- What is Where Is Orman?
- Where Is Orman? is a live, opt-in location tracker for Orman Beckles — known as The Hi-Tech Nomad. When Orman starts a sharing session, the homepage embeds a real-time map of his current location. When he is not sharing, the page shows an offline state.
- Who is Orman Beckles?
- Orman Beckles is a technologist, author, instructor, jet setter, and podcaster. He is the creator of The Hi-Tech Nomad brand and writes and speaks about AI, automation, and emerging technology.
- Why does Orman share his location publicly?
- It started as a proof of concept around proximity and serendipity. Orman often acts as a technical firefighter for friends and colleagues; sharing his location lets the people who need him find him faster, and replaces the endless 'where are you?' loop on social nights.
- Is the tracking always on?
- No. Sharing is opt-in, time-boxed, and controlled by Orman. Every share session expires automatically. If the homepage shows the offline state, Orman is not sharing — there is no hidden mode.
- What technology powers the live map?
- The live map is embedded from Glympse, which Orman starts manually for each session. The site polls a status endpoint to detect whether a session is currently active.
