My desire to live life as a technomad isn’t new – the idea of combining technology and travel has been an active dream of mine for as long as I can remember. Those dreams solidified one night in the early 90’s when I stumbled across the website and writings of Steve Roberts – the original […]

Note: This post originally written on 9/10/2010 and updated on 9/20/2011 to reflect current information. One of the most common things we get asked about is for advice on staying connected to the net while on the road.

The “Time Frame” at Burning Man 2010
This year for Burning Man I pitched an art project idea to the Center Camp Cafe art team, and was accepted! My project is called “Time Frame”. The “Time Frame” is a classic antique table-top mirror, with the mirror removed, mounted on top of a 5 foot tall self-supporting pole. Looking through the frame gives […]
Nomadic Fitness Solution – Running!
Staying fit can be a challenge for us nomadic types, faced with small living spaces, a lack of equipment, and an ever-changing environment. It is hard to have any sort of fitness routine when there is essentially nothing routine about your day-to-day life. Bikes just weren’t worth it For our first couple years on the […]
Documentary Review: Ice Blink
Back in February, Cherie and I did some dreaming around taking the next phase of our technomadic wanderings out to sea. We went to the Miami International Boat Show, picked the brains of some great sailing nomads, and worked on defining what we wanted in our ideal floating home. Noticing our interest, my mom (thank […]
Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
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 – […]
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.

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 […]
Ripples of Serendipity
Cherie and I get emails all the time from people who want to meet us while we are passing through their area. Some great connections and conversations have come about via “meeting our fans”, and only rarely have we had any awkward and/or boring encounters. Meeting so many and such diverse cool people is one […]
Boat Wanted
Only a week ago, the thought of Cherie and I sailing off into the sunset was a “certainly, but someday” sort of thing. But after spending some time at the Miami International Boat Show & Strictly Sailing event, the idea of relocating at least part of the year onto a liveaboard is starting to seem […]
