This page chronicles my current projects. I’ll provide information, timelines, and ways to help in this section. I do not take up projects unless I am going to give them my all. I take nothing I place here lightlight.

I will also chronicle past projects on this page. But now for the current ones.

Project Management and Promotion for Free Lunch Inc.

• Free Lunch has launched FriendQuilts, a Facebook Application that builds video and photo mosaics. It allows friends to collaborate to do anything from chronicling a summer trip to creating a dedication to your favorite pet.
• I personally am on the business development side of the project, specifically project management and promotion.

The Eternal Sphere, a Novel

• This is the fiction novel I’ve been writing for most of my time in college. It’s gone slow because there’s very little time during college (yes, I admit that I haven’t given it the singular attention it deserves to be complete). However, I’m 475 pages in and not more than another 50 to wrap up the story.
• Status: Two Chapters Remain, est. time of completion: May 31st
• Novel Summary: I’ll put this up soon.

Other things Ben is up to:

• Following the Blogosphere
• Following the Twitterverse
• Studying for the GMAT
• Improving my PHP programming skills
• Reading Practical Electronics for Inventors so that I can build and fix electronics with my own hands.
• Reconnecting and making new connections
• Studying Thai and solidifying my Spanish

Past/Previous Projects:

• Buck the Slump - A blog on the recession. I wanted to deliver recession news and, more importantly, personal stories and resources for those in trouble. But my lack of interest in some economic subjects was its downfall.
• LUEniverse - My first blog. It was a collaboration project between several dozen writers. It lasted a few months, but the blog’s lack of focus was killer.
• Aphon - Aphon Inc. was a company I co-founded during my Junior/Senior year, with a goal to provide online outlets for creativity, passion, and talent and to use competition to bring exposure and credit for people’s endeavors. My true first attempt at a start-up. Suspended due to the geographic distance of the founders, my lack of experience, and plain and simple cash. But each attempt at something is a learning experience, and I build upon it.
