Video Edition: Dell Diamond
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 24 June 2009
We got an e-mail from Bill Bivin, one of the moderators from Dell over at Digital Nomads, asking us if we would be interested in submitting a guest post about our Camp Nomadia theme camp at Burning Man. As we also happened to be in Austin at the time, we made arrangements to meet [...]

Video Edition: Rock Climbing in Austin, Texas
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 9 June 2009
I grew up in South Austin, not too far from the Barton Creek Greenbelt. In fact, we could hike to it from our house. It was a wonderful place to grow up and be out in nature, but yet part of a progressive urban city. My brother still lives in Austin, so it’s a frequent destination [...]

Campground Review: McKinney Falls State Park (near Austin, TX)
Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 7 May 2009
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 [...]

Down at Del Rio
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 22 April 2009
The Stranglers once said “No more heroes anymore”, they were wrong. Yesterday I trecked to the train station around 3 and a half miles away, in soaring temperatures (about 35•C), with a huge bag on my back and a fever all the while. I expect the Foreign Legion to be in contact shortly hoping to [...]

Blame it on the Tetons
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 22 April 2009
Bonus post people. I don’t know what it is about the States, but this is the 2nd time I’ve had a ridiculously bad hangover which hasn’t hit until the afternoon. It’s murder. I just trundled down to the shop to pick up some supplies for the train (including some bourbon, never know when you might need some [...]

Lonely blue boy is my name
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 22 April 2009
Alrighty there now folks, how the devil are ya? Me, I’ve got a hangover I have. ‘Lonely blue boy is my name’ was the title of a song I saw performed last night for the curious amongst y’all. I got some snuff from a garage yesterday, good stuff as well. I thought they only done it in [...]

Playing the old waiting game
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 21 April 2009
Oh oh, I appear to have sunburn. My pale British skin does not know how to contend with 2 days of sunshine on the trot. The last time I had a tan was 14 years ago when I was in Tenerife as a lad of 12. On the walk home last night (another 3 miles, I [...]

Keep Austin weird
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 20 April 2009
It was Sunday and not many buses were running so I couldn’t be arsed with the 3 mile walk into town last night. After a good night’s rest I awoke to completely perfect weather and happily walked into the city. If California is the sunshine state Texas must have run them pretty close for the right [...]

South by Southwest
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 19 April 2009
Goodbye San Anton. A nice city that I shall return to one day. I’m at the Greyhound station again now. CHAOS!!! No one seems to know which direction you should be queuing in (there’s a door at either side of the rope) and as I was the first person here 2 lines seem to have sprouted [...]
