Porcfest is starting to pick up some steam.  The “population” seems to have doubled in the last 24 hours.  In addition to new campers (and hotelers I suppose) there are also a few new vendors.  I must admit that I am frequenting them a bit less than last year.  I think I might have this…

Glad that’s over. The annual porcfest deluge that is. Rain was in the forecast, but the weather guessers missed big time on the frequency and duration. The few campsites that were swamps are now many. Fortunately we were left out of that group. Other than the weather, it was a great first full day at…

Safely arrived at Porcfest yesterday around noon yesterday.  Setting the over night at Albany was a much better idea than Utica.  Having an actual reservation at an actual hotel was an even better idea. After a little later start that I planned (blocked in by a delivery truck at the hotel), the drive up to…

The Indiegogo campaign for the local restaurant I have been working with launched today.  Its am ambitious goal, but achievable with your help.  If you believe in local business and/or want to support locally source food / farmers then take a look and buy in.  If you want to support us but are light on…

I bought a domain name last night. The confluence of working to help get a local restaurant open, watching the movie Chef, and seeing all the food trucks at Bunbury has triggered my entrepreneurial bug. Hopefully more soon.

Spent father’s day on the road, driving through Ohio, Pensylvania, and New York which was a massive amount of suck. The bright side is my two great kids came along with me so to make up for a suckish Father’s day, I get a whole week camping in New Hampshire with the closest thing I’ve…

Tomorrow is packing day.   Sunday is driving day.  And Monday – Saturday are all chill days.  I’m heading back for the second year to the Porcupine Freedom Festival in New Hampshire which has been put on the last decade+ the Free State Project.  I went last year on a lark and as one, rather famous…

And another one bites the dust (from the “to read” pile).  Admittedly this was a rather short (201 pages) book but I am making progress.  If I can keep up at this pace I will feel OK about setting foot in Half Price Books again by mid-July. The most recent book to make the trip…

Interesting idea.  It’ll really take off when it adds a monetization component, i.e. being able to put money behind certain positions and then allow policy makers to tap that money when they support that position.  Political Kickstarter.  And payment will only be upon receipt.  I think that might be along the lines of what Dan…
