My name is James Whitaker. I'm 28. I have been traveling around the world since November 2006. I run my internet business from my laptop. My friends think I'm crazy. I think it's crazy to sit a cubicle for more than 5 minutes in a single lifetime. These are my adventures.

My name is James Whitaker. I'm 29. I am back in America, running my internet business and ready to go back on the road for summer 09. These are my adventures.

My name is James Whitaker. I'm 30. I am back in San Luis Obispo for a few months while I decide what to do when I grow up. I still play and work with websites.

Small world

Today, on two seperate occassions, Peter and I were each IM’ing with software engineers in India. They are freelancers we found on Craigslist. One of them wants us to pay her $3 an hour. This is after I woke up early to send help desk tickets to our programmers in Russia, which is 6 hours ahead. I can’t help but think that the world is getting smaller and smaller and that can only be good thing. I know people bitch and complain about US jobs, but in reality that’s a little un-American insofar as the market demands that the most efficient suppliers rise and the least efficient ones fall. Aren’t free markets what made the US great in the first place?
