Weekend vacation on a fingerlake

· 🌡️ 59°F

We headed out to @chris' vacation house on one of the finger lakes.
We went with the chris', @james, @jim, cowboy mike and cara.

The house is right on the lake.

Originally, we thought we were going to go camping but this was much
more relaxed than camping. Full kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and
sattelite television.

Did some Linux compiling to get a 3g broadband card working on a netbook running ubuntu remix, did some swimming (both daytime and night), a lot of drinking ... Oh and ate 250 clams, steaks, fresh peas and yummy cherries. It was great.

It's nice to have fun friends. Thanks guys. I still can't wait to go real camping.

Christians protesting Thursday in the square

· 🌡️ 66°F


The Christian protestors at Thursday in the square went totally nuts
this week. They keep bringing their children out. I can't imagine
why anyone would bring a kid with in that scenario.

They were like red faced screaming maniac style and their violent
words were met with serious anti-protest.

At one point they got in a fight with some punk guys and two seconds
later people of every race and ethnic group swarmed in on them. Then
people started throwing full bottles of water at them till the police
broke it up.

It was interesting to see other types of Christians engadging them and
calling them non Christians.

They basically mixed up their most violent whackjob adult males with
the timid children, probably their dads.

The comic book about flight 144 read like Nazi propaganda.

Buffalo Division of the treasury

· 🌡️ 69°F


@terry was sending in our tax money to the city today and affixed a
"get well soon" sticker. I thought it was so funny.

So get this, they charge 2% of the total, which can be huge, to pay
electronically but it's free to send in a check. How can that be more
efficient. I mean I am sure they are charged by the credit card
company for the transaction but 2% is pretty redic - especially on a
high tax bill.

Apple break pre in itunes

· · 🌡️ 69°F

I have more entertaining journal to post later, but as I sit here scanning my home title to send to the mortgage people for closing tomorrow, I couldn't help but notice the threat on apple breakin palm pre compatibility with itunes

I am not surprised at all, what I am surprised about is that people are happy about it because they can't believe anyone would "steal" from apple.

Seriously, Apple did all thge hard work with iTunes, and a company creates a product and think that they can just ride Apple's coat tails ?

C'mon - make your own software, you stupid idiots!



Seriously fucktard. Get a clue, apple borrowed like 98% of everything in os x from unix and open source projects. If anyone is riding on anyone's coattails its apple riding on the open source communities hard work.

Being skinny

· 🌡️ 74°F


It doesn't mean you can't eat junkfood. It mean saying a half a cookie
and a half cup of pocorn was enough food for the whole day.

I wish that wasn't true but it's been the busiest day ever and Noe
it's time to go get beer.

Beef on weck soup

· 🌡️ 65°F


I went back to the taste of buffalo with @james last night. I
finally tried the beef on Weck soup which was good but needed
horseradish cream or something.

I also tasted dinosaur barbeque which is actually from Rochester. I
never knew why people traveled so far for it but now I know. It was
the mist delicious BBQ I ever had.

The begger at walgreens on north

· · 🌡️ 67°F

She is always there or around it. I am so sick of her and her drama
stories. She is a lying hustler. I honestly have a hard time not
spitting on her at this point.

I really hate it when you see the people fall for her shit and give
her money.

Today's story is it's the Taste of Buffalo and the police are just
arresting people . She makes it sound so Nazi state without any
context.

When that doesn't work she pulls out her tried and true story of the
decade: her daughter unexpectantly had a baby she wasn't ready for
and that she needs to get to sisters to deal with it.

She has been telling that very same story since I used to come here in
high school. Either she has 1000 grandchildren or she is a liar. I
vote liar.

Its sad because scumbag, scamartists like her give the city a bad rap
and on top of that make people care less when there is someone that is
really begging for money and really needs it.

The one woman even went back to her car to get more money, what a
sucker. I mean she is definately a hustler, but even if she wasn't,
that is what social welfare programs are for. To help people and to
keep it legit and for that we already pay a lot.

I feel like for the amount of times I have had to put up with that
story, she owes me. Just to be clear she is the one on the stripped
shirt.

Shrimp on mushroom caps

· · 🌡️ 71°F

These shrimp on top of mushroom caps at the taste if buffalo were so
delicious. I only wish I didn't have a cold so I could have enjoyed
the food more. I spent the rest of the day in bed.
