Globe Traveling

Adventures in Domaining

I didn't get out of bed until 5pm today, but turns out that was perfect timing.

I checked my inbox and there was an email from GoDaddy for authorization to transfer a domain that I did not request. So this catches my attention. Then the email is deleted soon there after by not-me.

Some asshole is trying to steal one of my domains while I'm sitting there watching.

I've had my share of unsavory encounters on the internet… Read full post »

I got a scanner, I have a dog. Any questions?

College Tour

Since I've been back I've been sort of cruising around visiting friends.

I haven't visited a ton of schools, I keep running into these kids when they aren't at school which thwarts my plans.

I've gone to…
Umass Amherst
Providence College
Sienna College
Rensselaer Polytech

Visited with or hung out with kids representing…
(as far as I know)
Umass Amherst
Providence College
Sienna College
Rensselaer Polytech
Bridgewater State
Keene State
Dean College
UConn
Framingham State

And today I got into Umass Amherst because I don't feel like living in Virginia. No travel plans right now. Kind of want to climb something, but it's sort of past that season. I guess I'll just have to ski down something instead.

Book of the Read Club

I decided after reading the book Paper Towns in one sitting that I am going to force it upon the poor souls that are the children I know. Which gave me the idea of making a list of sorts of books I think people in general should read.

That list is here.

I wish it was longer. I'm going to come back to it and add more as they come to me or as I read them. An endless list of awesome literature would be good.

It sort of looks like a High School reading list, so sue me. But if you read all the ones on the list you're well on your way to hating the government. It's 3am when I write this so I'm not exactly alert enough to recall the names of every book I think is worth reading.

Did I mention I'm hijacking this site and making it my personal website. It was already my own website, but it was my travel website. Now it's sort of a what I'm doing website.
Is that allowed?

I'm going to write something about what I've been doing, but I don't want to double post. I'd rather let this sit on top for a while.

Home

Being thwarted by pesky reservations I spent 3 nights relatively homeless.

When I got to Vienna I tried 8 hotels, every single one I could find, and all were booked up. Can you believe Austria has a busy season. After having this happen in Munich I figure Austria was a pretty no name country so I wouldn't have this issue.

A lot of conferences were in town, oh come on.

So I walked the streets of Vienna from 10pm-6am which was not fun and was not planned.

When I found out there was not gonna be any rooms for me I went back to station to get a train to anywhere and the guy tells me there is only a night train back to Munich. Proving how much of a no name city you are. When you only have 2 trains leaving at 11pm your not exactly winning any popularity contests.

And no, I don't want to go back to Munich especially not on a night train again.

In the morning I went back to Munich's International Airport and flew Munich to Paris to JFK. My mom and sister picked me up in NY because last time I flew into the shit hole that is JFK I was stuck there for 9 hours Read full post »
