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

Swamptrekker: Hey Team, Turns out updating a website while frantically barreling across the country in someone else’s truck on a tight deadline is a little more difficult than one may think. Blame the long BORING road for the dearth of posts this week. I’ll make up for it by making this a good one! When I was passing […]    read more
Lowest Highest Point.: Hey Team, Here’s the skinny: I’m supposed to be in Utah by the 19th to go fly-fishing but getting across the country is expensive…so sometimes you have to get creative. I was checking craigslist.org for rideshares a few days ago and came across an ad for a guy who is moving to San Francisco and needs his […]    read more
#24 Be Part of a Stage Illusion [podcast]: Hey Team, No more waiting! It’s Wednesday again and after almost a month long wait between objectives here it is…#24! Thanks again to Terry Evanswood and Jay of Magic Beyond Belief and to Pat and Helen for getting in touch with them. I had a blast! I hope the rest of you enjoy this week’s video half as […]    read more
Quarry On: Hey Team, I’m headed south now but I ended up staying in Knoxville for an extra day when it looked like some members of a Bluegrass band I was mysteriously hanging around with might know some moonshiners. Sadly, things didn’t quite work out but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun times hanging out with a bluegrass playing […]    read more
Magically Ambitious: Hey Team, I’m sure I’ve said this a hundred times by now but I am continually blown away by how often people surpass my expectations of kindness. I spent most of yesterday in Pigeon Forge, TN thanks to Helen and her mom Pat’s connections to the Magic Beyond Belief show and Terry Evanswood. (Also…no such thing […]    read more
Magic is About to Happen: Hey Team, I made it to Pigeon Forge, TN today thanks Tommy, my Couch Surfing Host, Jessica’s, friend. Why would I come to a place called Pigeon Forge if I’ve already been to a place called Bald Knob? Sadly, I don’t just visit places based on how ridiculous their names sound. I’m actually here to cross […]    read more
Hashing: Hey Team, I’m not even sure where to start today. I had such an awesome experience last night but I don’t think it’s going to be easy to describe. You guys might need to do a little research on your own. Here goes nothing (maybe literally): I was wandering the worldwide webs two days ago when I […]    read more
News to Me Inteview [podcast]: Hey Team, This is a fairly short one considering all the footage I had. I didn’t want to steal too much of News to Me’s thunder so I just took a few clips from yesterday. Check it out. Also this is the first week of a new type of “HD” encoding I’m trying out so let me […]    read more
News To Me: Hey Team, I had my interview with CNN’s News To Me today. It was a complete one-eighty from Fox Business News and a nice chance to answer some of those questions that keep popping up that I never fully acknowledge. It was pouring rain when I woke up and I was dreading even the short walk to […]    read more
What’s He Talking About?: Hey Team, I’m sure I had something to write about today but I’ve just been staring at the screen for the last five minutes trying to remember what it was. Let’s just assume it was the funniest, most exciting, eye-opening post I’ve ever written, pretend I actually wrote it and then move on. I’ve been insisting that […]    read more
