“You realize you’re going to miss them, don’t you?” Rohlman said. Darius McNeal nodded his head. He understood what had to be done. It really bothers me that they keep showing all these fights going on in schools. It really makes people think that is all that goes on. That schools are out of control. [...]

Posted by Coach Kip on February 5th, 2009
The term lifestyle design was first introduced to me by Timothy Ferris at the The 4-Hour work Week. If you don’t have a copy of his book get it now, it is absolutely fantastic, and the principles in the book will blow your mind. Basically stated lifestyle design is living your life in a way [...]

Free Desert
Posted by Coach Kip on October 6th, 2008
I really like the people here in Taipei. It is very crowded but not so crowded that it is overbearing. It is a hustle and bustle of a modern city, a very modern city, but because they are so orderly there are very few problems. It is a very safe town. One of the things [...]
The Economy and the US
Posted by Coach Kip on October 2nd, 2008
