May Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. Mainly because I’m what many ‘mericans would describe as a commie. It’s not a good description. I’m a Libertarian Socialist, a Utopian Idealist, a Democratic Confederalist – and a member of the USA branch of the Democratic Socialists. I’m not a communist, however, though I…
An Overnight Staycation in Waikiki for No Reason at All Waikiki is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and for good reason. With its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant nightlife, there’s something for everyone in this iconic Honolulu neighborhood. But what if you’re looking for a more relaxing and affordable…
These were the notes I presented inside the Vagobond Magazine discord. They aren’t complete by any means, I simply wanted to share what NFT-NYC has been like for those who are curious and not here. To be fair, I think a conference like this is different for every attendee. In a way it’s like minting…
I’ve been steadily working at becoming a better version of myself. There are sometimes setbacks, but in general, I feel like I’m making progress. A lot of that comes from self-understanding. It’s taken me fifty-one years to realistically look at who I am and to stop trying to make myself into someone I am not….

I’ve been thinking about this sport and how to make it a reality since 2003. The one thing that I never really considered was using a giant wave pool – these are now much more available and accessible. This morning I was playing with ChatGPT and asked it to lay out the details of the…
Please pardon us. It may be a little messy for a while but Vagobond.com is going to be changing servers over the next month and we may experience some temporary outages. Things are going to be pretty different and we look forward to sharing everything with you. Thanks for your patience. CD (Vago)
In Hawaii, Aloha means hello, goodbye, and love. I’d like to say all three to Vagobond Magazine. You may have noticed that I’ve deleted all the NFT and Web3 content from this site. First of all, I’d like to say goodbye. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ – – – Because Vagobond Magazine has…
Let’s start this with a disclaimer. Growing up in Southern California in the 1970s – Disney was a big part of my childhood. You could almost say that Disney defined my childhood. My mom’s first job was working for Walt Disney at Disneyland. She was one of the original mermaids in the Disneyland lagoon. My…
The tricky part of traveling with my eleven-year-old daughter is finding ways to make it fun for both of us. I wasn’t going to keep us in the Narita Airport Crowne Plaza longer than I had to, so I’d booked us into Annex Katsutaro Ryokan in the old Nippori and Yanaka section of Arakawa City…
