hey huh, if you are willing to sub indy 500 for f1, i can hook you up
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.
Thanks Jayson.
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!
Oh. You would have to click on my name to see the pic. I just figured that out. But you probably knew that already…haha;;
Well, hope you found it funny! : )
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
I’d like to talk to you Ben. I have a site I’m launching similar to your list.
I’m available via email and twitter: @robdocherty
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.
I would add “See U2 live in concert in Dublin” to your “Do this once” list !
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
LOL
Please add “Consider rescuing Bob DiPasquale and HumorQ.com from obscurity”. Just do it once anyway….please.
I’ll keep an eye out on this page to see if you just add it and cross a line through it.
You haven’t seen a space launch yet?! Dude take your family down to my home town of Cocoa Fl and watch a launch when you can. While you’re there try taking up surfing
Add “Bali Island” you will love it, it’s the most striking exotic place that you probably want to spend the rest of your “early retirement” life there.
Move that trip to Greece up on your priority list. I went to Volos to visit a friend and it was amazing, plus they really know how to grill lamb.
visiting amsterdam will not be so difficult? Just fly to schiphol (ok now it is difficult), but let’s say 15 februari. The 16the you can attend our wonderfull event in amsterdam (even talk a little) and I will arrange a guide and tour in amsterdam.
Attend the Daytona 500!
Spain should be in your “Places to visit” list. Food,wine,cava, weather, beaches, architecture…
(and let us know)
Definitely you should come
Glacier National Park should definitely be in your list.
Running a half marathon around Angkor Wat is definitely worth it
Cat-ski in steamboat springs, Colorado. An extremely freeing experience
I think you might enjoy a ride the Orient Express…Historic train cars (especially if you wish to ‘unplug’ a bit and spend quality time with the wife), beautiful scenery and many countries …

No I haven’t been… but… someday…
To help you achieve a listed goal…Here is a list of Balloon Fests…
www.hotairballoon.com/showall.taf
This one is huge… PBS did a special on it…
www.balloonfiesta.com/
Of course, I would prefer it if you came to the Jackson one in Michigan (where I grew up)… but if it doesn’t fit your schedule, there are lots to choose from.
From someone that just got back from Greece, make sure you go during the summer!
