Buffalo Gay Pride 2006
By the way gay pride is this weekend. I want to do new estrip street interviews (e:news,332) like we did in 2004. Anyone want to be the interviewer. Maybe (e:jill) again?

The world's largest drag show is also this weekend. It should go into the guiness book of world records twice, once for the world'slargest drag show and once for the world's worst web site. I feel bad for them, they could have raised more money if the web site was nicer I think. The intro looks nice, although I am not a big fan of flash spalsh pages but then the inside is a mess. They would have been better off just having a myspace, lol.

Remember the flyers for pride last year (e:paul,3395) . Too bad I barely handed any out, no pun intended.

I got this great pic of true buffalo ants going nuts over spilled blue cheese on the warm concrete.


What was this place with the chesseboard tabes out front that is in such disrepair on Franklin next to the Hamlin House.





Hamlin House


We pruged all our old salvation army cothes to give back to salvation army.


Soem of them were not even good enough for salvation army.




Tony I found the pic of one of those giant hamburgers you were talking about.

Gay And Lesbian Democrats

I had no idea how much fancy was in stonewall democrat. Here they have a giant fancy tent set up in the plaza outside where (e:hodown) used to work. The place across from the golden somewhere they have ice skating in the winter.

I hated working at HSBC but some part of me really misses the culture of downtown buffalo business daytime in the summer. It is constantly bustling with people and stuff to do.

pearl street brewery

Roswell had a little party at Pearl Street Brewery tonight in honor of the launching of the electronic medical records system. There was so much tasty food. Chicken fingers, artichoke hearts, mozarella balls, chicken wings, nacho dip extravaganza and an open bar.

It was well worth the walk over here. It started with the DaVinci code and now a coworkers asked, "Do we believe in god." Where is this gonna go?

Hiking at Zoar Valley and Xmen

We went hiking at Zoar Valley followed by seeing Xmen and going to sleep. Sorry (e:robin) that I didn't see any of your messages, I thought you would still be around today. Hope everything goes good on your trip down south.

Zoar Valley was nice as usual, there were a million people to the point where there were no more parking spots in the Point Peter lot. I was so summery out, actually warm enough to swim around in the creek. I didn't bring my phone so I didn't take any pics but matt brought his camera. Hopefully, he will post some pics. I stole this one off his camera.



Afterwards we went to go see Xmen, which was the worst piece of crap movie I ever saw. I mean generlaly I hate movies but then I went to see V for Vendetta and thought it was pretty great so I decided to give Xmen a chance. What a waste of $30 for the three of us. I prefered the stupid Silent Hill movie. At least it had a plot. I would never watch another xmen movie again. Special effects do not substitute for the plot of a movie.

Wegmans and blood pressure

Made a quick trip to wegman's in order to pick up some food for the week. I was also out of protein powder and cliff bars.

While we were there I decided to check out my blood pressure which is normally extremely low. Seemed a little high but I tested it again two minutes later and it was normal. I don't trust that machine but I do want to know why my bloodpressure was like 10-15 points higher than usual. Is it that cholestrol laden protein powder?





Does anyone else go grab a magazine for the checkout adventure? This time I grabbed mobile computing magazine which I paged through with the equivalent passion a suburban fervor teenage girl has for a fashion magazine. "Will I still look nerd trendy enough with my laptop and phone through 2007 or do I need a (insert explicative) model to maintain my geek suave."

In the magazine I saw disney is making cell phones for kids that allow the parents to track the children from their phones. Two words: creepy and cancer. Those kids are gonna have brain tumors the size of lemons by the time they are 15.



Thanks to everyone for coming to the party last night. Who has pictures to post? I think everyone was quite thoroughly inebriated which turned out to be fun. I stayed up with the squireels, (e:robin) and soon to be epeep sarah-paul till about 5am.

Clams taste good at wegmans but these kind freak me the hell out. On eitm ewe were in vacation where they only had these funky clams. It was very dissapointing. I mean I love seafood but these ones remidn me of that Klinmgon dish QAGH (WIKIPEDIA - qagh) - lots of info here -



(e:terry) really wants a passion flower (WIKIPEDIA - passion flower) plants but they are $16.99

Inky Caps Eat Plants

The inkycap mushrooms in our yard are destroying everything near them. I have never seen them be so killer. It kind of looks like a miny gang of zombies. I wonder if the plants have nightmares about them.








There are spreading, where will it stop.

The Crazy Lady on Elmwood

The crazy lady on elmwood was extremely riled up today. Frankly, she seems like she is starting to be dangerous. She was screaming at people and got in the coop and started freaking out. Then she marched outside and started screaming at the top of her lungs. I recorded a bit but then decided to get the hell away from here. (e:mike), it the one that freaked out that you weren't fighting in Iraq.

Anyways, she seems like she really need help, like maybe she forgot to take her medication but I think everyone is so afraid of her that she will never get help. I can't imagine what she must feel like. Does anyone know her story?

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

After the recording some guy out front of the laundromat told her to shut up and she freaked out on him too. You can hear him say shut up at the end of the recording. She told him that he doesn't even care that he ripped her off and stole her money because he is just going to get in his starship and fly away. She has seriously lost it.

Coop food is too damn expensive. I think I am done shopping there again. I can't afford a mansion and yuppy food. It's one or the other.
I mean it cost about $30 for some fruit and a couple thai soup packs.

Javascript Prototypes Part II

Here is a good example I wrote of javascript prototypes that extend other objects. (e:paul,4369) was part one and both were in reference to (e:zobar,59)

[box]<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
/*create a sound object for making sounds*/
sound = function(noise){
    this.setNoise(noise);
}

/*add new prototype to output the noise */
sound.prototype = {
    /*set the noise echoed on sound.out)*/
    setNoise : function(noise){
        this.noise = noise || 'plain sound';
    },
    
    /*output the noise*/
    out : function(numTimes){
        var noise ='"';
        for(x=0;x<numTimes;x++){
            noise += this.noise;
            if(x<numTimes-1){ noise +=', ';}
        }
        return noise+'!"';
    }
}

/*create a animal object for making animals that make sounds*/
animal = function(name, noise){
    this.setName(name);
    this.vocals = new sound(noise);
}

animal.prototype = {

    /*set the name of the animal*/
    setName : function(name){
        this.name = name || 'another animal';
    },
    
    /*prototype to wrap sound.out*/
    talk : function(times){
        alert(this.name +" said "+this.vocals.out(times));
    },
    
    /*prototype to wrap sound.setNoise*/
    changeVocals : function(noise){
        mySquirrel.vocals.setNoise(noise);
    }
    
}
/*instantiate an animal ( a squirrel that barks) and make it talk */
mySquirrel = new animal('squirrelio', 'bark');
mySquirrel.talk(3);
mySquirrel.changeVocals('ruff');
mySquirrel.talk(4);
</script>
</body>
</html>
[/box]

A lot of people have come up with different methods for dealing with inheritance. Here is one page that explains it and here is another that abstracts it a bit.

Once you are into the prototyping system you can make your own system to make extending and inheriting easier.
