How Setting Deadlines Help: Writing a Winning App at iOSDevCamp

The past weeks have been a blur of amazing scenery going by at way too quick of  pace (and with way too little bandwidth). It seems every time this part of the year is like this as we transition to be on the west coast for Burning Man.   Before leaving Saint Louis, we found [...]

Our iPhone App Essentials for RV Travel

As Technomads, it should be no surprise that we are mobile technology lovers. We love our iPhones (and yes, we did just both upgrade to the new iPhone 4), and we are growing increasingly addicted to our iPads (yup, we have two).

Living via Solar Power in an RV – FAQ

It seems like every week we get an email or two asking us for more details about our solar RV travel trailer setup, what components we use, what things we run off of solar, and how well being solar powered is working for us overall. We get so many questions that it seems like a good [...]

Technomadic Essentials: Wine-In-A-Box

We have a lot of gear and technology that we consider essential to our technomadic lifestyle. It is hard to imagine traveling like we do without our computers, our iPhones, our solar panels, or our onboard media server. But today I want to at last reveal what we consider to be our most essential piece of onboard equipment. In some ways, it embodies the pinacle of human technological innovation. Nothing we have on board can match the overwhelming utility and versatility of... Wine-In-A-Box!

BEWARE: Mobile Data Roaming = $10k/hr!

Most people know that international roaming charges can be pricey. But few realize just how outrageous these roaming charges can be. But imagine how you would feel if you inadvertently racked up over $10,000 in charges after just an hour or two of web surfing and email while in a foreign country? It happens, even to [...]

Video Edition: STS-130 – Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour

Since Saturday afternoon, we’ve been camped along the Indian River in Titusville, Florida – right off Highway US 1.  We’ve been enjoying a completely awesome nomadic rendezvous with Sean Welsh and Louise Hornor of Our Odyssey as temporary neighbors (it’s our first in person meeting after years of cyber stalking each other around the country.)  We’ll [...]
