day of vr with shawnr and co
Category: estrip
(E:terry), (e:lilho) and I met up with (e:shawnr) [inlink]shawnr,144[/inlink] to go see the virtual reality demo at the coit house. I think it is tomorrow night too. I made the environment and character models for the last environment "The trial the trail."

We saw The Thing Growing the Trial The Trail and another one called metaspace.

The show was part of the infringement festival. Dave Pape made a pretty cool new VR piece in 24 hours. It mapped out your dancing and made music. It was pretty rad. It was nice to see my models alive. I look forward to continueswork on that project in the fall.

We also got to see josephine and dave's new baby. She is so cute.

The coit house is for sale for 149,000, it is a pretty great space . The oldest house in Buffalo, the Coit house (built 1813) was moved from Pearl street to Virginia in 1863. I'll post a link to it when I get back to the comp.

Today I also found all these george bush spray painted icons on elmwood. I wonder who made them.

Out at the Pink
Category: estrip
So for the last two nights I ended up at the pink. One night to hang out with Cassie where I almost died, and one night to hang out with (e:iriesara). Last night (e:rzoo) and (e:terry) traded clothes at the bar. (E:rzoo) ended up in a wife beater and painter shorts and (e:terry) ended up in a frock like dress. I am excited to work with (e:rzoo) in the fall.

We also went to the essex and saw Carrie with the dreadlocks. She still works there. Does anyone else know who I mean? i love her, she is one of the coolest people in buffalo. She lives next to the coop and was telling me about how horrible it was with their early morning deliveries. I remember living next to it on Lexingon and it was the same. Beep, beep, truck noise at the crack of dawn beep.

She also said it looks like a walgreens but at least a walgreens would be able to devlop her film 24 hours a day.

It is so crazy to try and figure out the web of crazieness between (e:joshua), (e:robin), (e:jason), (e:drclorine) and the peep formally know as (e:soyeon). We spent like a hour analyzing comments and chat to figure it out.

I have very strong feelings about this shit because I've been the guy who has been cheated on, mistreated, abused, and kicked to the curb. I absolutely HATE when someone uses someone else as a means to an end - whether it's as "innocent" as scamming drinks off a guy, or whether it is something akin to this Soyeon situation, it bothers me to the core. People who think they don't need to be accountable to anyone else are shitheads. Nuff said.

Is anyone surprised about this?

The Discovery crew have reported seeing widespread environmental destruction on Earth.

They warned that greater care was needed to protect natural resources.Quoted from: No second repair job for Discovery

LOL I remembered hunting down the article after hearing about it somewhere first, I just couldn't remember where I had heard about it.

Out at Roxy's for Karoki I met these people who have livejournal's but also know about Buffalo Taxi. Apparently some service that picks people up in rickshaws and takes them around town. Matt Mendo is coolest son of bitch, he is going to join the site. UPDATE: Matt Mendo is a loser and he is ugly. lol. I guess I will say anything to get people to start a journal.

Comments and Inlinks
Category: estrip
I don't think anyone has inlinked gohelp:inlinks since the advent of comments and it is quite sad. It is amazing how many things get unused and how fast things change. Has anyone used their epad ever?

I knew that this would happen when we added comments after years of avoiding them. On one hand, the comments allow people to receive the direct public gratification that someone is in fact reading what they write, which encourages publication but on the other hand the information doesn't necessarily flow between journals as much as before. Imagine if the entire (e:soyeon) art controversy had played out as comments. Maybe it would have never made it into such a big deal! Maybe (e:soyeon) would be here today!

Just to bring inlinks back to life, I will add one here [inlink]paul,731[/inlink]. Wow I can't believe how wrong I was asking for 80 degree weather, now I want the 40 degree weather!

hahaha, name calling. I like ignorant little girl. That takes the cake. What a wonderful sterotype. I hope I can live up to it.
joshua - 08/04/05 00:59
Robin you are a fucking ignorant little girl. I've worked the past two months in climates you wouldn't have the guts or the pocketbook to step into. R U DOWN? LOLZ
robin - 08/03/05 23:55
Try 90 degree weather, Paul.
fat white Republicans
are you down?
joshua - 08/03/05 23:29
Perhaps you are right, but if DrC claims she was a drama queen then I think the final result was an inevitability.
