My First Newspaper Article
As mentioned in a post last week, I’ve been very busy lately writing articles for a variety of publications. One of the articles was published last week and is the first newspaper article I’ve ever written. It’s a profile piece for the Dorchester Reporter about Dr. William Henderson, the principal at the full inclusion Patrick […]
Cash-flow free for nearly a year!
There was a lot of positive response to my post two weeks ago about living carlessly for a year, so today we’ll look at my financial situation and how I’ve been living with a very meager incoming cash-flow for the past year. Though a little bit of money flowed in here and there via various […]
My New Server’s First Test
Yesterday was a pretty big day here at Prose of a Pol. I woke up rather early yesterday, at 4:30 AM to be exact, and felt energized and ready to be productive after only four hours of sleep. I immediately began pumping out posts. First I published a trailer of a Battlestar Galactica remake that […]
Car-free for nearly a year!
For the past year I’ve been nearly car-free. I won’t say it’s been easy but my only regret so far is that I did not start driving less sooner! My unofficial count is that during the past 365 days I’ve either driven or been a passenger in a car a total of less than fifteen […]

No, I Am Banksy!
Just a quick note to let everyone know that contrary to the Mail on Sunday’s reports that Robin Gunningham is Banksy that I, Adam Pieniazek, am actually Banksy. Yes, even though I have nearly no ability to draw I am in fact the great vigilante stencil graffiti artist. Check it out, here’s me duplicating some […]

Being relatively smoke-free for more than six months now I’m here to tell you about the immense benefits of not smoking and how to quit smoking in less than one minute. There’s simply too much material to cover in one post so we’ll have a 3-4 part series about cigarettes, their dangers and how to […]
Great Weekend to All
I know I promised a post today with pictures and analysis but it’ll have to wait, I simply need a break from all the Celtics excitement. Oh, and this blog was also on fark.com the other day bringing the first huge wave of traffic to this site, I’m glad it was able to withstand the […]
War on Terror Ends!
Are you terrified? The question is of extreme relevance as the war on terror is all about you. A war on terror is a war on a word, a concept, an invisible entity that we can never truly kill. It represents a shift in war mentality. In recent history war has taken an us versus […]
Today is the 111th Day of the Year
Today is the 111th day of the year, and as such marks the year being 1/3 over in my calendar. As the day of the birth of myself occurs in the last 32/33 days of the year, I write off the totality of those days as one massive holiday. So, what have I gotten accomplished […]
My Redirects to WWW Work!
Yes! A long time ago (in this galaxy, not one far away), after reading Daniel’s WWW or no-WWW? post I implemented an Apache redirect in my .htaccess file to redirect my non-www address to www.adampieniazek.com/. It worked, but all non-www addresses would redirect to my homepage instead of to each individual page (for instance, adampieniazek.com/about/ […]
Why I Quit Smoking
I realized I was committing a slow, sad, drawn-out suicide, so in the second week of January of this year I quit. Cold turkey. Easiest thing I’ve ever done. Then three months later I quit my job at the cube farm and got to living. Whoever said quitters never win, never faced Big Tobacco. HT: […]
My Very Own Big Fat RSS Icon
Photoshop is ordinarily a big mystery to me. Not sure if it’s because of a lack of understanding of the program or my limitations as an artist (I can draw a mean stick figure, but that’s about it) but I just don’t find Photoshop very intuitive or easy to use. Well, thanks to darrenlondon’s video […]
Resignation from the State Street Corporation
Yup, that’s right; it is now official, I am no longer employed by the State Street Corporation. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna do what you all think I’m gonna do, which is, you know, FLIP OUT! That Tom Cruise quote from Jerry Maguire is a perfect example of how not to separate yourself from an […]

Done: Time for Beer
Though both my summer classes were enjoyable and educational, I’m wicked glad that I’m now officially done with both of them and can relax a little bit over the next month and a half. During the coming weeks you’ll see some assignments from these classes that I’ve been holding back (until they’re all posted). I’m […]
Undergraduate Summer 2007 Grades – University of Massachusetts at Amherst
The final grade for the Business and Its Environment undergraduate course at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst was published to the SPIRE web-site last week.

Top Hit for “Social Network Revolt” on Google!
In my daily googling today, I searched for “social network revolt” to find some articles on the Digg HD-DVD AACS key controversy that occurred at the beginning off the week. To my surprise, the post I wrote early in the morning on May 2nd, “A Social Network Revolt:; Numbers, Banned on Digg.com” came up as […]
