Book Man

(e:terry) and I went to an estate sale on Irving today. They had a lot
of amazing stuff but everything was in the $300-$3000 range and I'm
not in a place for that right now.

An interesting aspect of the sale was this bookshelf full of books
that all had "man" in the title. It would be so weird to have people
going through all your stuff.

New Fuji buffet

I'd give it a 2 out of 10. It was far away and not very tasty. I
prefer zhangs and I don't like that either. The torn paper in the
window looks like "food animals" tried to claw their way out before
getting terryakied.

Niagara Falls America at Night

Wow not having a passport sucks. The view from America is basically
getting blinded by the lights from Canada where all the magic is.

The shopping cart

There is this pricerite shopping cart on my corner. The things that's
so crazy about it is that there a distance lock on it. So someone got
it pretty damn far with the wheels not turning before giving up on
it. I wonder why they don't include a phone number for reporting it
on the cart itself.

The cuttlefish I always wanted

If anyone can ever make this for me, I will love them forever. It an extra special challenge because the pattern is sold out

The etsy site seems pretty awesome. I never saw it before but it seems like a great way to sell handmade items if you make any of those.

The pattern author has a blog

and they also have a tutorial on making 3d crochet shapes

Visiting Rentacoder.com

I was visiting

to see what people are looking for these days - purely for fun. Its also kind of interesting to see people's expectations and source code that gets attached. Some of it is so full of bugs and dangerous security issues. The best is all the marketing people that know they want something but are not sure of the technologies or their relationships to one another. Like, "I need a mysql/css website for user interaction." Yes, both of those technologies are used in web development but I have never heard them described together as the two main technology requests. I think web development just assumes CSS nowadays.

We need a 35 page website for a client.

Does anyone describe websites in pages anymore. That sounds so 1997.

Another one is to create a unique taxpayer identification number system for a whole country. THat has to be a scam.

The objective of this project is to carry out a successful roll-out and implementation of the Unique National Taxpayer Identification Number (U-TIN) for the country and the development of a related data base linked to all relevant stakeholders in order to bring the country's tax administration and practice in line with global best practices.

It is expected, that the U-TIN, when implemented would ensure proper identification and registration of all tax-payers and create an efficient and effective tax system for the entire country. Description: Files:

8.5 Americans in Interracial Marriage

I think CNN got the numbers wrong:

The number of interracial marriages have skyrocketed, nearly quadrupling between 1970 and 2005, the most recent year for which there is census data. As of 2005, nearly 8.5 Americans are living in interracial marriages

I feel bad for that 0.5 person that didn't even count as a whole person.

Parkside Candies

While (e:shawnr) was in town we stopped at Parkside Candies on main
street in university heights. It was the first time I had been
there. The place looks awesome on the inside. We bought truffles,
sponge candy and coconut fatty's.
