First of all Nick, do you really think that after all you put me through, I would ever help you with anything?
Then google earth
is amazing. I loved it since it was Keyhole. They now have a nice linux binary installer. That is fantastic. My house has now been added as a 3D model, even if it just is a giant cube.
The hospital is just a big chunky block thing. It seems that you can build better texturized models with google sketchup and then upload them to google earth. HSBC has one, I wonder if Roswell Park will ever want one.
Here is how I walk home.
I bought a tiny microchip a while ago that can remember everywhere it went for two weeks and saves the data in KML the format that google earth reads to plot maps. It seems like I just need a fun project for it now.
I spent the evening electronically walking down millionaire row, the name for the fanciest part of Delaware, where all the mega mansions are. The Buffalo As An Architectural Museum site
is a great place for pictures inside the homes. Did anyone else know that Delaware and North was considered the premiere property in buffalo? To bad the beautiful mansion there faces a Walgreens instead of a hill down to the city.
This is the first mansion at that corner.
It was replace by this amazing one. Why couldn't I have been a rich industrialist. I guess I would have missed computers.
The people that built these mansion were the least responsible preservationists. They knocked down the giant beautiful mansion that were there before to built the ones there now.
Here is the pre-knox mansion, mansion on the same plot
Here is the mansion they built.
They caught a very giant squid near Austalia. Look at its giant body trial out the back. It is just screaming lemon, garlic.
Someone beat us to cancer fundraising in SecondLife.
Look
(e:terry), it is the old hotel we used to live in jena.
The Dancer footwear makes sense to me because when a couple goes to gather then if she is going to do the dance at home she has the shoes. Not to mention they have all kinds of toys so you might as well sell the shoes. The smoking stuff at first sounds odd but if you are allready in the area why travel all the way down Hertal if you can get it where you get your porn. The thing I wonder is if they sell the glass Dildos. Yes they do make forged glass dildos for those of you who don't know, they do look kinda cool to. If they do I wonder if the same glass company makes them and glass bongs or if one of the other companies they buy from makes somking stuff and sex stuff. Or who know maybe there are bongs out there in the shapes of cocks that can be used as both. I guess I will need to go visit there some day soon again.
My voice teacher still uses a recording device like that. Unfortunately I could see myself having to get one to record my students' voice lessons. I currently use my iPod and a microphone to record my own lessons, but I can't expect every student to have that type of technology. If there was some kind of device that recorded directly onto a CD or memory card or something, that would be nice. Tapes are awful but they seem to be easiest for the time being. I can't believe those recording devices are so expensive though.
what's crazier is the $30-40 they're charging for them!
Back when I went to school Ithaca, the porn shop was also the head shop. I remember thinking at the time that it was weird but that "porn shops everywhere in New York state must be like that." It was funny how they didn't advertise the whole 420 thing and taped on the glass case holding the bongs was a sign stating that all water pipes were strictly "for tobacco use only".
As for the tape recorders, I am quite familiar with the price labels sitting below them. As a former rat shack employee, I can testify that such tape recorders are probably some of the least ancient stuff they have. Back when I worked there about eight years ago, they had freaking reel-to-reel tape and phonograph cartridges and those tape casettes you used in answering machines back in the day. And that was the stuff on the shelves! The really, really old stuff you'd typically find in the clearance bins (I think at some point they got rid of the bins, so no more good photo ops there).
