I NEED YOUR HELP!! Last Week for Voting!
This is the final push. You’ve probably seen the little black square on the side of my site for the last few months. They announce the winners on October 16, which means there is only one week left for voting. If you enjoy my site and what I’m doing, please take 30 seconds to vote …
Candid Camera
I’ve picked a camera. I’m going with the Nikon D200. I hope to purchase it later this week. The choice really boiled down to one thing and one thing only. GPS integration. I’m not that sophisticated in photography to know the ins and outs of various camera settings, so the performance wasn’t that big of …
Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance in Pascual
Oh man, today has been a winner. 1) As stated before, the one ATM on the island doesnt take my ATM card. 2) VERY few places here take credit cards. 3) I can´t convert any of my Pacific Francs (XPF) anywhere on the island. Most of my cash was in that form. You can see, …

Exit, Stage East
I leave Dili for Darwin in a few hours. While I haven’t spent much time here in East Timor, the experience has been very eye opening. I spent yesterday walking the streets of Dili taking video. I happened upon a demonstration by a local martial arts club (aka gang). Once I get settled in Australia, …
Everything Everywhere Rewind: Hawaii and Australia
Most of my readers haven’t been following me since the start of my trip. What I’m going to try to do is periodic updates where I can share some of the things I was doing/seeing one and two years ago, in late April of 2007 and 2008. It also gives me a good excuse to …
