Though I’m not an Apple fanboy, I do appreciate what they’ve done. A lot of it came through one guy’s inspiration – Steve Jobs. In a TechCrunch post was this speech he made to a graduating class at Stanford university in 2005. Awesome speech… just wanted to make sure you saw it: “‘You’ve got to [...]

I get in these moods… I don’t give a shit about all 47 projects I have going on. I don’t care about anything much – consistently over time… just the biggies. There are a few of them… My daughter, son, wife, family back in the USA, and this pure-shit experience somebody named, “life”. The way [...]

We got an email a minute ago. I don’t know what to respond back. I’ll come up with something – it’s not a question of “if”. I will come up with something… but I thought by writing here first I’d figure out what the hell I’ll say… The email (identifying bits removed)… Dear Mike.  Thank [...]

I found some Youtube videos about what some people wished they saw as the last thing before they died. I asked myself the question. It came immediately to mind… I want to see god – in whatever form it exists, if any, kneeling on both knees and facing me. Behind god is a large pool [...]

There are some challenging foods to eat in Thailand. I started a “Gross Grub” Series on Youtube in which I eat all sorts of things. I met my match yesterday. I’d put off making the video of me eating this pink egg, “Horse Piss Egg” Thais call it… because I thought maybe I’d finally met [...]

I love riding the motorbike. When given the chance between the bike or the car – I’ll take the bike if at all possible. Over the past 36 hours I blew down to a shaky border crossing in Malaysia, and then back in time for a quick cruise of Makro (like Thailand’s Sam’s club) where [...]

I went vegetarian a while back. I hadn’t made any conscious decision to do it – it just happened as I slowly cut down on meat, and then eliminated it totally. I remember thinking – it’s been 2 months since I had any meat. It was about 6 years after that when I tried eating [...]

I’m glad to never have been addicted to anything, except exercise and learning. Drugs? Never got into them. Alcohol? Got into it for brief spurts. These days I have a beer every couple of days and I’m fine. One of these 22 ounce Thai beers at 5% alcohol put me right where I need to [...]

Over the past 4 years I’ve climbed vertically the entire 30,000 feet height of Mount Everest over 23 times. Put another way, I’ve climbed 130+ miles vertically in 4 years. What I’m talking about is steps I climb up a mountain here in Thailand. I’ve averaged 200 times to the top per year over 4 [...]

This was a great TedTalks video, and I have to share it with you. Probably the best one I’ve seen. Simple. Meaningful. And, quite in line with the way I already live my life… but it was great to hear this guy say what was the most important thing in life. He was 100% convinced. [...]

There is nothing exciting to me about the prospect of dying in a car or motorcycle crash. I ride a motorcycle daily, and at times it’s dangerous – but, I can’t really see myself dying that way. A lot would need to go wrong in order to have a crash so horrific that I’m laying [...]

Apparently this lady is all over YouTube and the world. She has like 300,000,000 views just for one of her videos! That’s sick! I have seen her name over the last few years I’ve been in Thailand – but, like anything in the mainstream media – her name never occupied my head for more than [...]
