Way more of a social life then I originally thought I would have. There is a pretty good sized community of likeminded folks living the same way. We seek each other out via blogs, instagram and facebook and hang out constantly. For new year

Still working and saving a good amount of $$. A developer job that likes me around during normal business hours. So it is a pretty normal existence in that respect. Just a tent camper and when we left I had never towed anything before. We w

I did that via a Nokia back in 1998. There might be a flipphone or two that could still be used in that method. I don't recall having to use any special software.

I've held an 8-4 developer job the last 3 years and hit up 36 different states. Right now I'm chilling at a most peaceful National Forest Campground in eastern Kentucky. http://www.watsonswander.com/assets/201

Most modern campers can't do winter though. I live in a 25' Airstream. The windows and insulation are crap. Living in an Airstream in a Vermont winter would be painful and miserable. But it has wheels, so I head south.

I've lived for 3+ years in a 25' Airstream with my wife. I feel our Airstream is much better laid out then most tiny houses I see. I wouldn't want to do the loft. We love living in a tiny space. We constantly travel though. I

Those would be crap lead acid batteries at $100. I have 500 Ah in 4 AGM batteries that cost me $1200. If all that 835 is usable I'd have to spend $3600 to come close with the same AGM's I'm using now.

The strokeDashOffset trick is a great hack. I used it to animate a route on a US map. http://live.watsonswander.com/

I'd rather be homeless then live in the middle of a gang controlled slum where beatings and killings happen daily.

I've been a (U.S. based) nomad for the last 2 years. I do web development for a company (I'm not freelance) and work a standard 8-4 day. They don't care where I am online from just that I am online and available. I make less

Most of what I listen to on Spotify is not available. It is not that obscure. Mike Pinto, Greensky Bluegrass, The Devil Makes Three, JJ Grey & Mofro, Jack Johnson, Dirty Heads... list goes on.

>>If you think you've been tagged, don't slam your brakes.<< Even better.. if you do see someone ahead of you randomly slam/tap their breaks.. slow down. This has saved me a number of times.

Agreed on both points. Kicking him out seems kind of harsh since it has been his home for decades, but is there a real solution? He can't afford to live there anymore. There are tons of LTVA (Long term visitor areas) in southern CA and

And most of the foods labeled as "Lite" or "Reduced Fat" have more sodium than the original version for taste purposes. Trying to eat healthier by reducing calories can actually up your sodium intake.
