Cherie grew up in Austin, and her brother and his wife live there today. It is a cool town, and a place we will want to return to often in our travels. Camping near a major urban area is always a challenge, but in McKinney Falls State Park we have discovered a great place to […]
Sprint SmartView “Upgrade” Downgrades Sharing
The newly released Sprint SmartView 2.22 driver upgrade came with no release notes and no apparant new features, but once you install it Sprint has the gall to actively prevents you from using the built in connection sharing feature in Mac OS X.

Campground Review: Mather Campground @ Grand Canyon National Park
At the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, there are two choices for camping – the beautifully wooded Mather Campground, or the crowded parking lot known as Trailer Village.
Campground Review: Cottonwood @ Joshua Tree National Park
Passing through Joshua Tree National Park, we spent the night at the Cottonwood Campground near the park’s south entrance. This is the closest campground inside Joshua Tree to Interstate 10. There are no hookups at Cottonwood, but there are nice flush toilets, and an RV dump station is available. All of the sites are spread […]
The Road Ahead: New Mexico, Texas, and Beyond…
We are currently planning to spend one more night here at the Grand Canyon. Then, onward towards New Mexico, Texas, and beyond…
Blog Upgrade: Subscribe To Comments
One of the things that I have always loved about blogging on LiveJournal is that it lets you know via email when someone has replied to any comments or blog posts that you make. This email notification encourages blog postings to turn into actual two-way (or three-way, or more-way) conversations in a way that other blogging platforms have never equalled.
In an attempt to bring some of this sort of interactivity to Tales from Technomadia, I have just installed and configured the Subscribe to Comments WordPress plugin.
Campground Review: Thornhill Broome Beach Campground
This campground offers parallel style parking for RVs and/or tent camping right along Route 1, and right along the beach. There are no hook-ups, so RVers should come prepared with a full battery and water tanks (although, there is fresh water available). Sheltered porta-potties are provided. The camping fee was just $15/night, and for us – it was a perfect way to spend sometime along the ocean.
Three Years Nomadic

I set off without a clear plan, other than that I wanted to explore making nomadism a fulfilling life, and not a “trip” with some particular destination or end-point in mind. {More…}
Late Night GeoWanking in Lompoc, CA
One of the thing that we’ve been most wanting to incorporate into our blog posting has been maps.
After a lot of late night experimentation with a lot of Word Press plugins of (ahem) varying quality, I think I am at last happy with the results I am getting from the Wordpress Geo Mashup plugin. See what the maps look like…
Movie Review: Into the Wild
Into the Wild tells the true story of Christopher McCandless and his tragic quest to challenge himself and rebel against modern society by journeying alone and almost entirely unprepared into the deep Alaskan wilderness in the summer of 1992. There is a lot I admire about Chris. He went to extremes to break free from […]
