I'm a part time student pursuing a degree in Jazz Studies and a part time technician at a place called UBREAKIFIX where I repair smartphones, game consoles, etc.

What would I like to do? I'd much rather serve with the Peace Corps and eventually live without money. As in, literally no money and rely on the land to provide for me. Once I pay off my student loans, that's what I'm going to do. So why did I even go to school? One of the greatest tragedies of life is that we wise up too late. The idea of living off the land has been fermenting in me for since I was senior in high school. However, the concept didn't solidify itself until about 6 months ago. So, until I pay off my student loans, I'll continue to live in a society full of discontent, a lack of appreciation, and mass consumerism.

Do you think you'd ever be able to work on Hubski full time? Would the site have to incorporate ads in any way to bring in some sort of income? I feel that most of the people have made up their own opinions already, so ads wouldn't really affect our purchasing methods.

Oh, I've read the book about his life twice. I went to Moab actually over the summer and kept my eyes peeled for him. Unfortunately, I didn't see him. It was cool just knowing I was near him though.

There's a book about him too.

I've read it twice. Incredible book.

This is probably more appropriate for a PM, but I used to work in the same building as UBREAKIFIX over a decade ago, although my office was the one closest to the parking lot, upstairs.

Woah, that's a strange coincidence. I think that store right now is a father and son fleece clothing shop. I don't think they're going to last very long.
