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). We consider both of these fine pieces of technology to be essential components of [...]
Continue reading...Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
20 May 2010
For literally years now, I have been craving a more capable camera. I’ve managed to do some amazing and artistic things with small but advanced pocket cameras like the Canon SX110IS that we relied on throughout most of 2009, but I continuously found myself pushing the edges of what small cameras were capable of – particularly [...]
Continue reading...Movie Review: About Schmidt
5 February 2010
Presumably because it prominently features an RV, I have had a few people mention About Schmidt to me over the past few years as a movie I might like. Knowing only that About Schmidt was about a retired Jack Nicholson taking a road trip across country in an RV, I had somehow ended up with [...]

24 July 2009
In May I took a close look at the MacBook 12v power supplies offered by Mikegyver.com – and at first I came away extremely impressed. To recap, here are some quotes from our initial review: One particular frustration that has vexed me for over three years now is that there is no “official” way to power any [...]

18 July 2009
Working our way down the Mississippi from St. Louis towards Tennessee, we were hoping to find a scenic spot along the river to stop for two nights. We struck gold when we stumbled into Kentucky’s Columbus Belmont State Park just before sunset. The view looking west from high up on the bluffs overlooking Mississippi River [...]

10 July 2009
Though we normally rely on our 200 watt solar system for power, one of the essentials in our technomadic toolbox is our small Honda EU2000 generator that has been modified to run off of propane. We rely on this generator to top off our batteries when the solar is not able to keep up due [...]

7 July 2009
After our stay at Hot Spring National Park, we headed north following the beautifully scenic highway 7 through the Ozarks. Once the sun set though, the road wasn’t nearly so scenic. We saw a road sign indicating a campground in the woods off to our left, so we headed down a dark dirt road in search [...]

7 July 2009
We journeyed to Hohenwald Tennessee in May to visit the Oliver Factory to handle a few issues with our trailer. Afterwards, we wanted to find a nice place to camp where we could put down roots for an entire week to get caught up on projects and just spend some time enjoying being at home. The [...]

22 June 2009
For those who haven’t known me for a while, you may not know that before going nomadic I used to be the Director of Competitive Analysis for Palm (the maker of the Pilot, Tungsten, and Treo) and PalmSource (the Palm OS operating system spinoff). It used to be my job to literally dissect every [...]
Continue reading...Campground Review: Gulpha Gorge @ Hot Springs National Park
28 May 2009
Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, AR is one of the most unusual National Parks in the nation. First off, it is the smallest National Park, by far. And secondly – rather than the usual focus on preserving natural features – most of the hot springs here have been thoroughly developed, and the primary attraction [...]
