A new Camera
Category: hardware
I bought this camcorder today. I am totally dissatisfied with the propriety nature of the video codec. It is like a DIVX movie but is some propriety samsung SEDG format. In order to use it I need to open the file with a hex edited, change instances of SEDG to DIVX and then run it through ffmpeg to turn it into flash video. Needless to say, it suffers along the way a bit which makes me question its usefulness. The camera itself rocks. It is so fast and responsive, it is tiny, has an external lense for head mounted recording and is an MP3 player, voice recorder, and and video cam. Too bad it's so proprietary. I really think that kind of crap needs to just end. I will probably return it.

It really ends up being no better than my cell phone.

I can't believe you bought that DV camera already. You are insane.

Gay Marriage Legal In New Jersey
Category: gay
Gay couples can marry in New Jersey now. Why is it so impossible to have it happen in New York.

But it's possible that lawmakers will designate civil unions, not marriage, as the route to provide such rights. They have 180 days to respond.



I guess it will probably never benefit me anyways but I really think that anyone should have the right to marriage or civil union or whatever so that they have the same benfits as a married couple.

I mean in general, doesn't society want to encourage monogamy, even if it is gay. It seems better than lots of single gay people being promiscuous.

now if only we can legalize polygamy, right Paul? ;)

Buffalo Sky Scraper
Category: downtown
Wow, who would have thought that buffalo would get a 1.2 million square foot business tower right on Niagara Square and Elmwood. I like the fact that the guy who is planning this new development is also committed investing $80 million in redeveloping the Statler Towers.

According to the news, the idea is to attract big businesses who have office in Toronto or New York to the lower operating costs in Buffalo.

Acording to the Buffalo News.

At 600 feet tall, the $361 million, ultra-contemporary glass and steel office, hotel and condo tower would eclipse the HSBC Center in height by 33 feet and would rank among the tallest buildings between New York City and Chicago... At $361 million, the mixed-use tower surpasses the price tag of all other downtown buildings. By comparison, the HSBC Center, built in 1972, sold last year for $85 million and currently is back on the market at $121 million.



Are they saying that HSBC doesn't own it's own tower? I had no idea. Maybe we should buy it, lol?

It looks like the secret that is Buffalo is out.

Well if ((e:strip)) hits the Mega or Powerball that could be a possibility or the only way to finance it.

From the Buffalo News: "At $361 million, the mixed-use tower surpasses the price tag of all other downtown buildings. By comparison, the HSBC Center, built in 1972, sold last year for $85 million and currently is back on the market at $121 million. "

Then again I wouldn't want to Pay off a out of town Real Estate "Flipper"

Fantastic idea.
iriesara - 10/25/06 19:32
okay, so I know I haven't lived in Bflo for awhile, but I'm confused....I'm guessing the skyscraper in the picture is the big tall one (duh). But what about that curved-looking structure in front of it? Is that part of it - or have they put up something new there already? Also, where would it be? I'm thinking on the opposite side of the circle? towards, what's that street called, Niagara? Where that bar was? (I know, real descript it's been awhile.... )

Crazy Sugar Gliders
Category: pets
The sugar gliders have had sex for about an hour now. Matt and terry had to pull them apart because she looked like she was done and he didn't want to stop. They really got crazy into it and were shaking and stuff. He did this weird thing where he held onto her and licked and prodded her spinal cord with his nose. She seemed to be really enjoying it until he started biting and hitting her when she tried to move away. Now they are fighting a lot and screaming. I know it is hard to imagine but it sounds like gremlins. It is so different than the mice we used to have that would have sex for about 30 seconds and then be done.

I would reccommend contacting the proper authorities. Maybe look into getting her into a women's shelter?
mrdeadlier - 10/25/06 08:38
True story: I actually had a dream last night where I stopped by your house and you introduced me to your sugar gliders. No joke. Weird... They definitely weren't behaving like that, though.

was gonna make a joke about tiny little cigarettes puffing away....but

estrippers
Category: estrip

Well this is really about stripping. First of all estrip.com is launching an amateur strip site in early November which is annoying but kind of funny. It is annoying because we spent years building up our reputation and image and now some idiots are going to get the two sites confused. It is one of those situations where we will always have to say no, not the strip site. Eventually this site will just become part of portablefriends.com and none of it will matter.


Hi All,
Just thought I would give you a heads up to some news...

A new large webcam strip site is about to launch in early November called .

I know for a fact they are currently recruiting models to perform on the site (the only requirement is to own a webcam, and be over 18). I also happen to know that they are paying out a whopping 50% comission to all new strippers, which is more than most sites.

Anyway, their email is performers@estrip.com if any of you are interested and want to make some easy money from home.

Regards,

Jason



We are technically elmwoodstrip.org anyways. I had tried to buy the domain name for years but it was always so expensive. The last person that owned it offered it to me for 1000 GBP but I was poor at the time (e:news,809)

On another note, (e:terry) actually entered into an amateur strip contest the other night and although (e:theecarey), (e:matthew) and I plus a few of our friends screamed and hooted louder than anyone he did not win. I think it was rigged.

That's so freaking hysterical!!! I love Terry - not a big surprise him stripping, I'm surprised it took so long! I wish I could see all three of you next week! Paul, email me your phone number, or call me if you have mine. I tried to call last night, but either couldn't remember your number, or you got a new one. hmm....
jason - 10/24/06 08:15
HAHA! Fuckin Terry. What a goof!
mk - 10/24/06 00:43
that is very funny that there will be the two websites with such similar addresses. i don't really have much else to say about that. it reminds me of whitehouse.com vs. whitehouse.gov. i believe white house.com is a pornographic site. please forgive me for this lame-o comment!!
mike - 10/23/06 23:15
I'm sorry we missed the strip show but we were having fondue out in the burbs. How could (e:terry) not win. What a sham!
