Frank, the Google Earth guy, sailing around the world

Okay, so first this guy has a full-time job blogging about Google Earth. Obviously he did not have that job before 2005 (when GE was released for the first time in its GE form). Wait, I could have done that job! That was a cool job! But was he satisfied with just being the best known GE blogger in the world? (and he was really good at it!) NO! Frank then had to leave that job for a five-year (5 years!) sail around the world with his lovely wife, Karen. They’ve now been in the South Pacific for weeks, and you can read about their explorations here. Crap! What bad choices have I made in life? What decisions do you have to make, and when, to be poised to JUMP when the spirit says JUMP!?
