"Don't regret making works of art. It is all that succeeds us when we leave this realm." Good words my man!

Someone should start an endless summer club. Get a group of people together and work for 6 months in San Francisco then go South (Buenos Aires or sth equivalent) when winter comes.

I m a developer in New York. I have a few good engineer friends I met while living in Vietnam. If any of you here happens to have a product that qualifies as a passive income product and need a tech partner let me know.

Your story reminds me of this story. An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complime

A vendor moving from a street stand to a restaurant is essentially what lean startup is. I wrote a post about a coconut man on the steamy sidewalk of saigon here. http://datdiary.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/lean-

Here is a 6min video of the Vietnam reunification express, taken outside Quy Nhon right after Lunar New Year. The slow rhythm. The lush rice paddies. Old houses with people cooking and children playing. Simply magical!

How does a game end up on top 25 for this country and that country upon launch? Is it luck? Are there things I can do to prep?

I noted the OP's blog has a job post for a content manager that states Anywhere,USA. Why limit yourself to USA? I figure if it is remote it should be remote anywhere.

Can I ask what you do (both for consulting and for the friend in HoiAn)? I live in New York now but am thinking of setting up an offshore team in Saigon w/ US based clients so I can travel back and forth.

I saw you mentioned Vietnam a few times in the blog post. Perhaps it will be on your next immersive trip :) I lived there for a few years and for those who have US based business but can work anywhere in the world I highly recommend Saigon.

In part 3 can you talk about how your wife and kids feel about all this? Would love to hear their take on this crazy venture that is startup life

Yes I agree with you. I am Vietnamese American who has bootstrapped a few startups in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) for the past 4 years. The school described by the author is an exception, not the norm.

I have heard of interviewers asking candidates to solve various levels on mobile brainteaser apps. Something like this game https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-kick-pro/id590049769?m... could work well as it involves problem solving ski

Hi Jason, I looked at your business http://www.expatsoftware.com/ why does it have to be " staffed by a number of expatriate Americans."??? Good developers don't depend on citizenships. The world is flat now.

Have you read a book called To sell is human? The author goes in depth on this.

This boils down to your personality, not on external factors like who you are with, where you go or what you do. Are you an extrovert, introvert or ambivert? Figure out who you are then everything will make sense

You can have the best of both worlds. I have an unlocked iphone 4. I pay as I go. I have no data plan. Before I go out I download what I need so I can read it offline (books,videos,articles,podcasts,etc) Google maps works offline so I dont

The same goes w/ NYC. I have been here for a while now and have met so many young girls following Sex in the City dream, which invariably turned out badly.

I dont understand how this is any kind of therapy. If anything all the rejections should make you more adverse to going up and talking to strangers

I suggest you donate all the books and start another business. Keeping a brick and mortar bookstore is an uphill battle and it is better to cut the loss sooner rather than later.

I understand what you mean. It is a social hack but given his situation (aka he is not head of state) I m not sure if there is much else he could have done.
