Bug Reports and details

(e:metalpeter), in order to find out what's wrong in regards to [inlink]metalpeter,115[/inlink] I need to have more details about the error. In the future when you spot problems, please make sure to tell me what type of computer you are using and which browser. Otherwise, it makes it impossible for me to test out what is wrong with it.

Thanks,

Student loans

I just accepted more student loans today. At some point it will max out and I will be cosumed by debt, reduced to living a life as an indentured student.

I recorded the process and what I was thinking. It is my new usersound. To listen to userSounds just click on the user sound link in the User Stats area under the User Pic. If the sound is new for that day you will see a "NEW SOUND TODAY" images instead of the text link. Same with the profiles.

If you want to upload your own user sound simply click on the green music notes in yourcontrol panel.

Provincetown Elmwood

Apparently, there is another elmwood neighborhood

in Provincetown. So apparently, I could move away and still spend my whole life living on elmwood.

When I first viewed their gallery I didn't realize where it was and I couldn't recoggnize the buildings. They seem to fit into our own local architechture so well, but I just couldn't recognize the locations. It actually made me think that maybe I had missed part of elmwood. Here is an example pic.

We should have an inter-elmwood themed online event. Maybe they need a site :)

What's even weirder is that if you type elmwood and provincetown into google (GOOGLE - elmwood provincetown) we show up on the first page of returns because of (e:emilyjane) 's trip to P-town.

Blending Food Database

Check this local treasure out

. It is a database of food information in Western NY and Niagara Regional Area.

I had never heard of it before until I was doing some routine searches on elmwood today. Below is the latest entry is from Sept 6 -2004 and is talking about one of our local elmwood attractions.

We had to check out the Carriage Trade Pastries that is located at 1654 Elmwood Ave. between Great Arrow and Amherst. (Across from the Fire Hall) 716-881-2326. We went home with some Bumbleberry tarts that were excellent! Everything else looked really great! We will definitely be returning. They also offer a lunch menu and have a few tables to eat right there. They have desserts, breads and wedding cakes. The are open Tues. to Fri. from 8 AM - 5 PM and on Sat. from 9 AM to 5 PM.

These would make the cutest bike bells

These would make the cutest bike bells. They would of course make some sort of crazy bird chirp rather than your avaergae bell bing.

Beaches on Lake Erie

You don't have to crross the border to find free beaches on Lake Erie. Today (e:mike) , (e:terry) , (e:matthew) [inlink]matthew,366[/inlink] and I visited Bennett Beach

We originally intended on going to Wendt Beach

but overshot it a bit in our driving adventure through Hamburg. It was just as well, as I wanted to get as far from the city and Bethlehem Steel as possible. (e:matthew) has taken a bunch of nice hires pics at the beach.

Human Enslavement Sony Style

This is taken directly from Boing Boing News rss feed but I thought it was important to talk about. I fell like these people should be jailed and not just fined. This type of behavior is one of the reasons I enjoy living in a poorer city.

The Los Angeles County Superior Court ordered James J. Jackson, vice president of legal affairs at Sony Pictures Entertainment, and his wife, Elizabeth, to pay 825,000 dollars to 60-year-old Nena Ruiz, who says she was kept as an indentured servant in the couple's home.

[Ruiz claims she was] emotionally and physically abused and forced to work 18 hours a day at virtually no pay for a year ... she said that Elizabeth Jackson had frequently slapped her and pulled her hair. During her year at the Jacksons' home, Ruiz said she slept in a sleeping bag on a "dog's bed" on the living room floor and ate days-old food, while she prepared fresh food for her employers' pets.

Here

is the whole article.

Summer Days

I am eating the first popsicle of the summer. It actually seems kind of disgusting. It is not very sweet and tastes like plastic. It's especially weird to think it's made out of oil. Did we fight a war for popsicles?

Maybe it tastes bad because it's old. It probably has been there, on the shelf all summer, if not since last year because I really can't remember that many hot days where people wanted popsicles.

On another note, I found this really messed up picture of (e:matthew) 's white ice fish that died. I didn't know it was there till now. Someone must have used it while playing with the paint program on my phone. He was a cool looking fish but the other fish hated him and beat him up till he died. It was sad to watch as he didn't fit in and they scared him so much that he dug a little hole and would never come out.
