I’ve managed to adopt 4 new travel quests during this trip:
-
Visit the smallest country on each continent (I’m at 3/6)
-
Visit 24 different time zones (22/24)
-
Visit every state/territory in Australia (2/8)
-
Touch every ocean (5/6; note: I split the Pacific into northern & southern)
A great example of an awesome passion project that makes the personal web so cool. You can’t create a resource like this on social media.
Thank you for visiting my blog. As of 2024 the database contains 447 posts identifying cast iron drinking fountains located around the world. The inventory of these unique art pieces is very limited and I seem to have exhausted those with history available for research. Although I will continue to post items to keep the blog active, future posts may only contain photographs and location information.
I wrote this a number of years ago, and it’s only tangentially about the NFL. The big game is on today sometime (right now?), but I’m out exploring Sydney instead. It’s all about life choices.

Online reviews just suck so much these days that they’re nearly worthless. So as an indieweb proponent, I started posting my own product + place reviews on my Public Notes site. The whole site is a work-in-progress—sorta by design—but I’ll keep adding as I go, at least when the opportunity arises.
You’d imagine after 75 days of traveling that I’d have a surefire workflow perfected for how to deal with the photos from both my camera(s) and iphone, and how I’d seemlessly share those with Jen to put together a photo post for our trip website.
And you would be entirely wrong. 😆🤷♂️

I updated my map of airports I’ve been to. I’m now over a 100!
Of course, I’ll add another half dozen later in this trip.

Not a bad fortune 🍻
9th century? Nah, this is clearly from an AI image generator. I mean, look at those awkward, unrealistic toes! -S 🇱🇰

Wooo! I’ve logged a beer in 170 different states or countries.
And I’m expecting to add Sri Lanka, Maldives, Singapore, Australia, and French Polynesia to hit the 175 mark this trip. 🍻
I managed to rack up 40 different African beers during our five weeks here. Not too shabby given our 24-day overlanding tour, which limited us to mass bottled lagers in local markets.
During our 24-day overlanding tour through Africa, I “hit” my activity and exercise goals (via Apple Watch) early each morning, simply due to the bumpy African roads. Now? Yeah, not so much…
Not having much wifi and feeling constant pressure to upload pics/posts of our adventure has left me with very little time to stay connected to my social media friends, whom I miss.
Just know I’m thinking about y’all and am looking forward to catching up with your blog posts when I can (thanks RSS!)
