This Wednesday, I finally gave an appointment with a dentist that specializes in geographic tongue thanks to some research by @tinypliny. I am ready for it to be over. Hopefully they can do something about it.
The Samsung galaxy s2 came out on ATT&T today and I finally jumped ship from the nexus one after almost 2 years. It feels like the future because this is my first video phone. I called myself between the fedora 15 laptop and the phone. It was pretty neat. Its even neater between phones. The thing that did it was a combination of the speed, size, amazing screen and camera. The screen is so clear and the blacks of the AMOLED are so black. I want a TV like that someday.
The camera is amazing. Actually it was the main factor as I can you it to document my geographic tongue better and take close-up pics of text. The nexus one had cracked lens so closeups were a no go.
As you can see by the benchmarks, it blows away my old phone.
Last night @matthew, @mike and I went to the Seneca Casino last night. Gambling at the slots sucked. Sometimes I win a bit, even if I am going to lose. This time I consistently lost $20 worth of plays on the penny slots. Even though it was the penny slots we were playing 50 lines at a time.
Actually, I was exaggerating - there was on win, this was it. How the frick is this a win? I can't understand how the machine works at all, which makes it seem all the more suspicious.
The best part was the Mega sized mozzarella cheesesticks. The worst part was the cigarette smoke. I had no idea what it was like to be in a place where thousands of people are smoking cigarettes indoors.
We opened the glowstick fairy wand, but had no chance to show it off. Its kind of a sad end to the fairy wand.
Sameer, @terry and I ate at Toro for restaurant week the other day. I think they might have the best calamari in town. Its not greasy and its topped with parmasean cheese slices and peperoncini.
Sameer was going for the madmen look with a tie and a martini.
We toured a bunch of green properties today. I am pretty sure I want solar panels and radiant floor heat. We were thinking of refinancing, maybe its a good time to look into it.
One of the houses had geothermal. I am still not sure how it stays warm.
OMG I want the LG Thrill 4g 3d phone. Unforunatelyvtge pics are only 3d on its screen.
Here are the stereoscopic images. The lg thrill screen interprets them for you into one coherent image - which is the magic part. You could however print them out and use them a stereoscopic viewer like they did in the old days Or you can just download the full size images, make them full screen, and cross your eyes. The illusionary 3d image that appears in the middle is a close approximation to what you see on a 3d screen but without eyes crossing.
Why does this message require either government spending on Disney or free advertisment for Disney. It makes me sick. Why not a generic exercise scene or some delicious looking healthy food?
Do most people even realize this is not just a Disney advertisment?
