As some may have noticed by reading between the lines, this past year some aspects of our RV-based nomadic lifestyle began to wear a bit thin for us. After four years (five for Chris!) on the road together, our ping-pong route between Florida, St. Louis, Burning Man, and San Francisco had begun to develop ruts, […]
Life on the Road
Our St. John Cost of Living
While Chris and I don’t stress about trying to follow a budget (our life is too variable!), a data geek like me enjoys tracking expenses and analyzing trends. We have a cost log published going back a couple years, and we know that many people have found it valuable to get a real-world example of […]
A Day on St. Thomas
Last week we decided it was time to have an adventure off of St. John, and headed over to St. Thomas. There are people and car ferries that run just about every hour between Cruz Bay (the more populated side of St. John) and St. Thomas. It was also time for us to do a […]
Financial Realities of eProducts
This past year we have been experimenting with selling electronically distributed products, namely our iOS applications ‘State Lines‘ and ‘Coverage?‘, and our ‘Answers to Common Excuses‘ eBook. We thought it would be interesting to share the hard numbers behind these roll-outs, because there isn’t a lot of real-world publicly available data showing the realities of […]
Bad Boys House Ruins – St. John, USVI
We’ve been enjoying exploring many of the hiking trails and ruins from the sugar plantation days of St. John, and over the weekend we took the Johnny Horn Trail from Coral Bay over to Leinster Bay. This trail quickly ascends straight up over an island hill, with nearly 500 ft in rapid elevation gain. Definitely […]
Technomadia – The People of 2010
The thing that stands out the most for us about 2010 was the amazing number of people we had the pleasure of meeting up with. Friends, old and new, and family. The best way to summarize it is with photos. We’re so very blessed to have you along for the adventure. Thank you for helping […]
Happy Holidays from Technomadia
It’s been difficult to remember that it’s the holiday season here in the Virgin Islands. Heck, it’s hard to remember it’s winter here. The weather has been pretty much a constant mid 80s during the day and upper 70s at night (and up in our little mountain cottage, it’s pretty much mid-70s all the time). […]
Introducing: Coverage? for iPhone & iPad
\ We are beyond excited to present our newest iPhone/iPad app: Coverage? Coverage provides an at-a-glance “universal” coverage map by interactively overlaying the coverage maps from the four major nationwide US cellular providers. We came up for the idea last summer when we set up camp in a beautiful field of wildflowers along the continental […]
Technomadic Dreams – Vintage 1996
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 […]
Sharing some St. John Warmth
Chances are, that most folks reading this are waking up to some awfully darn chilly weather. So, we’ll do our part to help spread the warmth from our tropical island life. Enjoy! Trunk Bay – St. John’s most famous beach – as seen from the Peace Hill hiking trail. Rated as one of the top […]
