Hodgman's journal #2: Entrepreneurythmics
Hodgman carried around a big pile of notebooks in which he scribbled his every thought. Be forewarned, though -- 99% of his thoughts were completely and utterly devoid of sanity. This one describes his teen years, in which he accumulated relative wealth and fame in the hobo jungle by purchasing hobo goods for next to nothing and reselling them to other hobos for slightly further away but still pretty close to nothing.
