Our iPhone App Essentials for RV Travel
March 6, 2013: We have a big update to this post – check it out at Our iPhone & iPad App Essentials for RV Travel! As Technomads, it should be no surprise that we are mobile technology lovers. We love our iPhones (and yes, we did just both upgrade to the new iPhone 4), and we […]
Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
For literally years now, I have been craving a more capable camera. I’ve managed to do some amazing and artistic things with small but advanced pocket cameras like the Canon SX110IS that we relied on throughout most of 2009, but I continuously found myself pushing the edges of what small cameras were capable of – […]
Movie Review: About Schmidt
Presumably because it prominently features an RV, I have had a few people mention About Schmidt to me over the past few years as a movie I might like. Knowing only that About Schmidt was about a retired Jack Nicholson taking a road trip across country in an RV, I had somehow ended up with […]
Mikegyver Revisited: iGo vs Kensington MacBook 12v Power
In May I took a close look at the MacBook 12v power supplies offered by Mikegyver.com – and at first I came away extremely impressed. To recap, here are some quotes from our initial review: One particular frustration that has vexed me for over three years now is that there is no ”official” way to […]
Campground Review: Columbus Belmont State Park, Kentucky

We struck gold when we stumbled into Kentucky’s Columbus Belmont State Park just before sunset. The view looking west from high up on the bluffs overlooking Mississippi River […]
Propane Powered Generator – Honda EU2000i + Propane Conversion Kit

[wp_campaign_3] We rely on this generator to top off our batteries when the solar is not able to keep up due […]
Campground Review: Erbie Campground @ Buffalo National River, Arkansas
After our stay at Hot Spring National Park, we headed north following the beautifully scenic highway 7 through the Ozarks. Once the sun set though, the road wasn’t nearly so scenic. We saw a road sign indicating a campground in the woods off to our left, so we headed down a dark dirt road in […]
Campground Review: Meriwether Lewis Park (near Hohenwald, TN)
We journeyed to Hohenwald Tennessee in May to visit the Oliver Factory to handle a few issues with our trailer. Afterwards, we wanted to find a nice place to camp where we could put down roots for an entire week to get caught up on projects and just spend some time enjoying being at home. […]
Tech Upgrade: iPhone 3G S
For those who haven’t known me for a while, you may not know that before going nomadic I used to be the Director of Competitive Analysis for Palm (the maker of the Pilot, Tungsten, and Treo) and PalmSource (the Palm OS operating system spinoff). It used to be my job to literally dissect every worthwhile […]
