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

Hey Team,

Thanks so much for the feedback on yesterday’s video. Your comments were overwhelmingly positive and I’m going to do my best to get more of them out there. IN FACT, why don’t you kids feed your eyeballs on this little guy!

I’m done.

Brett.

Kind strangers keep ‘trekkers trekking. I think Mark Twain said that…maybe.


Or was it Steinbeck?

  2. Thanks, randi! Hang gliding was freaking INCREDIBLE! Nothing has touched it yet in terms of shear awesome although milking a cow on an Amish farm ranks right up there with it for completely different reasons.

  3. Well done. That lobster boy had a dirty mouth!

    Where you at these days? I hope you have a good Thanksgiving :)

  4. I’m with Jill on lobster boy’s blue phraseology. :-)

    As a grandfather, I’m a little concerned that you’re not with your family for Thanksgiving. As for giving thanks, let me tell you that one of the things I’m thankful for is the delight and laughter I get from you and your posts and podcasts.

    I notice that you wear a TRS T-shirt. I watch their podcast and think they’re smart, likable guys. You are more likable than they are, and you’re obviously much smarter because you personally don’t sink to using four-letter dreck to make your point. Keep up the excellent work.

    P.S. I wrote to Ellen DeGeneres’ producers and suggested you as a guest. Can’t hurt to try, right?

  7. Thanks everyone! Jess, it’s probably the connection you were on not the computer. Everything stays pretty much the same on my end. And spiritedge, way to go!!! I would never try to stop anyone from doing what they can to get the word out!!
