ATM
Seeing as I haven't finished the low res foto site I decided to just upload some more pictures here until I am done. I took this picture because I remember when such things looked futuristic. Oh how times have changed. I looks like a duplo (legos for babies) set to me now. In case you are wondering where this picture was taken, it's from "We Never Close" on elmwood.

I have some other major projects in line before the foto site, however, rest assured that it will developed.

Weirdest Phonecall Ever
I get a phonecall from a Dmitiri and figured it was the new landlord because I heard he was eastern european from the realtor. I turned out to be a job recruiter. I keep getting so many calls and emails, it is crazy. Anyways, he seemed excited about my resume, etc and then when it got down to it he asked me if I had any other offers. I told him about the possibility of the alamedanet project and he told me I need to get the hell out of buffalo while I can. He was so excited for me to move to SF and kept saying do I really want to end up 45 with a wife and 3 kids in buffalo an dno way out.

Then I told him I have to finsish my theis and ha dthe possibility of a professorship job in the fall. He asked me how old I was and I said that I was 27. He then replied that, "Do you really want to be a professor at 27, you need ot get out and live your life." San Fracnisco is so cool, Buffalo is a dying city.

How am I supposed to feel about this? He is kind of making fun of my home town.

Communists Are Going to Buy IBM
Lenovo, which is partly owned by the Chinese government , is going to buy IBMs PC division. The "communists" are going to buy IBM PC division. This is so surreal.


Does anyone know about IBM's sorted history with the Nazis ?

Black explains that ultimately, IBM helped the Nazis carry through their policy of genocide. Without this assistance, Hitler’s regime would not have been able to carry through its extermination plan with such efficiency.
