Niall Doherty 1 Published my best survey sites article ten weeks ago. Looks like it finally hit the first page of Google today. That’s the tricky thing with SEO – takes a while to find out if what you’re doing is working. I was ready to write off the survey site stuff as a waste of time. But now, …
You must retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties. AND at the same time… You must confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
1 Mentioned before how you get used to living with all kinds of bugs and lizards in Bali, hard to keep them out. Up before sunrise this morning, turned on the light in the kitchen, and got hit with a massive swarm of termites. Our house geckos were loving it. Me, not so much. 2 …
1 I’ve had 5 different needles in my body today. Rash on my arms and legs. Sweated through my bedsheets. Took four pills. Ate an egg sandwich. Watched a scary movie. Took a shower with my hand in a bag. Drank lots of water. Made countless trips to the bathroom. And I’m not allowed to …
1 Came home from a nice dinner at a nice restaurant to find a lizard the size of my hand in the kitchen, light blue with red spots, took a bite at a clothes hanger when we tried shooing him out the window. Now there’s a young Balinese man here with a plastic bag tied …

1 Walking down a quiet street in Chiang Mai and I bump into a legend of a man I last saw in Colombia back in 2014. We promptly drop all plans and spend the next 4.5 hours catching up. He’s aiming to visit 40 countries this year (on a mission to see the whole world), …
1 Every year on this day I watch Benjamin Button, have done since 2009. But not this year. Didn’t feel the urge. Went ice skating instead. Hard to know sometimes if it’s best to do something even when you don’t feel like doing it, or if you should yield to the resistance. 2 You ever get …
1 Off a call with an old friend there, his online business has exploded the past 18 months or so. Talking 10x revenue, up to $40k/month now. Asked if he’d be down for an interview but he’d rather his competition doesn’t know what he’s doing. Understandable. Has me buzzing though, wondering if I should take …
