NYC in the Winter

So it seem sthat it snowed a lot in NYC last weekend. People were freaking out whenever I read about it. I kind of just laugh at it cause they can't possibly know how bad it can really be. And what's up with Buffalo having no snow. That kind of freaks me out global warming style. Jessica (hodown) moved to NYC to escape it and look and see for yourself.



Where did I get this photo from? I was searching on google querying "torn photo." One of the results was the page of an artist who had a blog where this picture was. The reason it was linked to him was because of his gallery of "torn shirt photos." It seems that he started a blog a while back in order to promote his art/life. Then he decided to start making and selling pron of himself. I found it quite amusing. It kind of reminded me of the underwear sales business, for those of you that rememeber that.

I am going to include a link to his site because I think it is another demonstration of how people use blogs as a virtual reflection of themselves on the web. It is not all nudity but the parts that are, are pretty riske.

Once on the site you can choose where to go - so ITS ALL IN YOUR HAND, I CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILTY FOR ANY ONE WHO LOOKS AT THIS AND IS OFFENDED BY THE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL OR GETS CAUGHT AT WORK. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF.

For the rest of you that will find this amusing or an interesting study into wweb phenomena check it out:

Computer Roots

Here I am proving that I was a computer dork since a young age. It all started with my VIC 20 which made way for the Commodore 64. Unfortunately, that was it for me, my parents never made the move to the Commodore 128 or a PC until I was way to old and out of the loop. Maybe if they had I would have been a programmer with lots of money instead of the pre-professor with a German and Fine Arts degree.

more pics from mommy

This is a little weird but Jessica and I were on a Vegan kick for lots of years and I think the lack of protein started to affect my head. This was my favorite logo from the hardline kids. It was basically, stop eating meat or die. Hahahahaha


This is a complete opposite. Kristina took this as a self portrait for photo class. A t least I think so, somehwo over like 10 years it ended up at my parents house and now its on the web. Its one of those things where people say you never know when your pic is going to unknowningly show up on the web. Sorry Kristina, I couldn't resist.

Jessica and I

My mom sent me a bunch of pics that I thought would be interesting to some people that read my journal.
This picture is at Jessica's mom's wedding back in the 90s. Its hard to believe seeing as in the pic we look like its a whole other era. Damn she looks cute.


This one is of a McDonalds, after Jessica and I destroyed it in teenage fits of rage. We broke the drivethrough completely, spray painted the building, and then proceded to salt all of the gardens at the McDonalds with rocksalt. You should have seen the garden about two weeks later when everything died and turned crispy brown. I loved 1996!

Thank You Germans

So I bought the T-mobile sideKick that I keep talking about. Now I need a sideJob to pay for the sideKick. I seems like the logical next step in my cyborgian evolution. I will be able to communicate from anywhere. Thats pretty exciting, even though its $29.00/month. Its kind of like the next level of communication. I am most excited about developing content for it on my new server. Here is what elmwood could look like on on. I am most excited about being able to updat emy journal from anywhere.



I actually debated betwen this and a crrazy bluetooth phone that let my laptop on the internet. The problem with the phone was that it had no keyboard. This I would have to type every message with the stupid number pad. That just was not happening for me. Especially, if I was going to type whole journal entries.

Some people complained that there was not a lot of content avaible for the sideKick but it lets you visit any web site so I figured they were limited only in that they could not create their own content. Also, it doesn't let you sync with you comp. But that only if you expected to sync via USB wire or bluetooth. I can just make a web site which retains all my info and which I can update too. I am seriously freakin' excited.

The other downfall of the sideKick was the lack of j2ME java but they just signed a contract with Sun Microsystems to get it on the sideKick. So basically, it is all I every really wanted for this year.
