A few months ago I wrote a post asking for advice regarding a long road trip over the west coast, and got a great response from this community. Several people asked me if I would write about it. I started driving last Saturday. This is my s

Hey, question for you: can you say approximately where are you in Mexico? I started looking at the Baja, like Cabo, but got very quickly turned off by many stories of violence/robberies against Americans.

This article comes at a particularly opportune time for me. A site I'd built for a client was sued by Channel Intelligence in their mass filing last week (TechCrunch covered it) for their revolutionary and genius idea of "configuring a data

Can I ask which changes were necessary to get through Hotmail? Gmail isn't a problem, but Hotmail occasionally is for us. (Same situation - registration confirmation, etc.)

I'm not trying to flame you, but in what usage of the word can you call yourself an entrepreneur?

Noted. And I do agree with your original point; look around your neighborhood at 10 different small local businesses. Dry-cleaning, carpet-cleaning, etc. Services. Products are sold by Wal-Mart and Home Depot and Gap. There's no question th

No, absolutely, that would be stage 1 of the let-us-share-an-office plan. And I think that would be awesome ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=232235 ). This post was more "how far could we take it?", but the model you brought up would d

Big 4 accounting? H&R Block? I see your point, but there are companies who have made it work. And even for product-based businesses, only an extremely small percentage sell goods that can be duplicated for free infinitely. Amazon is doi

Hey, that link is pretty awesome; I had not seen that before. I'll be passing through Seattle circa September, so send an email to samstrip at gmail and I'll get in touch. SF as a final destination is not set in stone by any means, I just f

I didn't have a problem with the phrase "ton of paper". I just picked that example because I thought the two clauses of the sentence didn't fit together well and the double use of the word "paper" was jarring. Maybe, "Gregory's cluttered be

Agreed. It was interesting , and I read the whole thing for some reason, but I don't think the writing was that good. "Gregory’s bedroom is filled with paper; it contains at least a ton of paper."

That's the first thing that popped into my head when I read that sentence. Hey, me too! Male, male, male, male, male. 4/5 correct. I'm a genius. 70% to 80% of the time I can also guess whether a date in history was a weekday, whether the st

Thanks for all the recommendations, that's awesome. I've had a few people suggest that I have to see L.A. if I'm in the area. From my research, Sprint EVDO just added a cap very recently, or is planning on it...you might be grandfathered in

Wow. Add that to my list of international places to visit. How many people speak at least a little English in the cities over there?

Awesome post dude, thanks for all the details. That's exactly what I'm looking for. No McDonald's for me, I want to see what's out there...

Thanks man, I've heard a lot of great things about Vancouver here. Hope to look you up.

Cool, a lot of people have mentioned trying to see the smaller towns. What makes you not like San Diego? I think the weather would be much better than SF.

I might do that, thanks!

Cool, I have been to the Grand Canyon, but it's been, oh, 15 years. VRBO.com looks nice but kinda pricey. Where are you in SC?

Hey, I have thought about a truck camper (seems like ~$5000) but I've never really been in an RV park so I didn't know what to make of it. (Showers? Toilets?) Big Sur has been mentioned to me a few times.
