My soon to be, new phone

I think I found a replacement for my current phone. Finally, a 3G phne with gps. Too bad ATT doesn't have 3G here in Buffalo yet. At least the phone will be ready when it arrives and with ATT I can use multiple phones and just port my SIM card around. My nokia 7710 will once again have life.

It has a 500Mhz processor, tethers via bluetooth, has windows mobile 6 (for work stuff), 3G, GPS, 3MP camera, keyboard, video chat, instant messaging, push email with outlook sync. I also imagine it should be ready to run the new google OS android once it is officially out. My only complaints are flash player 7 (that's adobe's fault) and the fact that it does not have a standard headphone connector.

It is normally $599 but as a new ATT customer I can get it for $179 on amazon

You have to love cell phone subsidies. Poor iphone users who actually had to pay face value for their phones. Not only is it only $179 but you can choose two additional phones for 1 cent each on the family plan. The phones on that list are pretty good too, so (e:terry) and (e:matthew) will be happy.

Fairies In The Garden

I was randomly searching for gay on ebay and then sorting by most expensive to try and find some crazy gift for (e:matthew) when I came across these fairies I kind of thought there would be more gay "antiques" of some sort.

It seems like this woman makes them by hand and can even do requests for likenesses. I admit, it is a little creepy but they are quite well crafted and totally original.





They make girl ones too.

Gowanda Psychiatric Center Cemetery

Last Monday, (e:matthew), (e:terry) and I went to Zoar valley to climb down and back up point peter. It is so fun climbing down it. I really miss climbing bigger things out west. On the way there we saw the sign for the Gowanda Psychiatric Center cemetery.



All the graves are just labeled with numbers and according to the website (e:matthew) was reading they lost all the records associating the names with the numbers back when the hospital was taken over by the correctional facility.

Here are some random links for it

Korea House, Laughlins and Ruh Franklin

Korea House
Went back (e:paul,32617) to Korea House today for some yummy lunch. I really think Korean food is superior to other asian foods. Accept for maybe Japanese Sushi.

We orded Bulgogi (WIKIPEDIA - Bulgogi) which comes with a million side dishes that you mix with rice, roll in lettuce leaves and eat. It is so super yummy but a little steep at $22.00. Seriously, it is enough for three people though. So maybe not steep but, considering we ordered it as an appetizer, it was a little steep.

I wish I had my real camera




We also all ordered a meal each which turned out to be way too much food.

When I ordered the clam soup the Korean lady, who was the friendlist , most matronly waitress ever, asked me if I was sure I liked soup. I was totally confused. I mean you think she would have asked if I was sure I liked clams.

It was so good. It has squid, clams, mussels, octopus, fish cakes, and scallops in it. Eating it was like fishing. I am sure that I like octopus the best now that I got to taste them all at the same time, although each part was delicious.




Laughlins
Has lunch with (e:terry), (e:matthew), and (e:flacidness) at Laughlins the other day.


My sandwich was so good and the prices are reasonable. I had the steak and Dandelion sandwich. I think it was around $12 but there have much cheaper sandwiches too. It is located at the corner of Franklin and Edward.


The decor is amazing. Once again, I wish I had my real camera with me.


On the way home I saw the menu for Ruh Franklin. I am definitely sure to go there sometime soon. Maybe for my birthday.

Some random facts...

I am still so sad over the gay boys that got killed in Iran for being gay



I think that is what their president meant when he said they had no gay people in Iran.

From wikipedia - Sodomy is a crime for which both partners can be punished by death, if the participants are adults, of sound mind and consenting; the method of execution is for the Shari'a judge to decide. A non-adult who engages in consensual sodomy is subject to a punishment of 74 lashes. (Articles 108 to 113) Sodomy is proved either if a person confesses four times to having committed sodomy or by the testimony of four righteous men. Testimony of women alone or together with a man does not prove sodomy. (Articles 114 to 119). "Tafhiz" (the rubbing of the thighs or buttocks) and the like committed by two men is punished by 100 lashes. On the fourth occasion, the punishment is death. (Articles 121 and 122).

If two men "stand naked under one cover without any necessity", both are punished with up to 99 lashes; if a man "kisses another with lust" the punishment is 60 lashes. (Articles 123 and 124). If sodomy, or the lesser crimes referred to above, are proved by confession, and the person concerned repents, the Shari'a judge may request that he be pardoned. If a person who has committed the lesser crimes referred to above repents before the giving of testimony by the witnesses, the punishment is quashed. (Articles 125 and 126).

As of 2007, teenagers accused of engaging in sodomy have been executed, although the official rationale for the hangings is debated.

I feel so bad for this lard ass. I mean really, their picture shows up in every single google news article about obesity. I wonder if he/she is on an obesity clipart CDROM somewhere. Has anyone else noticed this?



I was talking with (e:libertad) the other day and telling him this usb vaccuum I wanted for my vaccuum collection.


They dug up king Tut and unwrapped him. He has buck teeth. I am not sure exactly why someone would not just leave him alone. Isn't the whole point of being a mummy to be mummified and left alone. I kind of feel and for him too.



This is a new mp3 player for dogs . (e:jim) and (e:james) - you guys totally need ot get this for ben, although maybe it is too prissy for him.

Monday night

I am getting so sick of working on the new server - DNS, php, apache, mysql, email all set. Next I am gogin tot move the new site over from my dev machine.

At least I have techno4ever

This is what I look like programming, I guess everyone else has probably seen it but it was new for me.

::Download Flash Video::

I really wish I could move back to Germany sometimes. I miss living in europe. Today I looked at the Italian Citizenship site again and I really just need to go to New York to deal with it. I think maybe in January? I just need to drag my mother and brother with me.

Don't worry, I am not going anywhere. I just want to have it all together so I can ditch this country when the chinese come and claim it.

One Laptop Per Child

While I never had a laptop as a child and survived. I do believe having an internet enabled laptop will open up possibilities for lots of children in other countries.



For $400, you get one, a child in a dis-adantaged country gets one. You get a $200 tax deducation and you get 1 year free access to tmobile wifi hotspots which is normally like $19 a month.

Seems like a good deal, especially if you have friends that needs a laptop that can probably survive a beer spill. Oh ya, and it runs a flavor of linux.

The main screen is very simple to navigate and select what you want to do.


Thee is a visual logo interface


estrip works great on it.


It has a fedora backend and can easily be run in vmware if you want to test it out.

You can use it as an ebook reader too. That is not my laptop in the background. I took the picture from

Eating on Server Day

What would a server setup day be without some other exotic seafood. Today I tried these white clams with black stripes. I think they were cultured because they were in fact the cleanest clams I have ever seen, they were also maybe the tastiest.



Then (e:terry) made bacon wrapped asparagus. I would suggest it to anyone.



And then I ate a pomegranite. I think this is the first one I ate so much of. Usually, they just end up drying out.



Are neighbors had the funk truck come by today. Since when is Funk, organic fertilizer. I thought it was spray chemical. Have they changed their business model?
