Reverse consumption

I want to eat Buffalo for breakfast. What I need is a fast train to a big city with lots of money for the taking. Then I can come back and buy it and then throw it in the garbage. Unfortunately, the industrialists beat me to this by a hundred years or so.

Maybe I should just join Jesse in his move to Shanghai and conquest of the free trade zone. I wonder if I worked for him if I would be allowed a bathroom break.

It's nce to see strangers read my blog

I was doing some more searches for elmwoodstrip when I found that someone commented on my essay [inlink]paul,951[/inlink] about networked events over a year ago

In response to the essay they said:

The USA is the only place in the "rich" world, and quite a bit of the not-so-rich world, where you could still find such a sweetly wide eyed comment about mobile phones in May 2004.

That one comes from the very nice place-themed (but not place-filtered) shared weblog Elmwood Stip which I just read about on Smart Mobs.Quoted from: fisharepeopletoo: Aw, Bless

My Mom

I inherited two of his hats today. One is a snap cap in brown cord du ruoy and the other is a private investigator style hat.

Here is a picture of my mom. My Nonno is in there too. My mom is the girl in the middle on the left with no bow in her hair. The picture was taken in Sicilly prior to my mother immigrating to America.

Mike can work

Unbelievable as it may be, I taught (e:mike) how to use a mechanical lawn mower. For those of you that know (e:mike) , this is a near miracle.

Mother's Day

Wow I am full. I seriously don't think I will eat again till Tuesday. We had lamb, asparagus, string beans, mashed potatos, three kinds of olives, bread, salad, mushrooms, brownies, pineapple, chocolate, celery, brocoli, and more. Now I am tired despite the espresso.

I am spending the day at my Nonna's on the lower west side. The neiggborhood here is bumping with people, the way I remember Kenmore as a kid.

It has a nice residential feel, unlike elmwood which is resembling an outdoor shopping mall, more and more each day. I wonder if they will ever cover it over like the Goethe Gallerie in Jena, Thueringen, Germany. I will post a link later, so you can see what I am talking about.

I was thinking about the space in front of globe market. I love Globe Market and their food but remember when it used to be a park and you could sit there for free.

I also wonder what is going to happen to the gang of homeless people that live in front of burger/starbuckets. I keep meaning to sit with them one day and find out their stories.

Watch out for Free Radicals

No it's not a political movement. They are chemicals that cause aging. when I worked at Feel Rite (like 10 years ago) we sold enzymes that broke them down. I guess they were useful after all.

LONDON: Scientists have managed to stave off the ageing process in mice, a discovery that might pave the way to longer, healthier living in humans too.

Experiments at the US-based Washington University School of Medicine showed that protecting the body of mice against highly reactive chemicals called free radicals long suspected as a cause of ageing gave them longer lives, reports the Scottish daily Scotsman. Quoted from: Secret of ageing no longer a secret- The Times of India

Thanks to (e:chaibiscoot) for this one.

That will bring you to a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network." In this section you'll see a little "click here to opt out" link that will let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping. Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted. Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next page. Be careful because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo*! * the opt-out.
