Amtrekker
Hey Team,
I’m an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com

I’ve Made a Huge Mistake?: Hey Team, So about that potential mistake I may or may not have made… I spent just about everything I had left today on a sixty day pass that will take me everywhere I need to go for the next two months. The down side? 1) It’s on Greyhound and 2) I still have to survive. But, this […]    read more
Go Time: Hey Team, I’m feeling a little better today. Is it weird that I feel REALLY bad for getting sick? Like I’m kind of letting you all down by not being as productive as I could be? Regardless, I’m still nowhere near 100% and this has definitely thrown off my “schedule” but I think I’m ready to move […]    read more

Marathon Madness: Hey Team, The Boston Marathon is such a HUGE event. I never realized just how enormous the surrounding hoopla is on the big day. Not only that but there’s an insane dichotomy happening that you’d never believe unless you’ve seen it. For 20,000 visitors it’s one of the biggest races they’ll compete in all year and it’s […]    read more
Marathon Monday: Hey Team, After a fun-filled weekend in Cape Cod it looks like tomorrow will be my last full day in Boston for a long time (unless I decide to head back up for the “Internet Superstar” taping on the 26th).

Silly Hat Bachelor Party! [updated with pictures!]: Hey Team, Here’s a fun story that should probably start with an apology, so… I’m sorry. Mostly to all the folks I handed Amtrekker business cards to yesterday (especially since many of these people were REALLY cool). Why the apology, you ask? Because (hopefully) those folks are reading the site today and learning that I helped lie […]    read more
Fifty Objective Pickup: Hey Team, Ever play fifty-two card pickup? You know how there’s always that clump of cards in the middle that are easy to grab but then you spend the next twenty minutes looking for the last few? Yeah. It’s like that…but with two less cards.
