So we pull over because of an accident in this tiny little town and I think., "hm, I am next to a store, maybe there is internet." and sure enough, the factory default NETGEAR network cam eto the rescue. I wish I had realized this would happen and had brought my laptop.

It won't stop raining and shouldn't stop till the end of our trip. I can't wait for the freakin' taste of buffalo. It sounds so samn tasty.

Tmobile sucks out here. I haven't had cell service since the trip satrted and we got to the adirondacks. I kept writing journal entries but I had no way to send them. I guess you guys will get the stories all at once.

We are some little town in vermont. I just realized that just about everywhere in the USA there are free wirless home and business networks. Like, I knew it before, but here we are in the tiniest little town and there are four. My cell phone hasn't worked the entire time we were in Vermont or in the adirondacks

I'm getting buffer everyday that i move instead of type. (e:matthew) took this great photo of me. He is such a good photographer.



I miss my journal so bad it makes me sick. I wrote a hundred million things I will have to post later because I need to go now.

Wow, I feel like a loser now. Google earth is pretty much my dream application. As I mentioned about a year ago [inlink]paul,952[/inlink], I used to love keyhole's earth browser software that google bought. I thought, oh google is just going to buy it and re brand it, but it seems that they majorly improved upon it by adding a connection to their search engine. It makes gogole maps seems pathetic.

You will need a pretty modern computer to get it running but once you do you will need a whole day to explore the world from Buffalo to Tokyo. You can fly from everywhere to everywhere and find tons of added user data, map data, driving directions, food search, topography, satellite images and best of terrain and build structures. Even buffalo's buildings are completely 3d modeled.

Here is where the taste of Buffalo will be tomorrow. I will definately be there but someone else is going to have to send cell phone pics because mine are still in quarantine.



You can even leave way points on the map and with the google plus version you can add polygons, use your gps, and do much more. Now I want it.

Just before vacation this came out and I couldn't play with it becausee they had stopped the download for some reason. Now it is back up and free as ever.

Here's the obligatory one the way post. I hope it works because I was tampering with the moblogging system before I left. I know this a real vacation because I don't have a computer but I do have a whole full pouch of rolling tobacco, a raft and a towel. Tomorrow I will be swimming around naked in the middle of nowhere. I know my phone doesn't work there. At least it didn't last year - maybe t-mobile expanded it's footprint.

(e:emilyjane) might be coming out to meet us. I told her to just yell in the forest till we hear her. I hope that works!!

It's always best not to make a milion changes just before you leave town for the middle of nowhere but I didn't follow my own advice so hopefully yhe site works while I'm away. If not I'm sorry.

Check out the site poetry link. See ya peeps.

NEW YORK - New York officials on Wednesday unveiled a new plan for the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero, saying the 1,776-foot-tall skyscraper had been redesigned to meet security concerns and would be even more elegant than originally envisioned.

Police had refused to sign off on the building's design two months ago, voicing concerns that its base was too close to the sidewalk and could not be adequately protected against a truck bomb attack.

Because of the changes, the 20-ton granite cornerstone that was laid with great fanfare by New York Gov. George Pataki last Fourth of July will have to be moved.

That thing is so gonna get blown up. I hate to sound callous but if anyone dies it in, I honestly won't even feel bad for them - unless it is (e:hodown) and even then it will only last about 5 minutes. After the original towers were bombed and then blown up, who would ever set foot in the new even more groteque "freedom tower." It's just screaming bring me down. I can almost here George Bush's texas twang when I say freedom in my head now. That word has become so perverted at this point.
