On the Way To the FairWe are stuck downtown in a maze of traffic on the way to Hamburg for the Erie County Fair. It's been a couple years since I went here. it wasjust a little while before I met (e:matthew) 3 years ago. I went with Mike Glover as (e:terry) had to work.
I remember we took the NFTA Bus to the fair. I wish I had remembered that earlier, before the traffic jam. On the bus that day the driver ran a red light and Mike Glover called the NFTA headquarters from his cell phone and demanded she be repremanded and that he receives an appology letter. I believe he actually received one.
For some reason, everything going towards the skyway is completely blocked off. I am sure it is some sort of legitimate construction endeavour but I have to say that times have changed enough that I did think maybe someone blew it up for a minute. (e:matthew) even joked that maybe we should shut the windows in case of anthrax.
The delay gave me a lot of time to look on the web for buffalo links. I found the web page for SBI,
. I never heard of them before, but it sounds interesting for UB students. Click on the about link.
. . . Finally, 20 minutes later we are on the road again. Freaky farm animals and only on TV products - here we come.

itunes Music RipoffIn regards to (e:matthew) 's post [inlink]matthew,340[/inlink]
Luckily, I was actually able to recover the music drive on linux and copy the songs we wanted back over. The fact that I could recover the music was a miracle. I don't think your average joe would have been able to do it, which bring me to my point. Buying music at the iTunes music store is a ripoff unless you burn the songs to CD.
I think apple should have a database of purchases made at the apple store, and allow you re-download songs that you already purchased, at least 1 extra time!
