Went to the John Kerry Meetup…

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

and I’ve got pictures. It might be another day before I get the pictures up though. I’ll also post my thoughts on the very passionate discussion I had with the three other people who showed up. I’ve outlined my “report” on the Meetup, but I doubt I’ll finish writing it tonight. I’m planning a series [...]

I’ll be attending a John Kerry Meetup here in Minneapolis, MN on Thursday, April 22nd. (Visit http://kerry2004.meetup.com/ to learn more about John Kerry Meetup day.)

Favorite quotes about the workplace ….

Monday, April 19th, 2004

I used to have a girlfriend named Shawn who said this about her job: “Where I work … I probably should wear combat boots and carry a shovel.” Too cute.

What’s new with me….

I’m approaching this blog entry as though I’m sitting in a coffeehouse with someone I just met and I’m trying to impress them. It isn’t a formal essay on anything in particular. I’m trying to be myself and trying to demonstrate what a colorful, fascinating, and thoughtful person I hope that I am. Maybe I’ll [...]

Correction: Bus Strike Not Quite Resolved.

Wednesday, April 14th, 2004

Contrary to what I said in my last post, the Minneapolis/Saint Paul bus strike has NOT quite been resolved. Click here to get an update. My taxes have been resolved at least. I’m pretty tired tonight. However, I’ve assembled a long list of topics I want to blog about and plan to post here with [...]

Macintosh-related problems resolved

Tuesday, April 13th, 2004

The Mac-related problems mentioned earlier in the blog have finally been resolved. Tonight I’m working on wrapping up my taxes. Later this week I’ll be back blogging. The Twin Cities bus strike appears to have ended. Yaaay!

This made me smile….!

What’s wrong with America today….

Tuesday, April 6th, 2004

Much of what is wrong with America today is explained by this relatively simple (and very well done) comic strip….. http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0353/sutton.php It’s called denial….pure and simple.

Ben Adams Sings The Hits Of The ’70s

Tuesday, April 6th, 2004

http://benadamsarts.com/wp-content/downloads/jenny.mp3 is a song I sung about my ex-girlfriend. It’s called “Jenny’s Cakes”. It’s about the carrot pancakes she makes. I wrote the lyrics myself and sung it to the tune of Rick Springfield’s “Jesse’s Girl”. People seem to think it’s very entertaining. Download it and check it out already.

Rain or shine, I’ll be here blogging.

Tuesday, April 6th, 2004

Okay…first of all, I still need to fix the Mac-related problems that I mentioned in the last post. Some Mac users tell me everything looks just fine, but I’m still noticing problems when I look at the site on some Macs here in town. I don’t see a wait of more than a week for [...]
