Saratoga Spring
This little town rocks. It's looks kind of resortish but it is chock full of nice non-chain restaurants and bars and has lots of outdoor local music stuff going on. It reminds me of Ithaca. We are in a rush now, but I would like to come back here sometime.

On the way here we went past Seneca Falls National Woman's Suffrage Monument. I have seriously been there about 10 times, each time in some unexpected way.

Right south of there on Cayuga Lake is Taughanock Falls S.P. which consists of a long trail through the woods with a giant high up waterfall at the end. I suggest you check it out if you are over near there. When Terry and I were there another time a couple years ago, this dude waited at the top of the 200 foot cliff and kept peeking over. Everyone aid, "watch out he's gonna kill himself" and then he jumped and fell. About 1/4 the way down he opened a parachute and landed safely. Needless to say everyone was terrifieds before they saw the parachute.

(e:matt) took pictures of the falls when we were their last month and posted them to his journal. Unfortunately, I can't make inlinks from the car!

Keep On Trucking

So we are on the way out east and eventually we will hit the ocean and camp at cape cod. Tonight we are staying in the adirondacks at bear camp, could be crazy. (e:mike) is moving into our house for the week with (e:jill). It will be a good trial run at having their own apartment.

I am excited because this will be my first moblogged vacation. I think the only time I will reach unconnectivity is in the mountains till Monday. After that, according to t-mobile coverage map , which is a really cool flash application, I should be set. I will be using a similar "mapplication" copyright visco 04 in my epeeps tracking system for epeeps.net . (e:rachel) , I need to talk with you about this when I get back.

In cape cod we are staying near provincetown in a place called pilgram. We are camping right at the beach . I am pretty excited about touching salt water with my body.
I had another local web site idea where people can keep anonymous blogs about their deviant and erotic sexual behavior. I think we all know tons of people that would really get into this. I am sure it would generate cash that we could use the money to pay for estrip and epeeps.

I realized that Paul Visco's (my) tongue is really long and wide.

It would be like our digital prostitute and we, it's pimp. No seriously, I think it could really work for a lot of people and bring exhibitionists together with voyeurs. I just don't want my own journal, to be resposible for what it becomes, and I would need a lawyer. On the brrght side I think the audience would be wider and the potential for advertising money would be so great which means estrip, the more meaningful project could grow.
I would rather have my eyes ripped out than advertise on estrip but would have no bad feelings about advertising, on the sex site. Now I just need a catchy name and some details. What do you'll think?

Switch Your Browser Now
By now I am sure you have all heard about the viruses on web pages that track your keystrokes. Even my parents heard about it, and they are by no mean computer savy.

According to the article
This week, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, part of the Department of Homeland Security, advised Internet users to "consider" using a different Web browser as a possible solution until Microsoft fixes the flaw that allows Explorer to be exploited.

I agree switch to mozilla firefox . It is what I use when designing and viewing elmwoodstrip.com. I have noticed that 60% of you still visit here coming from Internet Explorer. You are risking so much using software that is poorly constructed and hated by the millions of people that want to see microsoft collapse.

Mozilla firefox is open source and best of all its free. It is avaiable for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. You can get a copy by clicking on the "get firefox" link at the bottom of the (e:info) journal's link list or clicking here . I have made this so easy , you have no excuse not to protect yourself and switch.

Here is a link [inlink]paul,627[/inlink] to another entry I wrote a while back on this and other open source, free, and useful software.

Sadness on Elmwood at Coffee&
I decided to venture on out of the house tonight to see elmwood first hand. Right now I amat Coffee& waiting for (e:mike).

image

Everyone thinks I am busy typing so they are talking freely about how it might close cause no one comes here. It is so sad cause newly corporosized spot is packed. As a matter of fact, I went by spot first and had to leave cause I remember how corporate they were getting and that they were going to franchise into the middle east.

I think there are two problems here at Coffee&. The first one is location. It is slightly more hidden than spot. They also don't appeal as much to the nouveux riche suburban crowd because of their deco. I mean it definatelt, appeals to the hippie elmwood crowd but that'snot the crowd with the expendable income.

I also heard their Coffee wasn't that great although, honestly, it tasted good to me. If they had the best coffee in town people would come no matter what.

The counter boys were saying they should make advertisments on their own initiative. When is the last time you heard a worker say something like that. They must actually repect their employer and enjoy their work.

The one dude just said, "I haven't even gotten paid yet and I would carry a sign down the street. We gotta do something" He is right.

I remember when Buffalo used to be full of coffee houses. Anyone remember the old topic? I used to be a chess champion there, I also used to love how the young and old would integrate their and share a cultural experience. None of that at starbucks. Starbucks sucks, first off cause it's full of corporate fuckheads and pretentious yuppies but also because its the equivalent of a coffee walmart. They clearly moved in here to destroy local business. I mean even if the coffee market sucks they will survive till everyone else closes.

I am so mad that elmwood is going corporate. And now that the coopisdoing their knock down and rebuild it crap, everychain store on earth is going to follow. When will they just put a glass ceiling over the top and open a rainforest cafe.

My Last Poster Against Smoking
Everyone said the lunch crunchies [inlink]paul,1246[/inlink] were too cute to be effective, so I added this new one, that is the blackness of satan. By the way I was once called the blackness of satan by my old roomate in South Carolina.

Anyways, it worked for me, one week since I quit and I am willing to brave the pink tonight.

This lung crunchie is like the gremlin that got wet. I might just try and get a job with those canadian cigarette companies!
