mike @vagabondvivant.com · 7hWithout question, without competition, easily my favorite band when I was 18. Todd Nichols, Randy Guss, Dean Dinning, and Glen Phillips. I don't even need to look the names up, they're burned in my brain forever. 🐸💦⚙️ 010

mike @vagabondvivant.com · 11/10/2026... holy shit All this time, I had no idea. Man, I wish I could go back to 2007 and watch it again. (I wish I could go back to 2007 for a lot of reasons, but now that's one of them) 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 10/10/2026Singer, songwriter, actor, and now Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court. Is there anything @joshgroban.bsky.social can't do? 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 10/10/2026Someone in the Philippines created an Uber for animal rescue. You take a picture of an animal in distress, report it, and a volunteer comes and picks it up. sagip-paws.korpuslabs.com/%E2%81%A9 020
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 09/10/2026I need to replace the battery, front brake disc, tires, and probably a couple other things, but I am once again after a many-year hiatus a bad biker bitch. 070
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 09/10/2026My maternal great-grandfather and his mother, taken sometime in the 1880s or so 3170
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 08/10/2026After dealing with Xfinity for 10 months, I finally managed to get my dad's number ported out. To make sure it worked, I made a quick test call and hung up after I heard my phone ring. When I picked up my phone later, even though I knew better, seeing this notification still sucked. 170
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 08/10/2026Ageing myself with the first childhood crush I remember having. I was heartbroken when I found out she died. 010
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 08/10/2026Whatever the hell the "Global Cities Index" is, it's clearly horseshit. How you gonna have SAN JOSE on the list but no Singapore? Or São Paolo? Or Sydney, Barcelona, Istanbul, Shanghai, or a dozen other cities? Come on now. www.bbc.com/travel/artic... 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 07/10/2026Here's a quick reference sheet of the props and who endorses what. Should make things simple for folks. 12615
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 05/10/2026I cannot get over (nor shut up about, clearly) how much I love this thing. The light weight means I can hold it up with one hand, reading for hours, with no fatigue or need to reposition my arm. It's so perfect. 020
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 05/10/2026People who are 1s and 2s, a question: When you "see" the apple, how do you see it? Is it projected onto the back of your eyelids, like it's actually in front of you? Or do you just conceptualize it in your brain? 100
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 05/10/2026btw my mom has a new foster. He's part German Shepherd, part Husky, and fully insane. The only way I can get him to stop tearing around long enough to get a picture is by giving him pets. And even then it took a dozen shots to get these two decent ones. He's an absolute maniac. 130

mike @vagabondvivant.com · 03/10/2026Shaved half a pound off my pack weight for my next backpacking trip. 🤘🏾 140
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 03/10/2026A sanctuary for women — a village in Kenya where men have not been allowed to live for over 30 years. Honestly we could probably do with more of these worldwide. 120
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 29/09/2026Apparently Jucy Book Raves are a thing in Japan now, where a bunch of people get together to read while a DJ plays ambient music. 011
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 29/09/2026Phone Photography Tip: if you can, a pano is better than a wide-angle shot It obviously won't work for action shots or the like, but if you have a relatively static scene, shooting in pano mode will yield a less-distorted image than shooting wide angle 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 29/09/2026I have too much camping gear. I think it's time for an audit. 120
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 29/09/2026Every time I read about extreme sports folks and death-defying stunters and the like, I remember this Emily Carroll quote 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 27/09/2026This question—the idea of a third space is so alien to kids today they can't even imagine them—makes me so sad. 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 27/09/2026Latest analog kick: printing and albuming 350 photos Because when I'm 75, I'm not gonna be loading up Lightroom or a 35-year-old website to reminisce on past adventures. 130
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 22/09/2026Found a pocket of Internet on a hilltop, out in the Desolation Wilderness. It's peaceful up here. A good spot to sit and think about my dad on the one year anniversary of losing him. 040
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 21/09/2026I futzed with it. Dude on Reddit said that bit of the Rubicon Trail (loop's left side) is incredibly overgrown, and that means ticks. I don't wanna spend my night pulling bloodsuckers off me and Spiro. New route would be longer and climbier, but less ticky. I think I'm okay with that. 000
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 21/09/2026Final route configured. Time to stop futzing with Alltrails before I completely alter it yet again. Almost forty miles and a lot of steep climbs. My knees are gonna hate me but my camera's gonna have the time of its life. 120
mike @vagabondvivant.com · 21/09/2026Welp, we had a good run, Wordle. But as I'm heading off to the internet-less wilds for five days, our streak will finally be coming to an end. If anything, I'm embarrassed that it's been over two years since the last time I was off the grid long enough to lose my streak. 010
