New York, NYI’m a day trader. My focus is a single commodity, and it’s one that affects me personally. It is my own energy. Every action I take, every period of time I devote, I am either gaining or draining energy. Some trades provide me with short term gains, but long term drains. There’s a catch too. My energy - or at least my capacity to spend it, is finite. I must sleep every day, no matter how many energy gaining trades I make.

Chiang Mai, Thailand Two months ago I took a flight from New York to Southeast Asia. I started in Bali; I’m currently in Thailand and planning on staying for at least the rest of the year. Two months ago, I also pulled the trigger on another idea I had been playing with. I decided to focus on full-time on a self-directed learning project, quitting my job and moving out of my Boston apartment.
