Rudolph Gallery And Sons

Today, we headed out to get more flowers for our award winning garden. I am not so much into
gardening as Matthew and Terry but I am interested in food plants and spices. While we we here I found 18 kinds of mint, and 6 kinds of basil
and yes, the pineapple mint really tastes like pineapple.

mint types: watermint, spearmint, silver, pineapple, perfume, peppermint, orange, mountain, lime, lemon, ginger, corsican,curly, catmint, candy, blue balsam, blackberry, apple

basil type: african, cinamon, italian, lemon, spicy globe, thai

Below are some pics I just took of matthew and Terry contemplating their purchases.

Here are some shots of the mint and basil varieties.

This place is huge and they seem to have everything. It is also nice that it's local and not just another trip to homedepoop.

It's located at 2722 Clinton. Take the 190 N to Clinton, go left and it will be on your left. Check it out.

Here is my favorite the Dahlia.

Now that we have such a huge readership

We have a forum here that people seem to pay attention to. The next question becomes, how do we draw more writers and how do we begin to critically analyze our community, both the virtual and real versions, so that it makes sense.

We should use it to inspire the betterment of our community, maybe even form a citizens action committee.

Artists, you can also use this as a venue for talking about your work.

Soon, I will be also developing new modules for peer restaurant review, local business reviews, and (e:peeps) (social networking.) Any other ideas? Just post them on your journal.

I heart XML and RSS

XML and RSS rock my world. Now you can also have your world rocked by RSS newsfeeds thanks to some slick evening programming of mine. Check out the news journal [inlink]news,329[/inlink] for more information and find out how to explore RSS.

The best part about this whole RSS newfeed thing is that many people making the feeds are not even the creators of the sites. They are people doing something called scraping. Scaping is taking important content off a another web site and sending it as an RSS feed. For example, a news site minus the advertisments.

Rss is also very mobile because the feeds are little. Using the mac program on the news journal, you can even read your RSS feeds on you iPod. I read them on my phone. They are fast, fun, and efficient and you can find hundreds of RSS feeds out there to subscribe to. Also try searcing on feedster, the online search engine for RSS feeds. Sharpreader

can search feedster

right from the program.

Avenge September 11th

What is up with this sign at the poster shop on Bird and Elmwood. Does anyone else find it offensive and uneccessary in 2004, three years after the fact and after we have seen what horrible side-effects that type of attitude has on international stability and peace.

Elmwood Wireless Network

I am out and about with the sidekick and have lots to say I guess. I am eating a Pano's with matthew and lisa.

Here's what I've been thinking about, at Pano's.

Wireless Elmwood Network
First, I heard that caffe aroma has wireless internet, at least I think I did.

Does anyone know if it is free? We have free internet by the (e:strip) headquaters on elmwood and lafayette and I think Off the Wall has it to.

Anyone interested in helping develop a huge free internet zone before some corporate crackhead does? Let's set up a meeting. I think we could do it really cheaply and maybe even get a grant if we tie it in with the site and community somehow.

I imagine the site being the homepage for the giant network. It would be a great way for a free network to represent the people on it and not some lame advertising.

The worst case scenario, is some corporates make the site and when you sign on, you are bombarded with corporate propaganda / advertisements such as M&T offering you free checking. I think we need to act before it happens. Imagine, it would be like living in a virtual pop-up zone. I bet you could get whiplash from the pop-up waves.

Which brings me to the point that I think elmwood would be much better with a giant parking lot on one end or both ends, and then have a limited traffic zone. When I lived in Flensburg, Germany for school, they had a terrific area like this. People might say there is no room for parking, I say just use up part of the street. Deliveries can happen at night. Similar to what Ithica has downtown.

The streets here suck anyways. Look at the picture I captured below as I practically trip over the pot-holes writing this on my way down the street.

Anyone, care to discuss this?

Trash Can

Who the hell stole my trash can, I hope you
die. Nothing is trashier than stealing a garbage can.

I want it back, if I find you with my garbage can the wrath of the
digital mafia will consume you.

Please bring it back to my house before Thursday.

Forever Elmwood Info

Robin,
In response to [inlink]robin,179[/inlink] .

A lot of (e:people) seem to have anomosity towards forever elmwood, especially when it involves the Elmwood Art Festival or the Coop. Maybe some of the rest of you know more about it? I missed the 80's on elmwood, so I can't really say how it was? How about the rest of you?

Who are the people in your neighborhood

Wow, we have so many new people here. We should plan some sort of social event. Trisha and I have been talking about a scavenger hunt with journal based clues, etc for couple months. Anybody else have an idea? It could be really fun to organize something like that with clues online and then al around the elmwood area.

I am also going to start prgramming the restaurant review section. I just need some inspiration from the chicken wing fairy, so I am heading off to Anchor to get started.
