I am back working on school projects. At least I finished grading everything at this point. Now I only have to finish my own stuff which is due on Thursday. Sounds like a 48 stretch of work. I am honestly sick of it and would rather be working on adding new features to the site. But I will be busy jumping through flaming hoops. If you want to get a hold of me try the Sidekick links under my userPic and IM me or send me an email there.

I am so excited about Rachels aerial photo find. This is seriously going to be sweet.

So thanks to the sidekick I am rwachable almsot 24/7 via sidekick. At first I thought I'd hate it but now it's began to extend my like in a very cyborgian way. I also always lets me acess the web so when my mind is failing, I can remind myself who I am and what time of day/weather situation I am supposed to be having in the real world.

Its is the third day of hearing about the lord of thr rings. I decided I don't want to see the mvie because I will be to busy celebrating the capture of sadam insane. I mean who wouldn't.

For some reason I don't feel the same kind of exhileration that I think my grandparents felt after V-day.

In my Intro to Digital Media Arts class, I assigned a blog to each student. While I did not regulate the content, they were supposed to use it as a way to publish their thoughts to the web in a forum where other students in the class and myself would read them. It was by no means a personal place and was readily available on the web.

It was a sort of a hold over until they learned to program web pages for themselves later in the semester. While most students were able to complete this sucessfully, some did not. I decided to include an excerpt here so that you can see what I am talking about. This entry is written by what I consider to be a spoiled-rich white kid.

This is what he wrote:

Life Sucks but the ML is sweet. It's about the only thing in my life that is consistantly sweet and never sucks. Even other things that are cool suck sometimes. Like Hockey's cool till you get hurt and sex is cool till you get shit on. (Haha, no I never got shit on but that would seriouslly suck) But the ML is forever the shit! That's why I'm an ML Gangsta for life! High till I Dizie!

Seriouslly though the ML is the coolest fucking thing ever. I can't wait for snowboarding this year. Fuck Yeah! 3 6 with Luke and sweet vids with the N's. And if we go on a snowboarding trip, we're doing the collegiate package to Killington which equals parties, snowboarding, and package. I'd rather go someplace warm but oh well this should still be sweet. We went there four years ago and it was tits money, especially the 10.25 mile run. That laster forever and I seriouslly almost blew a load like 10 times becuase I couldn't get over the astounding length of the run. After sking 10 second runs your whole life, 30 minutes blew my mind, and my load.

This weekend I have no plans. I'm gonna show Zac my car, hopefully he'll buy it, but that's it. Next weekend I'm making a skateboard rack with my dad but he can't do it this weekend becuase his eyes aren't ready after his surgery. What a homo, I'm just kidding my Dad's the shit.

So if anyone wants to party or play hockey IM me, NutBustenWildMan. Haha, amazing name. Anyways, I'll probably hang with the ML Crew. Maybe I'll go to Fredonia. I think it's awesome when we all hang out but lately that's been tough. So whenever it happens it's totally kick ass sweet.

Things with the X suck. It sucks becuase I still care about her. Even though it was my decision to break up it still sucks. And she met some dude that she talked to for awhile and sat next to in a movie that they were seeing with mutual friends. And it just sucks. In my fantasy world I would like to place a bomb under his car that would only take out a tire on the thrughway so he could have some horrible fear before he dead from an anonymous sniper when he got out of his car relieaved and unharmed.

As far as where I should go from here, I don't know. I have things in my life that I need to do like school and work. But other then that I don't know how to carry myself. I'm confused as far as what I want or what will make me happy. I guess nothing, so fuck it, I don't need anythiing to be happy I'll just do it. I still have my friends and they're the shit. They've always been there. Besides, I still have my nuts and a cock, and that's all I need.

This is so freakin' sick. I seriously cannot believe this is the CNN quote of the day. She gets it way to easy just cause she is black and a woman. At least in my opinion. I really think if she was a man people would be more critical of her but feel bad because she is the token minority in the royal court. This woman is as messed up as King George himself. How can she not be messed up, she had an oil tanker named after her.



Tonight's quote
"There's nothing I am worse at than long-term planning. I have never run my life that way. I believe that serendipity or fate or divine intervention has led me to a series of wholly implausible steps in my life. And I've been open to those twists and turns because I didn't have a long-term plan."
-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice

I have figured out a production pipeline for recording and publishing our live radio shows to archives on the supercomp that Terry can easily add with no programming and you can easily access and download. Simply click on the e-radio archive link under any userPic.

The current selection is a simple test of the system. Each MP3 is 1 min 30 sec long. In the future, archives will each be 10-30 min shows. If you would like a recording show of you own hosted within the archive. Please email me.

I finally got my sidekick cam and set up the sidekick mobile access page. You no longer need to use a special address you just need to go to elmwoodstrip.com and the server simply decides if you are on a sidekick or not and then directs you accordingly.

I wish I could quit school and start working on development for it.

So for once I am watching TV, well the news at Nonna's. It was the local news, and they were talking about how our very own elwmoodstrip depends on suburbanites to come down and shop.

To draw people to the "glamour" of the strip this "shopping" season, they are bringing in cariages with horses. Terry said they had it before, but that I don't leave the house enough to remember in the winter.

Its just another step in the yuppification of (e:strip). I remember it somehow being different . . .

They were also accepting food donations at avrious locations in buffalo. Then when they listed the places it was only malls. In fact every mall. It made me wonder if it was really about making it easy to get food to people or a thinly veiled attempt to make people shop more. Who brings food to the freakin' mall. If it was really about food donations they shoukd have stationed them at grocery stores and not just malls.

So the new mobile link to post a journal is elmwoodstrip.com/mobile. It lets you log in and post a journal via a mobile. Not sure how it works on a phone yet. I probably needs to be reformatted for a phone screen. If some has one please check it out and tell me what needs fixing.

In the future, I will make it so you can also send pictures. In the next couple days I will also make web formatted journal pages. Right now you can only view the elmwood journal. At least on my device due to a lack of javascript processing on the journal selection jump menu.

Now if I could just get my stupid 3D projects out of the way, I would be all set.

Me and holly are still up. This is not my first 6:00am journal but it is definately the most awake. Lots of traffic, says holly.

Bang does a garbage can outside.

This is the first journal entry that I am writing from my sidekick. I figure that one I get the camera attachment, I will be a journal posting maniac. I was so excited to see how many people played it for the star today.

Someday soon, I will no longer be able to read everyone's journal anymore. I really wish I could just but sidekicks for everyone I know.

I also got the sidekick hooked up to the comp via USB and I got to see the live debugging information.

Tomorrow, me and Terry will be at Nonna's, Iin the evening everyone might go to the COOP house 208north party. I can't go cause I am alergic to dogs and cats. Oh well, that's nothing new.
