I smell books burning already

Gov. Gary Locke’s proposal to close the Washington State Library in Olympia as part of an effort to fix a shortfall of $1.2 billion in the state’s biennial budget has public librarians worried. The suggested closure in October would make Washington the only state without a library agency and could forfeit the $3 million in federal LSTA funds the library receives annually for the development and support of public libraries.


Faced with a projected $9.2-million deficit, the Salinas, California, council voted 6–1 September 21 to close all three of the city’s public library branches in the first half of 2005. Officials also plan to close six recreation centers and reduce the city payroll by 71 full-time positions—nearly half of them library staff.


A reduction of more than $19 million in county funding to the Buffalo and Erie County (N.Y.) Public Library will force its central library and all 51 branches to close their doors in January, library officials have announced. The proposed 2005 county operating budget, released November 5, reduces funding from $24.2 million in 2004 to $5.2 million in 2005, triggering an additional loss of $2.8 million in state library aid.


Richmond, California, to Close Branches, Halve Library Staff (25%) - 04/02/2004
The city council of Richmond, California, voted March 30 to close the city s two branch libraries as part of a budget cut of $9.2 million in response to a projected $35 million shortfall.

This place

One time I was standing here and I thought "god" was telling me I was some sort of prophet and that I had to cut my hand and wrote on it in my blood. I wonder where the rock is now. I'm glad Ilm not 15 anymore Those were ridiculous days before the computer. (e:mattew) is on the hill now, is it a sign?

Leaving the Bubble

We left the bubble to go hiking with dave in East Aurora. We aren't far from our bubble but far enough to see a pickup that said I belong to the NRA and I vote. He was wearing army clothes and had defeat Kerry stickers too.

Ringing For Soyeon

I took this picture with my phone while ringing (e:soyeon) 's doorbell. I liked the way it came out. So many choices to press.

I am going to start a site for lowres mobile photography when I have a free evening. I am really beginning to like the aesthetic of low res. I even have an orignal gameboy cam. Anyone else interested?
