You know when you tell your story to five people in just a few hours? You know, the story about leaving NYC on a bike with some clothes and a laptop. And riding across NJ. Climbing mountains to Somerset, PA. Biking in Columbus, OH. Riding through the French Quarters in New Orleans, LA. The big “bike social” in Austin, TX with 300 people, then watching the...
INTERVIEW
I’ve got a job interview with Bicycling Magazine this afternoon.
”Adversity can send you south or make you forge together and be stronger.”

Stress, stress, stress. What’s the breaking point?
I know the best way to get through a writers block is to write. Yet I’ve probably started this a thousand times. I’ll write a hundred words, select all, and delete. I’ll write a hundred more, and set it on fire.
When I was 18 or so, I remember getting in my Mercury Zephyr and driving across the state of PA, from...

Half-Asleep Thinking
The people I stay with during my travels have their own lives, filled with jobs and errands and routines. Most mornings I wake up and find the whole house to myself.
Some mornings I wake up and hear people. Then fear sets in.
“Wait,” I’ll say to myself. “I thought my friends were at work?”
That’s when my mind, half-asleep, starts to race.
What if those...

When I used to live in Brooklyn I would see this musician, playing on the subway platform. It’s pretty common, but this person had some passion. I remember one time seeing across the tracks, and about 15’ down, was a women listening intently, with her hands to her mouth. She was spell bound. When he finished a song, she clapped. An entire train system of people not giving a damn, but...

The More I Use Instagram, the More I Have to Use...
I usually end up following some new people. “Liking” photos. Leaving some comments.
In return, some friends and complete strangers comment on my photos. And this attracts more strangers, and more friends. And now with Instagram on the Android platform, the circle gets bigger.
With any free app, Â ”If you are not paying for it, you’re not the customer; you’re the...
UPDATE: those good vibes and assorted cyber winks were for a phone interview for a job in PA. I’m in KY right now. Will hear something this friday, which is good, being as I need steady income these days.
Prayers / good vibes / punches to the ear / high fives would be appreciated right now.. Please reply to this post so I can smile and punch today in the face with two fists. Thanks.

Kill The Blockbuster
“I want to challenge you to forget about the Hollywood dream of huge rounds of funding and giant acquisitions, and instead focus on building something you’re proud of. I think you’ll find that the joy of doing something you love, and the freedom to control the vision to be uniquely yours, is worth much more.”

When to Care
Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it’s not that I’m lazy, it’s that I just don’t care.
Those are wise words, spoken by Peter Gibbons from the movie ‘Office Space.’ He cares when he has to, but after that it’s onto the next thing. After all, what does he get if he “cares more?” Nothing.
I don’t live a carefree life. I care quite a bit....

Over time, our digital footprints add up and create a cyber world that starts to take on some of that very same messiness. Change a font or a layout or where something is, and it bothers us. You can take advantage of that need for comfort by making your digital work a little less sterile, a bit less squared off. Seth Godin

Sweat and Grime
I was interviewed by Tim Harcourt-Powell, for his blog Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.
Sure, I’ll be 36 soon and should really “get my act together” and “get a real job,” but for all I know I could die at 37, and now, at least I have a bunch of cool robots that I drew, new friends I’ve made in different cities, and seen more of America than many of my...
