Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

RNC 2008: My Old Digital Camera Is History, Literally.
Photos By John Hoff
I talked to a guy at the Minnesota Historical Society by email, and he was glad to get my old camera which was damaged beyond use at RNC 2008...
I also sent him the shirt I bought at the Poor People's March on September 2, and that I changed into after getting gassed near Mickey's Diner. (It looks like the one the lady in the picture is wearing) He said my camera was a good representation of "blogger media," an interesting new trend.
So often things in a person's life get wrecked, lost or trashed...seldom can you give the pieces to a museum to be preserved and continue to play a useful role for society. I feel really good about it. But I'd still like to sue somebody.
