Adventures in Nomadic Serendipity
A bit over a week ago I was buzzed over Skype by my friend Ewan Spence, an award-winning podcaster, Cthulhu tamer, and kilt wearing international man of mystery.
Ewan asked me if I’d like to be his guinea pig first interview for a new podcast concept he was trying out – “Room 404“.
This past year we have been experimenting with selling electronically distributed products, namely our iOS applications ‘State Lines‘ and ‘Coverage?‘, and our ‘Answers to Common Excuses‘ eBook. We thought it would be interesting to share the hard numbers behind these roll-outs, because there isn’t a lot of real-world publicly available data showing the realities of […]
\ We are beyond excited to present our newest iPhone/iPad app: Coverage? Coverage provides an at-a-glance “universal” coverage map by interactively overlaying the coverage maps from the four major nationwide US cellular providers. We came up for the idea last summer when we set up camp in a beautiful field of wildflowers along the continental […]

The past weeks have been a blur of amazing scenery going by at way too quick of pace (and with way too little bandwidth). It seems every time this part of the year is like this as we transition to be on the west coast for Burning Man. Before leaving Saint Louis, we found […]
This week marks two noteable celebrations for our little nomadic household – It marks 2 years since we picked up our highly customized , geeked out Oliver Travel Trailer and began living in it full time. We still love our little home on wheels, even if we do get space-envy from time to time. It […]
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 […]
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 – […]
