Working on the poetry site
I will post the link when it is done. The poetry is about the stages of life and is entitled, "The Ages of Woman and Man"
While I was at it, I created a typerwiter key maker, so I am going to do an estrip theme based on typewriters. It will be the first black theme.

Surebert and alexwebcamworld
Today I found alexswebcamworld ] on google by searching for surbert.js.
The site seems to be a guy who keep most of his life on web cam. I frequently thought about this a couple years ago but honestly, having a mobile blog was more appealing at the timeand I went with that route. Maybe when I can have a live mobile webcam blog I will change my mind. I think actually, I can have that right now if I would just program it for my phone. I am so overly intimidated by Microsoft Visual Studio. It is so foreign to me, the way it works. Don't get me wrong, i love IDEs but the visual part is insane. I just am not comfortable giving up that much control to the system. It is probably because I don't fully understand how it works, but it seem slike whenever I start a project there a already a million files and lots of code.

restaurant and breaks
This was all my fault I just forgot to go until 6:59. I get out at 7PM. The thing is I always wait for terry till 8. I f his stupid phone wasn't broken I could have just called to say I am walking home, but as I have to wait anyways - I decided I would spend $11 on a fancy dinner at the hotel next door to roswell. Their food is amazing.
The guy next to me if freaking about about how he has some paycut and won't be able to afford the $500 trips to toronto on the weekends. His attorney says this and that. Blah, blah,blah Ans his property value need to be re-evaluated Thank god he has no debt, he says to some woman he is with.
In the end he decided it wuld be okay because his lower salary is still higher than most people in Buffalo.
This is a chicken focaccia sandwich. Nothing about this type of bread says focaccia to me. At least it tastes really, really good.

Sugar Gliders
And then spent the next half hour nibbling it.
Eventually, the other sugar glider came to investigate and snuggle

GPS comes so far
Then when I worked on Public Transphere we had some 2000 serial GPS unit that was a little more sophisticated but the interface was just as bad.
Recently I ordered a bluetooth gps for my phone and today I started actually playing wiht it. It is so incredible. It is tiny, like the size of a pack of gum, fully rechargable via usb and even works in the house. Furthmore, it is so accurate that it can detect me lifting up and putting down the phone or the speed at which I walk down the driveway. The potential is incredible and it output fully standard compliant NMEA sentences.
Look at the data mapped to google earth as I drive down elmwood. It's really great because my phone is also a 700k-1MB/s modem for my laptop.
Before I even used it I ordered another GPS but this time just the little chip which can record to a SD card. The advantage of this setup is that it can be standalone and tiny, not much bigger than a quarter. I can attach it to anywhing and it will reocrd its position for up to two weeks.
Soon enough, I want to make my journal track me as I move around the city. To bad I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. It might be kind of boring.

Daylight Savings Time
The reason is that it saves a ton of energy. According to this site
Daylight Saving Time Saves Energy
Spring Graphic One of the biggest reasons we change our clocks to Daylight Saving Time (DST) is that it saves energy. Energy use and the demand for electricity for lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go to bed and when we get up. Bedtime for most of us is late evening through the year. When we go to bed, we turn off the lights and TV.
In the average home, 25 percent of all the electricity we use is for lighting and small appliances, such as TVs, VCRs and stereos. A good percentage of energy consumed by lighting and appliances occurs in the evening when families are home. By moving the clock ahead one hour, we can cut the amount of electricity we consume each day.
Studies done in the 1970s by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that we trim the entire country's electricity usage by about one percent EACH DAY with Daylight Saving Time.
Daylight Saving Time "makes" the sun "set" one hour later and therefore reduces the period between sunset and bedtime by one hour. This means that less electricity would be used for lighting and appliances late in the day.

Outside but warm
We went to his mom's house to surprise her. she was having an openhouse and didn't know she was in town. Unfortunately, she has cats so I couldn't hang out otuside but it is 60 out today!
It's so nice to sit in the sun.
One of chris's relatives is an electrician who specializes in people with RF and EMT sensitivity. I never knew there was such a thing. Those poor people are not going to make the next evolutionary jump. Imagine being "alergic" to RF. You might as well move to a commune in the middle of the desert and line your house in aluminum foil.
