do this once and life goals painted a new perspective to the colorful, dynamic, interactively engaging articulator at @ wordcamp. best speaker awarded by me. I asked U how u will remember me in the sea of wordies, u commented, “say something I won’t forget” I replied ” a man w/ a million ideas” better yet I concocted a memorable token made from a pencil and a sticker. I appreciate your time Ben, 4 all of us @ Wordcamp Denver 09, truly enjoyed listening, learning and knowing the difference u made by sharing your passion, innovation, creativity and ur way. inspired me, always another great idea. hope to speak with you soon.

Hello. I made you a LOLben.
Read a Time article about you and I couldn’t help myself. (See link)
Please excuse the horrible photo-shopping skills.
Have a nice day!

Ben, really enjoyed your talk at StartupDay conference today.
For hot air balloon rides, I recommend Yangshuo, China to be the ideal place for it – Sunrise or Sunset. Don’t settle for anything less than that

Cool list. Ever considered riding the trans-siberian railway? You’d get to go clear across Russia, skirt Mongolia, and end up a stone’s throw from Japan, and see it all from the ground, eat all the foods as they change along the way. I’m a big fan of trying to get from point A to B without leaving the ground.

Quite an inspirational guy, hope you can
a few more thinks on your list before you shuffle off this mortal coil.My first thing on my list of things to do before I die is write a list of things to do before I do…
…that is quite a good idea for a new t-shirt actually
