Updates and Matthew Missing

Well, its is 7am and I am still updating stuff for the brand new ver 1.7. Nobody really new what it was going to be so I hope people are surprised and really happy. It took a lot of work this evening in order to set up the search engine and voice and music messaging system.

Tomorrow, Terry is going skiing and I kind of wnat to go but now I will be for sure to tired. I am also going to start promoting the site to people. I willl begin by passing flyers out on elmwood and doing some video interviews on the street to get more people to visit. I also, think the radio needs more organized shows.

I am really most sad that Matthew no longer particiates in the site. I am not sure why he has stopped but it makes me sad. He used to be one the more interesting journals. Maybe he'll change now that he has his new super halogen fish tank light. He really seems to have suffered a bug setback when his salt water tank starting having all those problems.

Executioner

Terry and I are having a debate about the role of the excutioner in the State Prison Systems. I am saying that not only the executioner, but all people that work on death row are most definately sick individuals. Terry says they are most likely poor people from the country with no other job alternatives beside Walmart.

I think they are guilty of murder and can make the choice to move within our large country and find another job. Maybe a lower paying job but definately something less horrific. Especially if they were working in the prison and lived in the country. Working there as a prison guard would afford them the ability to save enough money to move to another city and start over.

I cannot justify that any environmental situation can alleviate the responsibility of organized and mechanized mass murder.

On another note, if you check executioner.com

it takes you to mastertrader.com

- a day trading site.

Casino Niagara

We were here to celebrate the end of the semester and graduation for Rachel and Desi. Rachel, Terry, Holly, and I lost money, Desi won $75.

I definately thought I could like gambling. It started by dropping $1 in a machine and getting $9.

Next I lost $25. Now I hate it. My advice, don't gamble, however, definately come for free drinks and the earth-unfriendly buffet. There were seriously piles of shrimp, crab legs, organic mesclux mix salad, etc that the waitress told us would all be "thrown out" in 10 minutes, because it was almost closing time.

It seems crazy that so much food can go to waste, especially in such a poor place, as Rachel noted in her journal. I mean Niagara Falls is so poor that they decided to turn their convention center into a casino.

Lemonheads Inferior or Cheaper

Lemonheads are still only $.25 after the 20 some odd years since my childhood.

Does anyone else think its weird. Well, Holly, my smartest frined just figured out the missing link in this mystery. Remember, as a kid how lemonheads were made out beeswax and it was really weird that you were eating and thinking that bugs made it.

I am sure some of my friends thought about that. At least my brother, right? Anyways, They are now, no longer made of beewax but carnuba wax. Sound like a real price dropper. But what is carnuba wax afterall?

Well the google #1 search return for it is this:

••Carnuba Wax in Automotive Care•• Compare Prices & ...

Car Wash Chemicals: Liquid Carnuba Wax (1 gal)

Here is the actual definition from Soap and More:

The exudate from the leaves of the Brazilian wax palm treet used as a texturizer in foundation makeup, mascara, cream rouge, lipsticks and deadorant sticks.

Here is the official site of Ferrara Pan, the makers of Lemonheads and other tasty cleaning product substitutes.

Notice they changed many of the names of the products. What used to be Johnny Appleseeds are now Appleheads, and Alexander the Grape is now Grapehead. Maybe Michael will know how longs that has been affect, I sense a buyout. He is by the way the specialist on old Candy items and the only owner a an original Milk container gum pack from Fay's ->Eckert.

What does this mean for food? Is it, that for a good price, we will even feed our children cleaning products ingredients! I hope America has not come to this. Maybe we should just start feeding them pertoleum. It would be great for Haliburton.

Visiting UB

Well I am off to Ub for some unfinished business. Then I am going to spend the evening chillaxing (j. Ho 1998) and visiting Maria.

I ending up making a seahorse. I like it cause the tail curls on demand, as a good seahorse tail should.

Here is the seahorse Daddy teaching the baby seahorses to smoke cigarettes. This should not be mistaken for a pro-smoking advertsiement for children. It is only intended for seahorses. Which, of course cannot smoke underwater anyways. Unless maybe they are smoking those new eclipse cigarette, because I would bet money they could smoke underwater.

Check out eclipses cigarette, they are really scary.

Working

This is part of what I am working on. I am trying to make avatars for a virtual reality program. In the program the user only has control over the hands and the head. The mask/face rotates are the neck. The hands rotate from the shoulder.

I actually had to scan in my clothes for this one.

journal via steakout

I am at jim's steakout thinking how cool it is that I am in contact with rachel again via the site and that I can contact the site via the sidekick. Its like living with psychic powers. I hope everyone else has as much fun with the site as I do. Here is a pic of Tery at Jim's Steakout, one of our elmwood favorites. Well not really but it was closer than Pano's, truly one of our elmwood favorites. It took the pic with the sidekick Camera, which seems to do really well in bright light, like the circus lighting at Jim's.

Maybe we should do an audio based, aerial projected restaurant review page. What do you'l think. I think its time for more people to join. Invite your friends.

Where Am I Again

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.
