This is what we need
Here is a visual depiction of how I imagine it. Like a street lights up the streets, the wireless signal will light up the city's information superhighway.
The administration hopes to turn all 135 miles of Philadelphia into a giant wireless hotspot and bring the Internet to the masses.
Street has named a 17-member "Wireless" committee to explore the feasibility of the plan, which would involve installing thousands of transmitters across the city. Computers equipped with wireless cards could then log into the Internet.
If this becomes a reality, Philadelphia will be the first major city in the United States to provide wireless Internet access to all its residents. About 1,200 people now regularly use the free wireless access the city provides at LOVE Park.

Today Sucked
We talked about epistemology [dict]epistemology[/dict] , axiology [dict]axiology[/dict], and ontology [dict]ontology[/dict]. To be honest I was only familiar with ontology, and even with that one, just barely. I am definately not trained to jump into PHD level communications. Not because I am an idiot but because I have not developed the vocabulary to allow me to do this. It is no different than trying to jump into a 600 level physics course. I just don't have a background for it.
This still leaves me with the dilema of having to take to more classes outisde of my department before I graduate.
Teaching was also not so great for once. I had planned to have a five hour period to prepare for class today from 1-6 PM. Unfortunately, the software for my class was improperly installed and I spend the entire 5 hours, locating the software and installing it. It was such a pain because I had to entire the admin password about 500 times in order to get it all working. By the time I was done the students were walking in and class began. It made me really mad.
I was going to show how to make these boots, but I forgot all the files.

Just say no to CT scans
"Our research provides definitive evidence that radiation risk is associated with full-body CT scans. The radiation dose from a full-body CT scan is comparable to the doses received by some of the atomic-bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where there is clear evidence of increased cancer risk," said David J.
I guess it should seem obvious that this is the case. I hate x-ray and x-ray type devices. The dentist has been trying to convince me for years that I should get a head xray. I told him I would rather rip my teeth out.
This fear started in 1997 when I got a full chest xray for an injury. The nurse helper ended up making a mistake and they had to take a second. Later on I asked the doctor about it and he said its not good to have two. I was thrilled at that point. I ended up developing super p[owers, but I don't think they were worth it.

Social Action
If it were the beginning of spring I would suggest that we volunteered as a group for Habitat for Humanity. (e:matthew) says the the Great Lakes Cleaup is coming up soon on September 18th. Maybe we could do that? One year some of my friends and I helped cleanup Buckhorn state park on grand island. We could do something else as well. Something to help poor people? Any ideas? Any volunteers?

Indian Dance Party and Elmwood Pets
(e:chaibiscoot), do you have cats and dogs. I am very allergic to them. If not I vote yes. (e:terry) and (e:matthew) vote yes either way
[size=m]Elmwood Pets[/size]
I attended a trip to Elmwood Pets Supplies (MAP TO: 706%20ELMWOOD%20AVE) with (e:matthew) in order to get some crickets. I am glad I went because while I was there I met Sara(h), who I think will be the newest writer on the site. She thought I worked there and asked me about the deal on Fishtanks. 55 gallons for $49. I asked her what she had and she told me that she wanted it for her turtle. I told her about Basra the tortoise and then we talked about Coffee & and writing. She said she loves to write and then I told her baout the site. So if this is you Sara(h), it was nice meeting you and tell me, how do you spell your name?

Really Bad Music
The strange part is that he was talking about a song of his and how people were playing it at an afterparty, following the allentown art festival/chameloen fest. I think he was talking about (e:keith) 's party. Check it out.

What's Up for the Festival
On another note [inlink]metalpeter,96[/inlink], I think those are great ideas. Now we just need people to implement them. It's a weird issue, but I made the site in order to make sharetheir local community experience and if I direct the advertising, then inevitably, the people are somewhat targeted by my taste. I would like to see the site expand in a direction where it is slightly more diverse. While our male/female ratio is quite balanced, we don't seem to have much other diversity. How about some spanish speaking journals. We can all translate via the babelfish.
It would be easiest if everyone made their own advertisements. We would end up with a lot more people, and most likely, a lot more fun. Maybe it should be a competition for the most creative/ sucessfull type of advertising?
