Reconciling with the Digital World…and Hello from Ohio

By Justin Jones • Oct 13th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

Well, It’s that time of year again and I’m back in Ohio, grinding out the travel fair circuit.
First of all, I have to apologize for the brief hiatus. In a cloud of exhaustion, made foggier by the previous night’s consumption of The Glenlivet,I managed to leave my laptop power cable and my cellphone charger in […]



Stateside

By Justin Jones • Sep 21st, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

just a quick update.
I made it safely back to the states and I’m currently in Los Angeles.  All in all, the Malaysia trip was great — a perfect mixture of work and party.
I just updated my Flickr account with the pics — they arent ordered or captioned yet, but check out the slide show here!
actually, […]



Where the hell is Justin Jones?

By Justin Jones • Jul 26th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

Where? When?
I can hardly answer those questions myself.
It’s not that I’ve been traveling so much that I forget where I am or where I’ve been (that happens more than you’d believe). It’s more because I’ve been lost in my own head, in a daze of web design and bourbon.
I left Los Angles […]



Catch up..

By Justin Jones • Jun 11th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

It’s been a while since my last post. I feel like I’m eternally apologizing for not updating this blog. For the last few months, I’ve been on a super-nomad rampage. When you’re living life, it’s hard to make time to blog – and I’ve certainly been living life.
I left LA approximately two […]



Public Displays of Transportation

By Justin Jones • Apr 11th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

Public Transportation seems to be a tricky beast. Some cities just get it right. The trains are clean, the buses have simple, yet comprehensive routes, and the price is right. Then there are the losers of this battle of the people-movers.
Los Angeles actually has an interesting story behind its (lack of) public transportation. […]



LA, SC, and AZ

By Justin Jones • Apr 9th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

I woke up early to pick up a cargo van for a distribution run, up north. I called Enterprise to schedule my pickup, only to find out that my license had expired and that they wouldn’t rent me a cargo van without a valid ID – great start to a long morning.
To be fair, I […]



probably the worst week of my life

By Justin Jones • Mar 17th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

I could feel it in the tingle of my skin – like every hair on my arm was straining to uproot itself and escape this poisoned body. I was coming down with something terrible. I could feel it in my bones and in my lungs.
The timing was all wrong. I was driving […]



home sweet homeless

By Justin Jones • Feb 3rd, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

My flight back from Israel was long and uncomfortable. I had spent that morning riding horses, mountain biking, and four-wheeling in the Maktesh Ramon, and my back was not happy to be constrained to an El Al economy seat for sixteen hours. I was lucky to have an entire row to myself on […]



in the desert

By Justin Jones • Jan 28th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

The phone rang at 4:45AM and I shot out of bed and grabbed the receiver. The person on the line said something in Hebrew and hung up.

It took me a minute to realize that I was in Israel, in the desert, and that the phone the phone call was my wakeup call. I […]



Jerusalem

By Justin Jones • Jan 28th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

The city of Jerusalem is unlike any place I’ve ever been. The layers of history run deep in this city, and it’s hard to fully appreciate it all in just two days. It is a place where history and religious stories come alive, and it is a nexus of religions and cultures. There are […]
