What is j5mc?

j5mc is a project to address the issues of the day from a polite, progressive standpoint, and highlight political and economic issues in North Dakota and the region.

But j5mc isn’t really about navel-gazing; it’s about advocating responsibility and change, to make our state a better place to live; a place that our young people can afford to stay in.

North Dakota is a state with vast untapped potential – j5mc wants to explore the opportunities for the future, as well as addressing current problems.

But what is “j5mc”?

A old nickname for Johnathan cooked up by hip-hop fans, and a conveniently small URL for a blog, wouldn’t you say?

What is that flower on your header?

The flower depicted is Rosa arkansana, the Wild Prairie Rose. It’s our state flower. The  geometric version you see is a poor simulacrum, but the Wikipedia article has a very nice real-life image.

How busy is Johnathan at the moment?
Very.
