Movie Review: About Schmidt
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 [...]

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 [...]

27 May 2009
Making our way from Austin towards St. Louis, we decided to put our Texas State Parks pass to use one more time with a stop for the night at the Martin Creek Lake State Recreation Area. The campground at Martin Creek Lake reminded us of the fabulous McKinney Falls State Park we had stayed at near [...]

25 May 2009
One of our reasons for visiting Texas was to meet up with Cherie’s family at her father’s submarine veterans reunion in San Antonio, and visit her brother in Austin. We decided to stay just a short drive between the two in the scenic town of New Braunfels, at the Landa RV & Campground located right [...]
