Poetry at it most reduced
I have seriously been working all day on my haiku project. It is now like 500 lines of code and insanely complicated but they are starting to sound better.

everybody(5) (5) , increasingly(4) rummaging(3) (12) , doleful(2) believing(3) (17) .

procrastinator(5) (5) , sometimes(4) excited(3) (12) , scarred(2) probably(3) (17) .

I like this one but it is a failure cause homogenized only has 4 syllables.
homogenized(5) (5) , elementary(5) scraping(2) (12) , frozen(2) working(2) few(1) (17) .

Good Night - Bad Night

I met (e:twisted) in Second Life tonight . She signed in as (e:estrip) who now has a makeover.

The good news I got to hang out with (e:twisted) who is otherwise separated from me by about 3,000 miles. Maybe she will get a job out of it and everything will be good - go QA!

On the downside, check this out (e:chris), I found out that someone stole my latest greatest idea. I have been thinkng about this for months and kept sitting on it without moving, as it is with every idea except this site, argh! Someone has opened ATM machines in secondlife where you can take out real money and a site where you can trade money to match

Why am I such an anti-magnet for anything profitable. Please somebody find me a job that involves web rogramming and porblem solving but makes money and is part of a fn team. Better yet find me an investor for my site.

100 million? 880 million? More?

Ok, the market in Simoleans, Linden Dollars, Hammers of Kick Ass, and whatnot are big -- we knew that -- but just how big. Just a couple days ago The New Scientist ran an article quoting Ted Castronova as putting the world wide sales of game currency etc. at 100 million (and also quoting some guy named Ludlow about this being a glimpse into the future -- whatever that means). Now, in his talk at State of Play, IGE President Stephen Sayler put the number at 880 million -- and he is certainly in a position to know. We are rapidly approaching a billion dollar market.

I sold 1/2 of my second life fortune for $121.00 in real life at 4:00am. What a thrill. It made me so happy to have real money from a fake world. Now it seems profitable but I could just kill myself for the thousands of Linden dollars I gave away because I thought they were totally worthless at the time.

If you join secondlife, please go through this as I some get credit.

Buffalobarfly.com
I know it's hard to see in this pic but Buffalobarfly.com has a banner just like the estrip banner on a house across from cozumel. I think we started a trend. Thanks again (e:jill) for the sewing.

Last Pics
The 'kick battery died during the trip because I forgot to charge it last night. These were the remaining pics from the journey to Hunter's creek in East Aurora.

For all you christians seeking guidance
Here is a great website for "christians"

Here is their film

"JESUS" is a remarkable film, full of drama. The attention to biblical accuracy catapults you back into the life and time of Jesus Christ. You walk the same historical streets, you experience the same wonderful miracles, and you are touched by the power of God as you relive the most important events in the history of mankind.
