Got a laptop? Shake things up at the Waffle House!

With over 36 streets named “PeachTree” and a waffle house on every 3 blocks of those, it’s easy to get lost in Atlanta. I’m glad I have my GPS, of course, but sometimes it’s nice to just “Get lost.” I found this Waffle House out of convenience… it’s across the street from Skizzy’s […]

Tetris + Dreams = Independent Lady Magazine decision.

Robert Stickgold and his colleagues at Harvard Medical School in 1994 actually proved that the Tetris Effect exists. You can read about it in Scientific American. The term can be seen in Wikipedia as well. What Stickgold and associates proved was a new understanding of what dreams are…. that the brain […]

I may have done something bad. What to do??

I mention Independent Lady Magazine a little too frequently lately. Last night, (I still haven’t slept… though not just because of this) in the middle of the night, I decided that I’d set up a MySpace page for Independent Lady Magazine and then I went and designed a few mock covers… no false […]

You can make money with google ads?

So, I mentioned that I’m actually stationary for a tiny bit.  One of the people I saw lecture while on the road was Joel Comm.  This guy practically invented the internet (he DID invent what is now “Yahoo Games”), and is a god-like figure for people who believe in Google AdSense.  What is it, and […]

My NEW adventure!

Where in the world is Couch Surfing Ori?   That’s what the text message often says.  Joe of Couch 56 sends it every month, sometimes more frequently.  His wife recently took to Couch Surfing, and was even my 1st guest at my new place.  So… based on the fact that you know my definition of adventure […]

Independent Lady Magazine - a case study in marketing and education

I’ve couch surfed for over a year now… and the whole time I was doing it, and even now, I kept educating myself. Audio books, books, online courses, forums, seminars with the best in the world, and conversations with the same. Most my education on this trip was about business and marketing. […]

Independent Lady Magazine

Independent lady magazine is the name of a project I was going to take on. I’ll tell you about it, since you know I hate having my time wasted, and this is a wonderful story of time wasting. Angela was looking for projects for me, and found someone on CraigsList.org that needed a magazine […]

Thanksgiving day parade! Major photography! Plain White Tees! Circus! FOOD!

Summary: Ori & Angela wake up at the glamorous Allegro hotel in Chicago, see the craziest things from the front lines, and show you many photos of this unique event.

Check out my interview from the Nick Digilio show!

I had such a blast being on the Nick Digilio show! It’s like calling in to a show, only better. Nick’s show, for those who don’t know it, is very entertaining. Basically, it’s another talk show on AM Radio. It’s entertaining, informative, and (I think) intelligent. They were very […]

Another CouchSurfingOri Song– And how Texas got his photos

Brooklyn was a blast! I got to hang out with some very like-minded people! There were a lot of jokes, and a lot of music. Couch 60 was a recording studio, Xyayx Productions. Q of Xyayx not only teaches digital recording at Brooklyn College, but also has a huge community […]

CouchSurfingOri - influencing young minds!

When I started this trip, one of my intentions was to speak to school children about adventures, about living your dreams, about photography, and of course about making sure you question authority! I have to admit that I’ve been sort of slacking in that department (pursuing the presentations), but as you all know, I got […]

Getting to Maryland - Productive day… my 1st "I love you"

My alarm was set for 3:30am, and I left at 4am. Why so early? Because Angela was going to arrive at Baltimore International at 10:45. I spoke to Angela the night before, and she said I can get there by noon, that way they have girl time, and I don’t have to leave as […]

Rock Climbing near Chimney Rock with Couch 58

The drive was not too long- 40 minutes to 70 minutes- to the Chimney Rock area. Again, gorgeous trees and mountains all the way. It ’s not just the scenery that one notices, but also the architecture. There are many old buildings, small communities, old cars, bridges, lakes, ponds, barns… It definitely looks different than […]

Meet up with Miah, a fellow couch surfer

Onwards! I was in a hurry- that’s why I left South Florida when I did. I needed to get to Maryland by the 18th, to meet Angela for her friend(couch 45)’s birthday. So, I stopped off at Couch 37 and hung out with the Ground Industries guys. They’re a blast to be around. They wanted […]

Get good hosting!

I got sick of losing sleep due to GoDaddy's glitches, and crappy billing... I moved to BlueHost, and am happy! Awesome service, unlimited account hosting, and I'd love to see you use up all the bandwidth they give you for $6.50/month!
