Ken Edwards was a Fine Arts student at Bowling Green State University. While studying for a degree in Computer Art, he decided to take a detour. He now works for BGSU as the Database Specialist for Student Publications. His job also involves more then just database work though. He maintains the Mac based network for all of Student Publications, and acts as Webmaster for The BG News. Ken also provides technical support for Student Publications.

When Ken was a student at BGSU, he worked at Student Publications (ironic?) and did mostly the same that as he does now. The only difference is the loathing for Quark has grown exponentially over the years (Supporting QuarkXPress is one of those love-hate relationships).

In 2002 Ken started his own business, Meancode Media, LLC. In his first year in business for himself he has found there are far few too few hours in the day and that word of mouth is great for business.

In January 2003 Ken bought a PC (he is a Mac user, he has a tattoo to prove it) and thought the venture into the world of Windows warranted its own web site. Thus Breaking Windows was born. Ken loves blogging so much he has designed and is hosting 210 West, a webzine born out of the gut of the The BG News. He also contributes to BlogCritics, which brings over 370 bloggers together under one roof.

Ken does plan on finishing his BFA in Computer Art some day. Just not right now. There is no sense in rushing through life, especially when you are having fun.

Computers are not the only addictions, video games top the list as well. He has a MP3 player (iPod), digital camera (Minolta DiMAGE Xt) and a PDA (Tungsten T3) and he is not afraid to use them. Yes it is true, he is a geek (not a nerd) and he has no problems admitting it.

Being self employed Ken is always looking for new work, having time to accept the work is another thing all together. If you would like to employ his services please see his web site. He will let you know if he has the time, or not.
