I am a huge proponent of using the "no plan is the best plan" life strategy as a means of lazily masking my unwillingness to engage in thinking about the future. So far so good. That said, I find predicting my plan for the year less an exercise in preparation and more a tool for me to look back
2018: What The Hell Did I Do?
Congratulations! It's the third week of 2019 (goes fast, huh?) and we're all still here. I wonder if we'll be able to say the same thing after our next solar revolution. But does that mean that the sun is doing the revolution or that we're doing the revolution? I hope the latter; maybe it's just
2018: What’s On The Agenda
Now that we're well on our way on another journey around the sun (or at least that's what the scientists tell us - have you personally really ever observed any direct evidence of this? Think about it...), it's time to take a closer look at what to expect in the year ahead. For the first time in a
2017: What The Hell Did I Do?
Well done, friends. We've managed to make it to the end of 2017. Only three more years until the nightmare ends. A lot of things happened in the past 365 days: a man was found in a 7-meter long reticulated python in Indonesia, some awesome women played a soccer match on top of Mount Kilimanjaro,
Post-CDT Update – The Way Forward
Long time no see, eh? Yes, *SPOILER ALERT* I survived (and completed) the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). It's true, it's been a while now since any new posts went up on the blog, but I have my reasons and I promise to make it up to you (and yes, I'm mostly talking to my Nana - Hi
2017: What’s On The Agenda
After making it this far into the year, I think we can safely say that the world's not going anywhere (yet). At the end of 2016 I found myself wondering where I was mentally at the beginning of last year. What were my goals? What did I imagine happening? Who was I? As fast as the years may
2016: What The Hell Did I Do?
Well done, gang. We've managed to make it to the end of 2016. Let's all try a little bit harder on this next revolution. So what have I been up to the past 365 366 days whilst hurtling through space at 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec)? Quite a bit, it turns out. I celebrated the start of this
2015: What The Hell Did I Do?
Congratulations! If you're reading this, then we've successfully made it another year as a species. Go us. So what did I manage to accomplish with the previous 365 days of my ride on this celestial merry-go-round of uncertainty? This year I was based in Japan, as I tried my hand at exploiting
Dear Internet, You Have A Problem
You may or may not be aware of this already, but the websites you visit know a lot of information about you just from your computer. (Some even take your picture! No, not really. But maybe? Mine does at least. Looking good, stranger.) Thanks to the miracle that is technology, I can see what pages
