Mike, his Car and Gameboy
(e:mike) I feel bad about your post-separation anxiety with your car [inlink]mike,225[/inlink]. My only hope is that you find my gameboy advance in there before you junk it or something. I think I left it in there, complete with flash cartridge and Warioware, the other night when we went with (e:terry) and (e:matthew) to Gabriel's gate

Here is a link to there guestbook. I guess they really do have the best wings in Buffalo. I should have just ordered them while we were there. I wish I would just bust out the epeeps restaurant review section.

For those of you that do not know the warioware game for gba, (e:shawnr) suggested it to me and it is by the the best game for short attention spans on the go. I played until I beat it and I don't even really like video games. In the game you play a million 2 second games that have no real instructions.

You just try and figure each one out as you go and by the time you get it, its on to the next game.

More thoughts on Advertsing
I contacted (e:sqb) about his thoughts on advertsing and he suggested that we contact the The West Side Times to see if they could review the site. So I wrote to them to see about it.

I really need to write a new site description. I agree with (e:liz) that the one on the flyer is a little to esoteric.

Satan Performing Miracles
Here is a picture I drew of satan performing miracles. According to the ghetto preacher we were listening to on the radio as we returned from Zoar Valley, "satan often does this to trick people." The preacher also said that it is dangerous to go to college because they teach you to by an athiest. He said that is why the most "intelligent" people are really fools.

Luckily, I heard him yesterday and promptly dropped out of the MFA program at UB. God forgive me, for I am educated.

Ronnie at the Volcano
I just found an email from my friend Ronnie in my inbox. Ronnie was one of Terry and I's best friends when we lived in Flagstaff, Arizona where we orginally met. She still lives in Phoenix . Ronnie also went to Germany for a while and stayed with us for about a month. I really miss her.

In the email she sent a picture of one of our favorite hangouts. A volcano in the middle of the desert just north of Flgagstaff and just south of the Grand Canyon.

Here I am at the same Volcano in 2000.

It is really an awesome place where this volcano exploded out of the desert floor and the lava froze into these crazy spires. I really miss it there.

What is up with these simultaneous posts both Robin at I at 16:10 and Chris and Keith at 14:41. Dare I say blog jinx? It is like mini zeitgeists.

Saving Journals
I just realized that you guys have no way to save your journals to anything, which is really weird. Everybody is writing and writing and I guess you can save each entry individually but there is no way to save a month or your entire journal. So I figure I will implement that next. I mean it is your journal, and your life, you need a way to save it efficiently.

So now the question becomes, what format do you want? Text format seems to be eternal but it is missing images. I think PDF's are also good, but the server we are using doesn't have the PDF libraries for PHP installed. Another possibility is that it save them as a static webpage with images and then zip the whole thing like a web archive. XHTML readers will be around forever. I could even just use XML files but do you guys know what to do with those.

Maybe, I could just make multiple options. Any ideas? My favorites are to save them as static web sites or PDFs. On another note, why does nobody use the A/V profiler foudn in your control panel with the mic icon.
