Inmy own dog-eared copy of Vagabonding, I have notes, underlines, and highlights on practically every page, ranging from the tactical (how to pack intelligently, what to bring, what not to bring, where to go, etc.) to the philosophical (the Upanishads, how to slow down after a lifetime of rushing and caffeine, etc.). I also have a wish list of dream destinations on the inside cover, including places like Stockholm, Prague, Paris, Munich, Berlin, and Amsterdam. The list goes on and on.

The Tim Ferriss Show is one of the most popular podcasts in the world with more than one billion downloads. It has been selected for "Best of Apple Podcasts" three times, it is often the #1 interview podcast across all of Apple Podcasts, and it's been ranked #1 out of 400,000+ podcasts on many occasions. To listen to any of the past episodes for free, check out this page.

Another smile brought to me by Tim Ferriss. I will listen to the book I have credits already in my queue on my 3 hour drive today. Thanks, Tim! Best wishes for another fabulous adventure and thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

Your desire to help your followers never stops amazing and inspiring me. Since learning of who you were a few years ago I have actively used you and your friends as references for all the books that fill my shelves. This Book Club is a fantastic idea and I look forward to see which books I may have missed.

An additional question here would be, how much time do you average for processing 100 pages (as you probably take more notes from some books than others and also change reading speed depending on material)

Perfect timing. Will be going on a 6mos off-the-communication-grid sabbatical starting February, and will be traveling the whole time. No email or phone calls. No twitter or facebooking or other contact. Period. A bit of a scary thing to do after building my company for the last 18 years (now 900 people, and one heckuva lot of tasty beer).

LOVE that you are starting a book club! I just finished a great book somewhat in the same vein called, All Roads Lead West about a guy who is fed up with his corporate life and cuts ties to embark into the unknown.

Any tips on starting a local book club? Potential post? I wanna burn a 100+ books off the list within 6-12 months. Thinking a book club may amplify motivation. Or should I just go Joseph Campbell rambo and make it a full time job?

Since I wanna buy this book so bad (and am gonna buy all the next ones you indicate) could you please semd me a list of the next 5 books so I can order them in Amazon? The shipping from the US to Brasil is monumental.

Vagabonding changed my life. I took it with me on an 11-month RTW trip and have since bought 15 copies to give away to friends who were also thinking about longer trips. I optimistically reached out to Rolf to ask him for an interview, he kindly agreed to give us his time and his answers were truly wonderful: -potts-in-paris

Thanks for the recommendation, purchased and looking forward to the read. Love the idea of the like minded people sharing views in a book club format like this. Is it going to forum based or a separate link for the book club?

Lo and behold, now I am on the path to freedom and what is even more fantastic is the fact, that along the way I could change other peoples lives by sharing the principles I got from your great works.

Just wanted to leave a note saying how much I appreciate this! My boyfriend, Calvin, introduced me to the 4-Hour Body and he has since purchased the 4-Hour Workweek and the 4-Hour Chef. He admires you so much, Tim.

I purchased this book about a month ago and planning a 6 week trip to Thailand right after the Superbowl. I plan on blogging about the experience on a daily basis, but would like to see what people are most interested in learning about. What would be a great insight for readers to learn?

They were written on a laptop that is technically brand new, in the sense that it was only released recently. But everything from the word processor this text was written in to the CPU that ran it is decades old.

I am writing this on the Book 8088, an utterly bizarre $200-ish imported system that uses a processor from 1984, a custom motherboard design, and a bunch of cobbled-together parts to approximate the specs of the original IBM PC 5150 from 1981. It's running at a blazing-fast speed of 4.77 MHz, at least when it's not in TURBO MODE, and it has a generous helping of 640KB (yes, kilobytes) of system memory. (If you can't buy one now, keep an eye on the listing because it has blinked into and out of stock a few times over the last few weeks).

This is a weird computer, even by the standards of all the other weird computers I've gotten my hands on. Its keyboard is cramped, it comes with a stolen BIOS and stolen software, and everything is always just slow, slow, slow. Its speakers keep crackling unhappily at me for no readily apparent reason. Its tiny, low-resolution LCD screen is hopelessly dim.

Tech support is supplied by the AliExpress seller in China, with both sides relying on automated translation to bridge the language gap. And I do need a little tech support because the system isn't quite working as promised, and the hardware that is working mostly isn't configured optimally.

And yet! The Book 8088 remains an interesting technological achievement, a genuine IBM PC compatible that shares a lot in common with my first ancient, terrible personal computer. I'm not sure it's a good buy, even for retro-tech die-hards who eat and breathe this sort of thing. But that doesn't mean it hasn't been a ton of fun to explore.

In this article, we'll mainly be looking at the hardware of the Book 8088, including its historical roots and what it has been like to get it up and running. In part two, we'll take a deeper dive into vintage and modern software to explore exactly what you can do on this kind of machine in 2023.

Intel's first x86 processor was the 8086, which was released in mid-1978. It was the company's first 16-bit processor at a time when most were still 8-bit, and it could execute assembly code written for Intel's earlier 8008, 8080, and 8085 chips. But this same relatively forward-looking design made it more expensive to use, so it didn't become the chip that would help the x86 architecture take over the computing world.

That honor went to 1979's 8088, a cut-down version of the 8086 that could execute the same code and remained a 16-bit chip internally but which used an 8-bit external data bus. Halving the speed at which the CPU could communicate with the rest of the system obviously hurt performance, but it also meant that manufacturers could continue using it with parts made for older, cheaper 8-bit computer designs.

The original x86 PC was a project that was turned around inside of a year by a small team within IBM, and a decision to use an "open" architecture (not in the modern "open-source" sense but in the "modular, non-proprietary hardware with expansion slots that any other company can develop for" sense) was done partly out of expediency. It shipped with an 8088, a 5.25-inch drive for 360KB 5.25-inch floppy disks, no hard drive, and 16KB of RAM. The original press release quaintly calls them "characters of memory" and numbers them in bytes; the MacBook Air I'm editing this on has 17,179,869,184 characters of memory.

The IBM PC was a huge success, so big that a market of "clones" rose up to run its apps and imitate its architecture, thanks to its commodity parts and reverse-engineered versions of IBM's proprietary BIOS. The clone-makers frequently undercut IBM on price, and they eventually started improving the hardware faster than IBM did (I've read former Compaq CEO Rod Canion's book on the topic, Open, which is bone-dry but an interesting firsthand account). And Microsoft stopped collaborating with IBM, mostly abandoning IBM's OS/2 project to pursue its own Windows business, selling software that could work on IBM systems and clones alike. By the time Windows 3.1 was released in 1992, the outlines of the PC as we know it today were clearly visible. And all modern Intel and AMD PCs retain, to some degree, compatibility with the original 8088.

The IBM PC's design is simple enough that retro-tech hobbyists have successfully created modern open-source versions of its hardware and BIOS. The most notable work comes from Sergey Kiselev, who maintains an open-source BIOS and some open-source designs for motherboards and ISA expansion cards; newer chips have made it possible to condense the IBM 5150, its various expansion cards, and even a couple of newer amenities into a board small enough to fit into the Book 8088's tiny, chunky frame. The Book 8088 benefits from all of this work, though; at a bare minimum, its creators are violating the GPL license by modifying Kiselev's BIOS and removing his name from it (we confirmed this by looking at the BIOS files sent by the seller).

"While my work is open source, and I don't mind people using it in their projects, I do care deeply about the principles of open source software development and licensing," Kiselev wrote to Ars. "And whoever manufacturers this machine bluntly violates copyright law and licensing."

The Book 8088 also ships with MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.0, along with other software; at this point, all of this stuff is broadly classified as "abandonware" and is freely available from WinWorldPC and other sites without protest from Microsoft, but allowing old software to stay up for historical and archival purposes isn't the same as inviting people to sell it on new hardware.

In Change by Design, Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, the celebrated innovation and design firm, shows how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business. Change by Design is not a book by designers for designers; this is a book for creative leaders who seek to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization, product, or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.
