Remember how I said that domain squatters want $18,000 for morethanmoney.com. They’ve changed their mind. They want more! May I have two, please? In theory, I’m somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, on my way to Istanbul. Updates from Turkey soon!
Hi. My name is J.D. Roth, and I am a writer. For the past few years, I’ve mostly written about money. I wrote a book called Your Money: The Missing Manual. I contribute the “Your Money” column every month to Entrepreneur magazine. Soon, I will resume writing weekly at Time‘s Moneyland blog. But I’m probably …
Most of you already know this, but I am in Peru. If you want to follow my adventures for the next few weeks, check out my travel blog, Far Away Places. I’ve had good wireless connections so far, and I’ve been writing a ton in my notebook. I’m transferring this writing to the web as …
Since I’ve decided to make Foldedspace a priority again, I realized that I should probably provide some context for new readers. Which is most of you. This blog has existed in one form or another since 16 March 2001 — and its roots go back to 1997. When you consider that I’ve had a number …

Hey, loyal and patient Foldedspace readers. As many of you know, I’ve been doing some soul-searching over the last few months. The end result is that I want to become more focused in my writing, and to pursue my passions with, well, passion. That means there’ll be lots of little changes in my life, most …
Hello, my friends. How are you? I know that it’s been a while since I’ve been here for you. I know that you’ve probably given up on me, and I don’t blame you. Deep in my heart, I have not abandoned foldedspace; I’m only on hiatus. Again. Still, I can foresee a time when I …
Rumor has it that several of you (Lisa and Will, for example) have been encountering an error when attempting to access foldedspace recently. I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, which may have resolved the issue (or it may not have). If you were getting an error, but now are not, could you …
We held a memorial service for Paul in Eugene yesterday. It was awesome. It was awesome to see so many people gather to celebrate his life. It was awesome to hear their memories of Paul. It was awesome to spend time with other people he had touched. I know that it’s trite to say, but …
