Bangkok: Sawasdee Khrap
Bangkok changed the way I think about cities. In its neon streets, crowded temples, and layered history, I discovered what urban texture truly means—and why some places stay with you long after you leave.
I vent about parental exhaustion, toddler care, tantrums, dance competitions, and why tired means something different after kids.
I write about redesigning this site, wiping my Mac, starting fresh for spring, and the freedom that comes from rebuilding cleanly.
I connect the new iPad, social apps, SXSW, and a redesign of Four Sides while thinking about blurry visions of the future.
I preserve a favourite commitment quote attributed to Goethe and W.H. Murray about beginning, boldness, providence, and action.
I review Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Body, from fear and the Harajuku Moment to fat loss, experimentation, and what the book gets right.
I explore self-renewal through new books, places, and experiences, using small mind bombs to remix who I am becoming.
On my 32nd birthday, I look back on my 20s, false starts, career shifts, parenting, and finally feeling ready to turn the bass up.
I share photos and impressions from Sparkling Hill Resort near Vernon, from Okanagan views and Swarovski crystals to the spa experience.
I respond to Pauline Nordin's tough-love fitness quote and think about perfectionism, criticism, and why growth needs real challenge.
I mark the 100th post on Four Sides by looking back at blogging, identity, paleo eating, and how this personal site keeps changing with me.
I process a breakup by facing my own hurt, questioning impersonal blogging, and trying to move on without using media as a distraction.
I reflect on Merlin Mann's fear talk, fatherhood, career uncertainty, and why fear follows passion into the next step.
I discuss Chris Guillebeau's The Art of Non-Conformity, family history, vision, mission, and what meaningful work might look like.
I'm James McCullough: entrepreneur, writer, father, partner, and coffee-fueled polymath, exploring big ideas across work, culture, technology, and life.
I collect free, legitimate sample chapters and links for The 4-Hour Body so readers can decide whether Tim Ferriss's book is worth buying.
