Mankato


Motorcycles for sale

May 1, 2008 - 11:55am — Mathias Baden

Twice last week, I went to look at motorcycles. My curiosity about what it would be like to have my own street bike took me to Cambridge and Mankato.

A friend of mine bought a Yamaha R6 for $8,000, including tax, plus another $350 for a
helmet, jacket, and gloves. To me, that's a hefty bill, but one could
spend a lot more.

I'm somewhat serious about someday getting a bike, but probably
not anytime soon.

The Jordan School Board renewed the district’s agreement with Minnesota State University at Mankato to allow student teachers in the district.

The college asks that the board renew the agreement every couple of years, Superintendent Larry Kauzlarich said.


My friends in Mankato -- boy, they shoot good photos

January 12, 2008 - 10:55am — Mathias Baden

Two of my friends from Mankato are the main photographers for the Free Press. These are annual award winners, fantastic photogs with keen eyes. I've learned a lot from them, but I can't do half of the stuff they can do with the camera.

Check out their favorite photos of 2007 at http://static.cnhi.zope.net/flashpromo/mankatofreepress/flashpromo/slideshows/07_1230photogfavs/index.html.


Why do I love little newspapers?

April 12, 2007 - 2:28pm — Mathias Baden

I've written for bigger newspaper than the Jordan Independent. But I really like the little ones.


Promoting l'il Jordan

October 20, 2006 - 7:07am — Mathias Baden

Wouldn't it be great if Jordan promoted itself better? There are some free and interesting ways of doing that, I think. I'm writing this blog because I thought of one example.
