Lauren and I are preparing to travel around the world!

We leave on July 10 and go east until we're back again. Being on the road for a full year requires all sorts of special knowledge and skills. Visas, airlines, backpacks, hi-tech travel underwear?! Where do you start?

My savior has been The Practical Nomad: How to Travel Around the World by Edward Hasbrouck.

I've spent hours with The Practical Nomad in front of me while I looked at websites like BootsnAll Travel and The Tranquillo Traveler (where I first learned about The Practical Nomad). The view has become very familiar, so I drew a picture of it (that's what I do). In the background is a calender which looms larger and larger with each passing day.

This is the drawing of the week for May 4-11, 2008.

Ze Frank is exploring the real artistic potential of the internet. He doesn't just put out insightful and funny must-see daily videos, he is always pushing his viewers to be creative themselves.

From his "When Office Supplies Attack" to his collective approach to branding Sugar Tits cereal, Ze is doing his part to wake people out of their passivity.

Hurrah for Ze!

This is the "drawing" of the week for September 10-16, 2006.
