animalé

Cassie and I went to the Pittsburgh zoo today. It was great, they even have a huge aquarium. That would be a great job, wouldn't it? I would be in heaven if I could work for an aquarium!!
The Pittsburgh Zoo is larger than the Buffalo zoo, and it has more animals, but the variety of animals is the same. The Buffalo Zoo has probably a greater variety, because the PPG Zoo doesn't have a lot of smaller animals.
I took as many pictures as I could, but my camera battery died. Guess that is just an excuse to go back again soon!!
Does anyone have any pointers for taking pictures of monkeys behind glass??
You would think they would use an invisible forcefield instead. It is probably a lot more expensive though.

OK, here they are....










The elephant and the orangutan are my favorite shots.
Thanks for putting up with my amateur photos!

A mixed day!

The day started off bad and I think it is getting better.
First...the BAD...
Sadly, my G4 mac desktop died yesterday. It was old (400Mhz), but It was my first. All you mac users out there know what I am talking about. Luckily, It died after I finished backing up the hard drive. It was the hard drive that went. If I try to install Tiger, it doesn't see the drive as an available drive, and disc utility tells me there is a hardware error. I may fix it, or I just might let it go. It was my main internet and downloading /itunes computer. I'm not sure if I want bto use my pc for all that, seeing there are many virus and all...(what is the plural of virus???)

The good...
I am posting this from my new office! I am finally conected again.!!
Here is my new office.



I may get a harddrive and install linux on my older G4. Is there any issues with hardware I should know about? I will research that today.

at the café again

Free internet rocks. There is a huge mall 6 miles from my apartment. It has a Macy's, which I find strange, being that I grew up in western NY. Anyways, there is a Barnes and Noble of immense proportions. It has a free internet/Starbucks café. How cool, although I am boycotting Starbucks.... overpriced burnt coffee...yum!

Just thought I'd add to Metalpeter's thought . Sony has a ying yang like sign on there cell phones.

And Ladycroft, I would take you up on your tomato offer, but I don't think you want to drive to PA. Thanks anyway.

The one thing I miss about buffalo, is the roadways and driving. People in the Pittsburgh PA area drive like insane people. Nobody drive less than 15 over the speed limit. I almost died yesterday because someone cut me off at 70 in a 50mph work zone. And the roads are confusing down here. Road names take right turns at intersections, and there are 4 different Washington's within 5 miles of each other.
