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

Awesome Delays: Hey Team, As per usual, that plan that I outlined the other day is nearly completely shot. I guess that’s what I get for trying something new. “Okay, universe. I understand. It’s not my place to make plans. It wont happen again. I promise.” But the good news is, those plans aren’t shot for any severely negative […]    read more
GSU Sampling: Hey Team, Yesterday morning when I pulled into Atlanta I found myself still having to finish a good portion of the podcast. Naturally I couldn’t work on it at the Greyhound station so I went for a walk to see if I could find a cozy office-of-the-day. (Preferably one with some hot tea. Turns out Atlanta […]    read more
TASTHIB - City Museum - St. Louis, MO [podcast]: Hey Team, On my last day in St. Louis I finally took everyone’s advice and checked out the City Museum, a magical land of wonder and recycled architecture. Seriously guys, this place rocked. It’s made completely out of recycled products. People tear down a building or are looking to get rid of their private jet and these […]    read more
Anti-Excitement: Hey Team, “The Plan” was delayed by a day, which I suppose, just goes to show how useful plans are in my hands. (i.e. not very) BUT besides that, things are progressing nicely. At 3:30 am my bus leaves Nashville for Atlanta where I’ll meet up with a guy that lives about an hour south of […]    read more
The Plan: Hey Team, Just a very quick update. I’ve been trying out this new “planning” thing. I don’t know how well it’s going (…and it seems to take a lot of time) but I think it’s just as much of a new experience as hang gliding or milking a cow and so it deserves it’s time in […]    read more
“Hey Kettle You’re Looking Kinda…Black”: Hey Team, I’ve never made any attempt at keeping secret the fact that Greyhound is my least favorite method of travel. There are some pretty unsavory characters rolling around those terminals. When I was traveling to St. Louis I had the privilege of sharing the bus with an older man with a bushy white beard, a head […]    read more
Walk It Off: Hey Team, I’ve recently discovered two very interesting and telling facts about the people living in this great country of ours. 1. NO ONE’S concept of “walking distance” is the same as mine. And 2. NO ONE has any concept of distance. Period. I explored the better part of St. Louis by foot today and for the most part it […]    read more
I HATE: Hey Team, I’m sure there are a few of you out there that already know this but I don’t think I’ve ever written about it so most of you are probably in the dark. There are precious few things in this life that I would file under the category of “Things Brett Hates.” All in all […]    read more
How to: Splash! [TASTHIB - podcast]: Hey Team, I changed things up ever so slightly this week. I like having this weekly format. It means I’m prompted to show you guys things I wouldn’t normally put out on the podcast. So, let me know what you think! Here it is! Loading… And of course…the youtube link. Okay, time to go check out the diggnation happenings! I’m […]    read more
Yoga and Booboo: Hey Team, I scored another new experience yesterday! Apparently it’s this fancy new type of torture called “yoga.” (I think it’s French for “intense muscle pain.”) I wish I could have filmed some of it for this week’s podcast, I’m sure you all would have enjoyed watching the pain in my shaking limbs being telegraphed via […]    read more
