Cali Lewis Briefly Drives a Trolley
Cali was shooting a video for The Big Trip about Arnie, a motorman who volunteers with the free trolley system in Uptown Dallas. Arnie asked her to put her camera down, and then he had her come up and drive. I got to drive it too, but the footage of Cali is more fun.
It was scary because there were passengers on board, but it was surprisingly easy since there is no steering involved. One handle clicked from point to point to speed up, and one handle moved slowly to slow down.
Read MoreOperation Pixel Baby
Cali and I both grew up poor, but blessed. Cali grew up connected to an amazingly supportive Italian family and I grew up raised by Baptists who introduced me to Jesus and home grown tomatoes.
We’ve been married nine years and we’ve put off having a kid because we have an amazing relationship. We’ve never had an argument…ever and the big fear is that having a kid might be the factor that changes that.
For our Big Trip, we started a site called PaidByPixels.com. It’s similar to the principal of buying a brick in a pathway to support your college. You buy pixels to support our trip and get ads galore on PaidByPixels.com and on our network of Web sites. We call it the Pixel Board.
We don’t need nearly all of the pixels to sell to fund the Big Trip, but we need most of them to sell. Cali said tonight, if we sell all of them, we can have a kid after the trip. I’m pretty sure I can convincer her to get started on the kid mission about half-way through.
People have always said that you can’t wait for everything to be fine finically to have a kid because things my never be okay. Cali grew up in a struggle and she doesn’t want to raise a kid that way. I’m not opposed to admitting that I need your help convincing her. She loves me, and she loves y’all.
When people don’t get this Web 2.0 world we’re living in, I wonder if they want to connect to people at all. To us the connection we feel to our GeekBrief.TV friends is more real than the connection we have to anyone in the flesh-and-blood world. That’s why I’m sharing this mission with you guys and not the natural fam.
Read MoreThe Key Word is Vicarious
When we set our minds on the goal of becoming professional podcasters, we had laser focus that goes beyond any ambition we’ve ever had before. Our year-long road trip goal has a similar feeling. The goal actually seems almost impossible. We’re wanting to raise more money in two months than we’ve ever made in a single year. That’s what’s required if we do the trip debt free.
The thing that’s weird is that it doesn’t seem impossible or even difficult to accomplish. Two months from now, I might be writing that I was wrong, but right now, we’re moving forward with a tremendous amount of faith and expectation.
Some people are inspired by the Geek Brief story. We love it when we encourage someone to pursue a dream. I hope the Big Trip will do that and more. I hope it motivates people to try something they’ve always wanted to try.
A Week Off
Cali and I are taking a week off from production of GBTV. We’re organizing, organizing, organizing and we’re trying to figure out how to make the best use of our time. Day one has gone really well. We organized our garage. Tomorrow, the go is to get all the non-essential stuff out of the house and into the garage.
Some stuff is going to ebay. Some to charity and some we’ll keep. Mostly, we just need to simplify.
Read MoreTravel
Some people just LOVE to travel. I’m not one of them. We just got home from Nashville and now we’re off to Arizona for three days. We’re meeting with some folks from Intel, and I’m excited about that. I’m also excited about shooting a Brief at the Grand Canyon, finally. I just don’t want to leave home to do it.
We’ll only be back a few days before leaving for our very first trip to New York. Again, that should be something to look forward to, but I just can’t. We’re always so tired, and I think it might be time to take a week off.
Someone, I’m sure has figured out how to balance opportunity with capacity. I want to learn that secret. When opportunites are realy interesting, it’s difficult not to say yes to too many things.
We haven’t grown enough to justify employees. We’re probably being stingy and holding on too tight to what we’re blessed to make, but we have a dream to pay cash for a house. Maybe we’d get there faster if we let go of a little bit so that growth is a little more comfortable.
