So here it is, maybe the worlds first moblogged ferris wheel experience, live from 125 feet up above Hamburg, NY. Amazingly from up here you can see the lake, most of downtown Buffalo, and the Central Terminal. It cost 3.75 for the 5 tickets it took to get up here.

(e:holly) and (e:matthew) were taking higher resolution pics with there camera and we commented that we spent more our our time documenting than just living our experiences.

Since developing the site, however, I definately spend more time socializing with my mobart than I did doing 3D models in the lab. It was a good example of long hours of programming paying off by making my life much easier in the long run.

We saw the farm animals, ate some of them, then found kettle corn, the indian village and now its time for the midway. At least we are skipping all the sicky-flip rrides and moving straight on to the ferris wheel. I am going to document the whole ride.





Here is the ferris wheel as we approach it.

This is the grand champion waterfowl. She is seriously beautiful. Here is also a glimpse of the midway but this photo doesn't do it justice, it is really giagantic.

We 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.

In 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!
