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

Greenie Green?!: Hey Team, Here’s a quick story since I still haven’t been in one place near an outlet long enough to compress this week’s video. I jumped off the bus at about five o’clock this morning in Chicago several shades shy of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and decided to meet up with a friend for breakfast before making my […]    read more
Toxic Stupidity Spill: Hey Team, Here’s a super quick update so I can go jump on a bus real quick and go try to clean up the stupidity spill I caused this morning. (Which, once again, wouldn’t be a problem if I were capable of planning ahead more than half a step. But that’s what makes me so endearing, […]    read more

Kiteboarding!: Hey Team, I may not be at 100% just yet as I continue to recover from that wicked cold/flu/cholera from last week but that didn’t stop me from getting dragged face first through the Atlantic Ocean today! I’m back in Charleston, SC where I met up with Chris, who it turns out isn’t just a better than […]    read more
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?
