I saw this beerology advertisment in the Artvoice and thought some might be interested in going.

Not really sure about the details but it looks like you get a glimpse into the science of beer brewing. It's at the buffalo science museum on Friday, April 24th from 6-9PM and costs $25.

I am working on the new surebert toolkit while (e:terry) listens to his BioChemsitry class online. I swear it sounds like she keeps talking about a "fatty asshole, carny teen" but I think it is something else.

I have been working on the toolkit for like four days now. I think today is the last day.

Here is a fun pic form halloween 1994. What was (e:iriesara), raggedy ann or a prostitute? What was I? What was Heather?


Here is the up close.

Does anyone know anything about a (WIKIPEDIA - Geiger counter)? I really need one for a mapping site of radioactive places in buffalo. I am just so damn curious where it is radioactive and where it isn't and moblogging seems like the way to do this right now. I figure I will use an interface based on the interface seeing as no one is using it. This is defiantely a hint to click on the rememberbuffalo link right below the gather link on the right.

Seems useful and scary yet exciting. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about geiger counters other than I want one that is digital.



This nice USB one that works with mac and PC comes with a glow in the dark radioactive glass bead.



What freaks me out is that most of them come with a radioactive glass bead to test with. Just where or where do you store that? In a lead box. It is seriously the stuff kryptoniite is made of. Maybe this is a bad idea?

Vaseline Glass Test Source
Need a safe way to test out your geiger counter? Try our Vaseline glass bead. Vaseline glass is a type of glass with a small amount of uranium oxide added, which makes it glow under ultraviolet light (also called depression glass). This also makes it slightly radioactive. With the GM-10, we get about 200 CPM with the bead directly in front of the detector window, or about 0.2 mR/hr.



The bead is available for just $9.99, and may be ordered online or you can order by mail We're having a special right now, you can get 5 beads for just $39.99!
