http://www.beninbrooklyn.com Thu, 24 Apr 2008 06:16:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I think it's pretty clear this blog has become defunct. It's been more than three months since I've posted, and there aren't any posts in the works. I've been thinking about what this blog is/was, why I had it and why it hasn't kept on going. Basically it comes down ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=428 Well, that was fun. It seems that I'm at my [blogging] best when I'm writing about Japan. I am not nearly as timely when I'm posting about Brooklyn, but a slow blog is better than no blog in my book. I didn't take that many pictures in December, the short ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=418 Well, 2,000 pictures, a month and a half, and five blog posts later, I've finally gotten through my trip to Japan. I either need to work out a more streamlined system for publishing my pictures and stories, or I've got to travel less. Without further ado, here is how the ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=392 I'm going to try to keep this on the briefer side of things, only because it's late and I have a lot of pictures to post. It's funny, posting about a trip that is quickly fading into the past. When I wrote the first entry, I still remembered every little ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=370 (Don't forget the extra photos on Flickr!) Mori's wedding took place on a Saturday, and after our marathon night and three hours of sleep in a hotel in Hiroshima I got back into the car with Mori's parents and Hiroko. We dropped Saori and Naoki off at the station and bus ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=354 At the end of my last post I had just escaped Tokyo and made my way to Osakikimijima. The city had overwhelmed me with people, noise, and chaos. I needed calm and quiet and getting to the ferry port in Takehara was a truly wonderful moment. The sea smell in ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=333 Welcome back to the Ben Duchac Hardly Updates His Blog show folks, we've got a good one for you here today. As you may or may not know I went back to Japan recently for my good friend Mori's wedding. I took a couple weeks off work and tried to ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=312 Yes, that is how far behind I have fallen. The pictures that I have been saving to post are from the first bit of July, and here we are in mid-August. I always know when it's the middle of the month because my unlimited metrocard runs out and I have ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=299 I realize it's been over a month since I last posted, that I haven't even posted what the kitchen looks like post-rennovation (it looks awesome!), and I don't really have any excuse. It's hot out, it's summer, and somehow when it's hot and summery out, the last thing I want ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=285 Last weekend I went somewhere! I feel like it's been a while since I went on an actual trip to do something, I don't count Connecticut or Montauk - I guess DC was the last real trip, and we all know what happened there - I nearly got maced and ... http://www.beninbrooklyn.com/?p=266
