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

Loading… [update] Here’s the youtube link for the podcast. OH! It’s here! Later. Brett. If you like seeing videos of me sitting around bored out of my mind then maybe you’ll want to make […]    read more
Nature’s Plot to Make Me Look Stupid: Hey Team, I fully expected to be on a long miserable bus ride to Salt Lake City right now. Unfortunately Greyhound and nature had other ideas. Apparently the roads to SLC are closed due to snow right now so I have to wait until morning to catch a train instead. This is especially good news since this […]    read more
#41 Sandboarding! [podcast]: Hey Team, I suppose the smart thing to do (if I were willing to cheat you people), especially in light of my last post promising to have a new video up every Wednesday at 6pm PST, would have been to hold onto this video for just a couple more days. But then you would have been […]    read more

I made a couple of good connections that will probably bare fruit as far as being part of a stage illusion goes but the wheels of networking turn slowly in this city and I’m starting to get antsy. I have to take care of two quick […]    read more
No Cab Fare: Hey Team, I think I was kind of burnt out on this strange excuse for a city before I even got here. It’s hard to stay upbeat in a city where half the population thrives on cheating the other half. (Which is strange because normally I LOVE those stories.) Since I’ve been here I’ve had a […]    read more
Paging Mr. Copperfield: Hey Team, People write in fairly regularly with offers of help to cross things off the list.

Naturally […]    read more
