Artists and Models

Had a crazy evening at Artists And Models on Saturday night. The event was pretty fun although I thought $4 per 1/2 cup of wine was expensive for something with a $20 entrance fee.

I actually had a really good time there and then afterward traveling around and hanging out with some people I just met and some I don't regularly see.

One of the best moments was with (e:holly) in the living room

This performance including dissecting a McDonalds meal as though it was at a biohazzard site.

This was one of my favorite visuals.

At the stimulus package stand you had to make a promise to yourself and then get approved. They gave you a set of cards to help to reach your goal. My goal was to learn wood turning. I got approved, got cards and then somehow lost them in 20 minutes. What does that say for my ability to commit to that goal. No seriously, I am interested.

Bye Bye Birdies

I felt bad but your parents were making a mess of my house and it was time for it to end before you were even born. The tortoise enjoyed the eggs.

Nexus One magic

The nexus one is magic in a lot of ways. One of those it the support for google voice. The way it works, you get voicemail, the voicemail is translated into text and then sent to you as email or text message.

Sounds awesome, right? Sadly, though I found it is not very accurate. This particular voicemail is pretty is from Rite Aid telling me that my medicine was ready for pickup. It is supposed to say "This is your rite aid store" What is especially weird is that it is also a robot talking. Apparently, google's speech-to-text translator cannot understand robot voice very well.

Here is the mp3

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

Here is the translation:

Hello, this is your wife the door. We are calling to remind Paul Visco. There's your order is ready you can pick up your order until May 16th 20 parents this message will be repeated this is your wife needs door. We are calling to remind Paul Visco. Did your order is ready you can pick up your order until May 16th 20 padding this message will be repeated this is your wife needs door. We are calling to remind Paul Visco. Did your order is ready you can pick up your order until May 16th 20. Hey in.

Iphone OS user photo path

I needed to get to the old photos on my iphone before giving it to (e:Terry). Unfortunately, they they will not transfer to iphoto anymore. It seems like once I got over 900 in one folder it didn't want to sync on any mac. Anyhow, thankfully I had jailbroken it, so I just SCPed the photos from the iphone to the computer. The problem was trying to find the photos. I used updatedb and then locate. Find could have worked but it would have taken a while because my iphone was packed with so much crap.

Anyhow the point of the journal is to tell other people looking for the same data that it is in /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM

So ready for bed - nexus one tether ya

I spent the last hour rooting my nexus one so i could tether and write this sentence. Interesting sidenote: once you have tethering enabled both fedora and windows can tether with USB. On fedora it is even easier than windows. I plugged in the phone and it shows up in the network manager as a internet source.

There is no way to get it to work on the mac. For that you have to use a wifi tethering option which sucks because its way less secure, slow and requires extra power to run.

It also has a flash and this picture was taken in darkness to give you an idea how good that works in dark.

The best part is being able to listen to streaming radio n the background. I am sure the new iphone will do that out of the box too.

Cleaning up

Because I was so sick all weekend and then ended up at cat houses in
the tour, I was ready to suffocate by today. Therefore, I spent all
day wearing a gas mask which actually helps in these situations.

My favorite is ricola and a gas mask.

We had to clean up for our block club home tour afterparty which is at
our house. I dusted each spindle on the stairs which takes forever.
Getting rid of some dust should help my allergies.

We also added a full size couch to the side parlour and it actually
fits. Once the fireplace works I may never leave the room.

The dark scary subway tunnel

This picture is dark and crappy. It's not because my iPhone takes
shifty pics but because there was only one light on in the tunnel by
Canisius. On the last set of steps I actually had trouble seeing the
stairs going down in front of me.
