Visco, Italy
Category: web

I found where I probably came from Visco, Italy

Unfortuntely, that little town also had a concentration camp. That is how I found out about it.

On another note I found this thing I wrote for Trebor's class two years ago

I am a second year MFA student whose primary interests are 3D modeling and Digital Online Communities. I teach Digital Media Arts at Canisius College in Buffalo. Originally, I was studying to be a German instructor when I got addicted to computers on the streets of Thueringen. I tried several kinds of virtual "rehab" from but decided to just submit to my addiction and teach computer graphic arts instead of German, satisfying both my addiction and my love for teaching. I am especially interested in the economies of digital communities, the move away from video toward avatars in online space and the social implications of digital communication.

Student Lab Checkin Database
Category: work

My first job ever involving computer coding was to code a student lab user checkin. It is amazing how much easier it was this time around when I had to make one for canisius. I think it cam eout pretty good. It lets admin users login in the specific lab. Then they can check students in. When students check cue up in the checkout list where a fancy javascript counts down the seconds, displaying how many minutes they have been in the room, updated in realtime.

Once the lab assistants log them out, the student data gets cued into a progress report which can be emailed ot the professors.

Go Buffalo Rising
Category: buffalo rising

Glad to see Buffalo Rising

got their site up and running. For some reason it is really slow even on my super fast adelphia connection right now. Maybe it is because everyone is trying to see the page for the grand opening. It is pretty cute.

The Pink
Category: allen

Last night ended at the pink. I snapped some pics in order to remember the pink when I'm old. From the video games to the beer sign and patio.

Pizza on Allen
Category: food

At 4am most people on Allen are heading over to Jim's Steakout, we decided to check out the Pizza place near Gabriel's Gate.

There is pizza is somewhat flat and lacking on the chese/sauce but it is cheap and at that time of night there arwe not many more options. Plus it was quickly ready.

I tried there pizza before it was ok. NY style isn't the best. So I say it isn't the place it is the type of pizza. That had to be a few years ago atleast.

It was also 4am!

hmm... that's a drag. The pizza there must have gone downhill. We used to get it all the time when we lived over on Linwood, and it was pretty good. It's New York style, so it's supposed to be thin, but whenever we got it, it was never lacking in cheese... sometimes they had too much. Weird.
