The internet has changed

I remember back when I first made the site in 2002 I was the only person I knew on mobile, except maybe (e:chris). Now the latest entries list is full of mobile posts.

Wifi privacy nightmare in buffalo

Wow this would totally suck. People really need to password protect their wifi. Not that password protected wifi is unhackable but at least it much safer.

BUFFALO, N.Y.

It was a nightmare scenario: A homeowner forced to lie on the floor while gun-wielding federal law enforcement officers called him a pedophile and pornographer.

But the Buffalo, N.Y., man was innocent. Someone else had tapped into his wireless Internet router to download child pornography. The homeowner had gotten frustrated trying to set up a password to protect the wireless signal and paid a heavy price.

jelly belly beans

The pear ones taste so good. I remember when these first came out here when I was a kid. We would take the bus from kenmore down to the main place mall where they had them. I still remember how surprised I was when I tried popcorn flavor ones.

Fresh Corn?

I don't believe this fresh corn is from Niagara county. Do they store it frozen? Is it grown in green houses. Its $0.59 an ear which sound ridulouslu expensive considering corn is like 4-10 per dollar in the summer. At the same time it seams reasonable considering it us not summer and when compared to other veggies that size and weight.

Basra and the sunshine

Basra played in the backyard and I hung out with (e:mike) and practiced more one handed cartwheels. The goal of back handsprings seems impossible at this point. Mike tried to convince me that the only thing stopping me from a no handed cartwheel is fear. He might be right but it seriously feels like hurling you face at the ground.

Linwood neighborhood tour

We had a tour of the neighborhood this morning. It started out at the new intersection near my house and walked down to ferry visiting 4 houses along the way. It started at 9am which was a little early for me.

Our house was the first. Its so weird to see it through the trees.

Someday I want to do a home tour where the hallway upstairs is stripped and all the rooms are done. Maybe it can be the 24 Linwood 2020 vision at the rate we are moving.

440 is so amazing. It must be so hard to leave after putting so much customization into a home. They had this really neat glass bubble with real preserved butterflies inside.

The kitchen granite was so beautiful. Its hard to tell in the pic but there was solid chunks of clear crystal in it.

They had this custom fireplace brick/metal grate constructed from an old air duct grate from recovered from a bank.

The original leaded glass in the massive staircase window.

We also toured the former Block Club presidents porch where he reconstructed the porch which had previously been turned into a room for the house. The old carriage port was bricked in but they freed it and fixed the stone.

The car port is so nice. I am thoroughly jealous of their house.

While walking down the street we also toured the outside of one of the "problem properties" on the block. When we used to live at 444 this house was a serious blight. It had been a rooming house since the 1930 and by the mid 2000s it was full on ghetto. I used to cross the street when I had to walk to the subway station because people would always harass me and try and sell me drugs. Housing court finally shut it down thanks to the work of the block club. Supposedly, someone has bought it now and is going to reconstruct it.

The inside looks like a disaster to me. I am sure it can be fixed but that level of disrepair gives me a heart attack.

The Beau Fleuve has magnificant stairs.

The original windows are so lively.

At the end we toured the new "Home" headquarters being constructed in a building on the corner of W. Ferry and Main.

Orange Tongue For Tiny

As you can see the orange tongue can not take hold of the new tongue that grows out of the dead spots.

Wow (e:tinypliny), that link you posted was the lamest doc ever. It basically says, we found nothing, we have no idea.

Salting Your Sidewalk is Illegal?

Who knew? Just about everyone salts their sidewalks in the winter yet according to Buffalo City Code 413-52 "Methods of removal and disposal locations (of snow)"

C. No person shall use salt, lime or any deleterious substance to remove snow or ice from the sidewalks or paved portion of any street or public place or from the track or tracks of any street surface railroad, except upon curves, switches, turnouts and at street crossings.
