About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Attempting To Be A Nomad For A Whole Year

ABOUT ME

Born in New Jersey, now residing in Cambridge. A kid whose taking a year off before law school to see if it's possible to use the internet to be entirely nomadic and self-sufficient for an entire year. He's blogging it. Ideally he'd like it to make it from one coast to the other, stopping to see:

-The Worlds Largest Ball of Twine
-Mount Rushmore
-Aurora Borealis
(more forthcoming)

Doing research now to see whether or not it's possible. The alternative is being a kid working in an office. This would be saaaaaaaad.

Been also working lately on ROFLCon, a conference of internet memes, roflcon.org
