words of mansion, thesis and food

Well at least we put a bid in on one. We made an offer and seeing as we are the only people who have an offer in, I think we are buying it.

We ate at jimmy mac's with (e:robin). I know I have posted a hundred pics of these burgers but I finally, I have a comparison of something to the size of the chesseburger and it' (e:robins) head.

Afterwards I went to Julie Perini's thesis show. I really enjoyed her dance and reverse order food ordering videos. The show setup was great to. I had not been over to the Big Orbit Gallery on Essex Street before.

Man, I could kill myself for not having handed in my thesis. I had edited it a bit but then (e:shawnr) had his thesis drama and it freaked me out.

thanks mark

Hey Paul,
Hope all has been well with you and your job. I wanted to let you know that my coding experience that I gained from your class helped me get a job at Datatel, formely known as LiquidMatric, in the development department. Other students in the dma program have been asking a few of us where we learned to make such cool web sites when compared to their photoshop sliced sites and we all get to credit you and the advanced programming class. A few of us have also been wondering how Hour720 is coming along. And finally, as I am now phone shopping, could you tell me what model you have? I remember is being cool and computer-like, but not huge like some other pda-type phones.
Thanks!

I Graduated?

I am at (e:robins)'s house and according to the commencement pamphlet I graduated. Maybe I can just hang that on my wall.

The house on prospect needed mowing. One tenant hasn't paid the rent yet and she is out of town now.

The sky was beautiful on Prospect for a minute.

Hayes Fish Market

I went to Hayes fish market in Kenmore (MAP TO: 3279%20DELAWARE%20AVENUE) today as part of my year long quest for the rock shrimp source. There is also one on Harlem Road (MAP TO: 3985%20HARLEM%20ROAD). The fish monger told me it wasn't the season but when I asked when it was he smiled and said he didn't know, lol. If any of you know where I can buy these, besides at a restaurant, please tell me.

Anyways, the place is also a fried seafood extravaganza. It smelled so yummy. I find it bizarre that my seafood dependent mother had not found this out before or at least not told me. I got the fried shrimp dinner.

Holy crap my squirrels bark loud

Who would have thought that such tiny little squirrels could bark so loud. We have been giving them free reign of the house and they are reverting to their jungle mentality I think.

Just last night at like 6am there was a squirrel trying to get under my pillow and then running all over our beds.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

Work has been really fun. I have something pretty neat I am working on but I will talk about it more after I decide if I can get a patent for it.

I'm not fat and my dick isn't small

I also have a college degree and am not interested in a mortgage from an offshore bank or a casino account.

I open my mailbox and bam: your dick is your weak issue because it is so small.

I feel bad for all the guys out there with little dicks that get the same spam mail I get. I must make them feel really bad. Sometime I get like 5 a day, I mean they end up in the junkmail box, but they exist - what a waste of digital space. Same for diet spam.

I wonder who the people are that make spam mail a profitable business. I mean who believe there is a "creme" that would make your dick bigger. Unless they are meaning some sort of temporary bigger, like with lube ;)

"I was originally amazed that the first two pills I took of Hoodia 920+, almost immediately took my cravings away. Now 4 weeks later, 3 belt holes later, I have become an advocate for this awesomely powerful, natural supplement!"

Victoria K., New York

If those people really knew me, they would know that I would die if I lost 3 belt loops.

On another note, my father calls me at work today desperate to install some work program for his business. He tells me th new computer I bought him doesn't use the kind of floppy disk he has. I tell him I got them a usb floppy drive and he can use that. He says, "I tried but the disk doesn't fit."

Wasn't a 3 1/2 incher- called a floppy but not floppy at all

I think to myself. OMG, this cannot be a 5 1/4 inch disk, a disk that actually was floppy. Anyone else remember the hole punch to make them double sided?

So I ask him to get out a ruler and measure it. I think, what the hell can this be. Maybe this ancient piece of crap?

He tells me it is about 4.75 inches. I think, "Some sort of proprietary disk from the past that I never witnessed?" So then he tells me our old computer had a drive for it and I think. Alright dad, "I don't believe there is this other kind of floppy disk. What does it look like?" He says, "it's shinny!" It was a freakin' CD. I told him to press the button on the front of the computer to open up the drive and that worked. I have true respect for all the poeple that work at technical help desks. I think it would dirve me crazy.

It was simply a CD, I guess it is just as floppy as a 3 1/2 incher.

metalpeter writes at 06:10:46 05/10/06 - Comment #7662: The cream stuff isn't really about being small. It is about adding size to it. Just like some girls with good sized breasts still want them bigger. A lot of avarage guys would still like a few more inches if they could have it. I think the real aim of those ads are for people who have erictile problems or whos penis gets hard but dosn't completely fill with blood. I think spam is still no whare as bad yet as Junk Mail. I rent and get stuff saying i can now get a loan to lower my house payments, I get car insurance stuff and don't own and never owned a car.

lilho writes at 04:28:31 05/10/06 - Comment #7659: stories about your dad, are seriously the funniest ever. on the other hand, my friends dad did just burn down half of their neighbors house yesterday. julie got home, and her whole family was on the couch crying. even her teenage brother.

scott writes at 08:12:29 05/10/06 - Comment #7645: Ragarding your spam issues, there are people out there who recycle spam, turning it into poetry...
:::link:::

Part of my job involves customer support (it's a small company, so part of my job involves anything...). I get people worse off than your dad...

The worst: I had a customer complain that our software broke her computer. She insisted that it was the last program she'd ran. (Since our software's shite, I wasn't suprised. Still, I'd never seen it actually fry a machine.) So, I have her check a few things. Nothing worked. Eventually, the truth was revealed... The power in her building was shut off for the day. She was on her cell phone. She had threatened to have me sued, fired, and at one point even threatened physical harm...

Best part... this woman is a dean at a health care professional school. It's prestigious and in Boston, and rhymes with "Marvard".

mike writes at 12:10:28 05/10/06 - Comment #7643: I just read that story out loud to dad, he was laughing hysterically. But you don't know the first part of the story, they called me at work first....asked if we have a disk drive...I was like "are you sure it isn't a cd" and he insisted it wasn't...I told him the disk drive was on top of the computer...he first insisted it wasn't there then hung up (I guess he didn't believe me) and then called you...where the hilarity ensued

kara writes at 11:48:28 05/09/06 - Comment #7640: At least he didn't tell you "that's not a disk drive, it's a cup holder!"

twisted writes at 11:21:22 05/09/06 - Comment #7637: OMG. You had me going there. The hole punch was just to make them write-enabled. You could then write on both sides if they were double-density. Holy christ! How old am I? lol.

theecarey writes at 11:06:59 05/09/06 - Comment #7634: hehehe cute story about your dad... I remember that style of floppy. I much prefer the circular ones, haha.

mrdt writes at 11:01:50 05/09/06 - Comment #7633: you mean this stuff doesn't work...damn fooled again

house paint

No wonder it will cost $5400 to paint this house. Seems like the winter was really hard on the remaining paint. The front looks extra crappy because I actually hung out the window and scapped it in the fall thinking I was going to paint it.

I hope people don't think I'm a slum lord. I guess it will be fixed soon enough.

Geiger Counter

Does anyone know anything about a (WIKIPEDIA - Geiger counter)? I really need one for a mapping site of radioactive places in buffalo. I am just so damn curious where it is radioactive and where it isn't and moblogging seems like the way to do this right now. I figure I will use an interface based on the

interface seeing as no one is using it. This is defiantely a hint to click on the rememberbuffalo link right below the gather link on the right.

Seems useful and scary yet exciting. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about geiger counters other than I want one that is digital.

This nice USB one

that works with mac and PC comes with a glow in the dark radioactive glass bead.

What freaks me out is that most of them come with a radioactive glass bead to test with. Just where or where do you store that? In a lead box. It is seriously the stuff kryptoniite is made of. Maybe this is a bad idea?

Vaseline Glass Test Source
Need a safe way to test out your geiger counter? Try our Vaseline glass bead. Vaseline glass is a type of glass with a small amount of uranium oxide added, which makes it glow under ultraviolet light (also called depression glass). This also makes it slightly radioactive. With the GM-10, we get about 200 CPM with the bead directly in front of the detector window, or about 0.2 mR/hr.

The bead is available for just $9.99, and may be ordered online or you can order by mail We're having a special right now, you can get 5 beads for just $39.99!

Congratulations Buffalo Punditit

But why the casino ads? I posted about the artvoice best of buffalo award on (e:news,835) . When I got home I went to checkout buffalopundit's site

to see what he wrote about winning the artvoice award. Holy crap, giant casino advertisements. I never got pop up ads visiting buffalopundit.com before. Casino pop up ads?

At first I though maybe I had a virus but no other site does it. Whenever I have no cookies and visit the site, I see full screen casino pop up ads.
The little pop in ad was okay and the banner flashing advertise here
