Living Simply Part 1

simplicity

This will be a multipart post regarding simplification without sacrificing productivity. In 2009, I began a process of simplifying my life to the bare essentials; a place to live, a method to get around, and a way to communicate/conduct business. The reason is to get rid of the “junk” we all like to collect, which [...]

R.I.P., Mi Lil’ Focus

Poor Lil Focus

Yes, this is my car. Or, at least, what’s left of it. Surprising it still turns on, just doesn’t run because of a broken accelerator cable and damaged air manifold. I’ll know in a few weeks if the other guy’s insurance will cover repairs or if it will be back to long-term carless life. How’d [...]

Tennessee Deployment

American Red Cross

I haven’t posted in a while, so it seems necessary. I’d make a long post, but being back in Cali for just 6 days, I’m still a little tired. So how about I just give a quick list of why I joined the Red Cross, deal? deal.

Centralization, An Ongoing Process

WebComRad

Life is complex, this we know. However very few people ask, “why?”. Perhaps its that you have 6.8 billion unique people with distinct methods of interaction. Perhaps its the 8 different personality types with a combination of a unique social upbringing. Perhaps it just is complex.

Simplifying Life 1 Piece at a Time

simplify

2010 will be a year of simplification for Martin. As the world advances with different types of communication tools, the world becomes more & more complex. With this complexity, though, comes a dangerous attachment to this world. You must know what everone on facebook/myspace/twitter is doing, and you must post hourly. If you need to [...]

Sites Back Up, With a New Theme

speed

What does it take to kill a site? A corrupt file, and a malformed database is all it takes. From December 1st to the 3rd, this site was down due to a complex database write issue. In short, a plugin made an incomplete database table, which WordPress tried to fix, failing in every respect.

To Give Up A Friend

In January of 2009, I started writing a novel loosely based on a real person. 297 pages, 90,000 (estimate) words, and 11 months later, I have finished this novel. Right Now, I’m seeking a publisher for printing, however, I felt I would share (read: entice) you with an original excerpt of the the first page [...]

20 Km / Day

n October, I walked mostly between 15 Km and 35 Km a day. These were done in 7 km stints, with usually a 1 hour break between them. In the entire month, there were only 4 days that were less then 15 Km, but those still had about 1 – 4 km of walking. I’ve spent more than 80 hours walking this last month. Thats close to 3 hours a day. All for training.

Introducing new site, LifeByWire.mobi, a source for high-quality, detailed reviews of various coffee drinks & coffee shops. Currently, the geographic target is Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Isla Vista areas, but will eventually expand laterally to all cities/regions.

New Revenue Blogs in Progress

In the next 4 weeks, I’ll be rolling out 2 new blogs. The first is LifeByWire.Mobi, a site with coffee drink & store reviews. The second is minus1.martinhenderson.me, a site with suggestions and tips to live minimally.
