Shane Pearlman
I am an active freelance evangelist and a founder of FreelanceCamp. Along with speaking at conferences (SXSW, Future of Work, eBay), I love to write and have published numerous articles (Mashable, CopyBlogger, A List Apart, FreelanceSwitch).
When I'm not working I'm heavily involved in social good projects, focusing on helping local government run efficiently and transparently with financial responsibility. And when I sneak away, I surf some of the best waves in the world courtesy of living in Santa Cruz, CA and cuddle my lovely wife & daughter.

Paypal blocks your country?
We have had a few potential users contact us with the following error. As they try to checkout, paypal returns: “Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to” Of course, this is a digital product, and there is no shipping, so we are as baffled as you are. There doesn’t seem to be an obvious pattern as people from New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil etc have been …

Show Your Events in the Main Post Loop
A lot of people have asked how to get their events to show in the main post loop now that the open source plugin has also moved to a custom post type. The good news is that John, with a little inspiration from Justin Tadlock, just emailed me the basis for a solution. Looks like it needed a bit of work and I am updating it with a solution from Jonas that was posted at …

Becoming a Modern Tribe
Hi. I’m Shane. 10 years ago, I started a company of 1. It was a healthy mixture of dream and desperation. With a lot of love from some great people, and some sweat, it worked out. I solved some cool problems and surfed when most of my friends worked. Freelancing let me make my living from home and coffee shops. I supported myself and eventually a family. What started as a backup plan became a …

I’m gonna hug you and squeeze you and love …
We went to Gilroy Gardens this weekend & it was awesome!! Sassy got to ride a pony, swing in a giant strawberry, twirl in an artichoke and hug all the baby animals she could find. She was so excited to hug that baby bunny. That is her I’m so excited I have to scream face. She did scream. Tragically, bunicula did not return the sentiment, and nipped her right after that last shot.
