It’s strange to write this, but I’m into my final week of Bali for the year. Next week I fly back to Puerto Rico (via stopping in Moscow which sounds cool), and back to normal-ish life. I’ve spent just over 3 months in Bali this year, broken up into two trips. It feels like a …
Nusa Penida and YouTube Tip
I’m back in Bali after a weekend trip to a nearby island for my girlfriend’s birthday, Nusa Penida. I left my computer at home Friday-Sunday, and was happy to see that none of my trading programs malfunctioned (I did put strong safeguards to ensure they wouldn’t), and even made a little money without me looking …
Getting Motivated Again
I’m sitting in a coffee shop (Machinery) here in Bali with a humidity and espresso induced glaze on my forehead, and feeling pretty good. I’ve been a bit demotivated to blog lately, but I spent the last few days reading which always helps. How do people blog on a daily basis? It’s really hard …
Made it to Bali
Sorry for missing the previous week! I always underestimate the effects of traveling to and from this corner of the world. I planned to pen this blog last Monday in the airport, but as often happens I was rushed, tired, and I didn’t arrive in Bali until the following evening. From there I was jet-lagged …
Back to Work
I’m sitting in a tech-focused office in Stockholm, finally at the point of being unproductive in my apartment. When I first arrived a few weeks ago everything was new, and I could easily labor for hours at home. I still put in decent hours last week between the apartment and coffee shops, but I got …
A Good Week in Stockholm
It’s been a chilly, but beautiful week here in Stockholm. The conditions have been alternating between Fall and Spring, and that weather is something I haven’t experienced in a while. Coming from a daily 90 degrees in Puerto Rico it’s amazing to wear a light jacket. I’m staying in the hipster area of the city, …
A Few Recommendations
Welcome to my now consistently late blog posting. I had this fantasy that I would do it every Sunday, but I often find that I just want to relax and read to finish the week. Monday is the one day of the week where I’m good about productivity, and it’s nice to get my week …
Random Week
Welcome back to the weekly addition of me twiddling my thumbs in Puerto Rico. Next week I head to New York City for the first time in a few years (not including airport layovers), and I’m looking forward to a trip report with my current Andrew 5.0 perspective on things. After that, I only have …
Thoughts on Structuring a Nomadic Year
It’s been a muggy and rainy week in Puerto Rico, but it helped me with my regret of not spending more time at the beach. I did discover some new restaurants, had a bit of wine, a new beach, and I remain surprised at how many interesting things in San Juan there are that I …
Week in Montreal
It’s Sunday and I’m live from Montreal, Canada. I’m sitting in a cool co-working space called Crew Collective, which converted it’s space from a beautiful old school bank building. It reminds me of some of the opulent financial buildings I used to walk through in Chicago, except this one is actually meant to lounge in. …
