
Now I want all my computer generated sounds to stream to my stereo, regardless of source. Anybody got a tip on that?
Snowing hard in Summit County. Working on old company accounting. Ugh. Hawaii three days away.
Video syncing on an iPhone takes a very long time.

Did you know that if you pay someone $600+ a year to catch fish that you have to file a 1099-MISC? Fish! Time for a new tax code. Simplify.
About half of the tweets I read that request technical advice can be addressed in three words. Get a Mac.
Thanks to LifeHacker and {gasp} Microsoft, I am now syncing my Firefox profile across all computers. http://tinyurl.com/4jq573
If you use Gmail as your primary mail client and firefox as your browser, get RTM for task management. It simply works.
Monolith Festival looks cool. http://twitpic.com/cke
I have a strange urge to be in a taco eating contest at Taco Bell. I think I could put down at least 40 tacos.
Having beers with SD Wade at the Moosejaw. Local bars rock. Rush is on and the pbr is flowing.
Vista is the last major OS from Windows. We will work in the cloud, mobile, wireless, light, simple. http://tinyurl.com/3rqez8
Comcast Internet out, VoIP out, AT&T cell tower all down at once in Summit Cnty. Backup cell and sprint mobile BB to the rescue. Stealthy.
