I decided to get spontaneous and go to Costa Rica. I thought about going to Vietnam, but I figured my last 3 trips were to Asia so I'd switch it up. Back soon...

Years ago I was a musician. College, work, Hawaii, and life in general got in the way of that, and now I feel its time to give it another shot. Over the years I've mumbled to myself, "I should really start piano lessons again" only to get distracted by something else which managed to crowd out that the free time needed to do so.

The reason for getting back into music is two-fold; I enjoy it as a hobby, being completely different from my day job and I've also always wanted to create music for my videos; in the past I've just pulled from my personal music library to provide a soundtrack, now I think it would be a nice challenge for myself to provide the music. Like the videos, music is just a creative outlet, I don't do it to get famous, I do it because I enjoy the experience and I figure someone else out there might enjoy it as well.

I know this is more than a year old, but while I was in China I came across this random blue contraption sitting in the middle of of a Beijing train station. At the time I joked it was a floor waxer; since then I've always wondered what that thing was for seeing as how it looked pretty official. Turns out its an "anti-explosive container".

It's been too long friends. Work has kept me busy, and away from working on dustrotter stuff, but I've got 2 videos finished, with many more in the queue.

First a little catching up... As I mentioned a few weeks back I'm no longer in Hawaii but have moved to Denver, Colorado. Currently, I'm gearing up for for a fantastic winter in the Rockies; new snow gear, new set of wheels, and some all new adventures on the way. In the meantime I still have tons of video to go through from Hawaii, Laos, and lots of places in between.

I'm also planning some trips for next year, I'm thinking about doing 2 pretty large scale events. Things aren't locked down just yet but I think South America will be one and the second is still up in the air. Anyone want to come with? Seriously, I'm looking for a few travel companions, if you're open to trying new foods, don't mind getting a bit dirty and want to experience things most people only see on TV, drop me a line info@dustrotter.com.

Lastly, there was a rumor going around that I was dead, probably as a result of the motorcycle thing, I can tell you first hand, I am not. I kinda suck at posting frequently but now that I'm settled and in the rhythm of things this place is going to be a bit busier.

Stay Tuned...
