Tightrope Walker on Bidwell

When I first saw this guy I thought he was floating in the air. On closer inspection I realized that he was instead a tightrope walked.



On a creepier note, when trying to pick out the bidwell location on the map...



...firefox on my desktop computer was able to guys my location by 21 feet.

Trapped in a box

I feel so bad for the miners trapped in that mine. How is it that it will take untill christmas to dig them out. It seems like humans should be able to dig them out faster. Maybe BP should donate some of it's massive drilling equipment to them.

This map makes it even more confusing. If the light grey areas are the mined part, then how do the paths work.

Rough St. Patrick's Day

This fraggle must have had a rough St. Patrick's day last March. I found her in a closet this morning and she still looks hung over.

Hey straight guys, thanks for the show

Seriously, straight dudes. I can't believe sagging pants are all the rage again. It seems like the gayest thing in the world but I see guys I would otherwise think are not gay doing it.

I am not complaining, I just don't understand who the intended audience of your ass is. I assume you aren't thinking me, but at the same time your butt is hanging out right in front of my face. Do girls get turned on by this? To me it seems like the gay equivalent of a girl with her boobs flopping out of her blouse. But if you are a guy into girls, what do you think they are getting out of that. Do anyone women like this?

I imagine it has to be uncomfortable to wear, especially when the pants hang so low that you have trouble peddling your low rider bike because the crotch part of the pants is binding your knees together.

The other thing I don't get is how your ass is not sweaty. Maybe I am just a hairy italian guy but seriously, there you are riding your bike in pretty much nothing but boxers on a really hot day. Doesn't your butt get sweaty and that would be embarrassing. Maybe all the air prevents it, lol.

This picture comes from the wikipedia article It makes the whole phenomena seems like a black thing stemming from prison culture where belts are forbidden.



I would argue like just about everyone other trend, it seems like white guys have joined the bandwagon full force, at least in buffalo yet I could not find nearly as many pics of it online. Maybe it really is a buffalo only white thing. I am going to try and get some to prove it.

Apparently, someone in NYC someone has started a campaign to stop people from "sagging" on the bus.

Faster and harder

My second 12-14 hour work day in a row. Trying to get some stuff done quick but not as fast as my running time. Tonight I made it home in 2:47 seconds moving time. I ran so fast I almost felt like I was going to suffocate at the end.

For fun I added these two pics of twin cars. Randomly, they were both by the house at the same time.

North St Construction

Its going to look so good when its done and had regular corners. (e:matthew) said the corners were rounded when main street was closed due to the dubway construction and Linwood became a major thoroughfare out if the city. I guess that is also why it is one way. I hope they switch that back too.

Location services for your blog

Now you can upload kml files, which are files that track data on a map. Say the path of a walk, hike, run, drive, etc. A bunch of coordinates, etc.

Anyone can upload kml now using any of the normal estrip publishers but the estrip android app has a special tie in with google My Tracks app. You can get instructions here You will need the 1.14+ version of the estrip app to do this.

Here I took a small run down linwood to test it and see how long it would take me. You can see I got lazy but the end and shortcutted.



Track the journal using My Tracks


Select Share with friends


Choose estrip from the options that come up


The kml file attaches to the blog you are about to publish

The superflea on walden

We went to the superflee to get more 72" records. Last time they had a million but we only bought a few because we didn't have the grammophone yet.

When we came back they were all home and (e:matthew) asked what happend to them. Apparently they didn't sell so the salesguy glued them to the wall as decoration. Too bad we didn't come back before.

I also bought a screwdriver from this store where everything was painted red. The saleslady told me the Guy they bought all the stuff from was paranoid about people stealing his stuff so he painted it all red. Sometimes he went a little too far. Check out the knife with half the blade painted.











It doesn't matter if it is fresh pressed organic flax seed oil if it expired in 2005. They tried to scratch off the expiration date, which is even more ridiculous.
