Back in the day
Does anyone remember this week long site incarnation just prior to the Winter 2003 blue scheme? Looking back, I believe it was the inspiration for the current site incarnation.

So What Did Happen Last Night
Yesterday night I went to (e:rachel) 's party. As far as I could tell it seemed successful. I at least had fun with the regular epeeps gang. I noticed other epople seeming to have fun under the stairs too.

I also saw Dawn there who still hate me supposedly because of my anti-military stance. I think it is funny, I just decided it would be easier to ingnore her than have to engage in any conversation about it as she is not really worth it, in terms of friendship value.

Afterwards, I met this kid named James who is going to UB in the fall. The crazy part is that I think he lives in (e:soyeon) 's house. He was describing his apartment and it seemed like the exact same building.

When I got home at 5 in the morning I decided to go ahead and check the email from my site account and found that in fact I did have a ton of email I was not dealing with.

Has anyone seen Buffalo Rising Magazine. It seems pretty neat. I would like to get a review of the site in the next issue. I wonder what that would take.

Ferris Wheel
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.

The Midway
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.

More Fair
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.
