I was cleaning up the file system on my mobile phone and found these on the storage card.

When walking to thursday in the square with (e:eknot) the other week I saw this sign on La Lunas while we were buying Italian sausages (the food) outside. That is a serious amount of regulations.


I found some pics I actually took at Gay Pride in Toronto with my phone. Too bad I accidentally took them in black and white mode.




The food I ate in toronto was so yummy. Something with dried appricots, watercress and chicken in a grand marnier sauce. Yum!


We now only go grocery shopping once a month, its getting ridiculous how much we buy at once.


The roses in the backyard are pretty, they would be much prettier with the Nikon camera.


Here are some leftovers from when (e:matthew) and I went to San Francisco back in March.

I was amazed at how overflowing the park trash was in San Francisco. There are some things that make having a booming population not so great.


When in San Francisco I saw these drips grafittied on a wall. I really like the style.


It is so simple, look at it up close. From further away they look wet.


Here we have (e:matthew) eating shrimp at the San Francisco airport. We splurged figuring it might be our last meal ever.

I want my camera back so bad!! We went to Urban Roots and Buffalo Salvage this afternoon. The Urban Roots garden center place seemed pretty cool, unfortunately we already had most of the kinds of flowers they offered.





After we went to Buffalo ReUse , a non-profit organization aimed at reusing building material from housing that are being demolished. They are located next to the Washington Market downtown. They have some job opportunities open too

I can't believe how many houses are awaiting demolition in our city.

Organizational Overview
Buffalo ReUse, Inc. is a new not-for-profit organization committed to developing the practice of deconstruction to create a community minded alternative to demolition. In Buffalo, there are estimates that between 10 and 20,000 structures await demolition and the city has tentative plans to demolish 1,000 houses a year indefinitely. Deconstruction, the careful disassembly of a building in the opposite order that it was originally created, is the vehicle for diverting reusable materials from the landfill; providing a source of high quality materials for homeowners; providing meaningful job opportunities; and creating positive changes in the neighborhoods in which we work.

Looks like they are just starting but there is a similar place in Rochester that seems more established

We also went and took a look at the building being demolished on Delaware near Niagara Square that (e:metalpeter) wrote about the other day.

I went with (e:jim) to the apple store so we could look at iPhones. He ended up buying one. I am kind of jealous because its a sexy device but it really didn't do what I wanted and I don't need another device for the collection if it can't replace all the other devices. I seriously can't justify another device that doesn't do everything.



1. No instant messenging.

2. No tethering using it as a modem for your laptop on the go.

3. Slow, like really way slow compared to sprint.

4. No terminal, no ssh

5. No streaming radio. I have no interest in having lots of space for mp3s. I don't even have them on my lappy barely because I like the surprise of internet radio and have become accustomed to it.

6. No bluetooth means no GPS, no wireless syncing.

7. No way the battery could outlast the double battery I have on my phone right now and the battery is not easily accessible for switching.

8. No flash or java.

9. No third party apps.

10. There doesn't appear to be a file browse for uploading pictures from your phone to a website. LAME!

Look I found this later on macrumors. The battery is soldered on so you really can't switch it easily.

Here I am using a Cisco IP phone but not the iPhone at 6:00PM on Friday, June 29th when really I should be getting my hands on my new shiny iPhone that I am not going to get. (e:jim) we should have gone just for the hype.



My tooth hurts so much. I definitely need to go to the dentist now. It has a giant hole in it. I guess I probably eat too much candy.

Had a meeting with Algonquin Studios about purchasing licenses for surebert from Roswell to use in their products. I am very confused how it will all pan out because I developed a ton of it before working at Roswell back into 2004. I hope to at least land some sort of percentage of the profits.

Saw one of my former students, Mike Spencer who works there.

(e:fellyconnelly) when do you arrive and how do you say your username? God I love this laptop now. It was playing second life, recording this video, running windows and mac, and the net all at the same time.

I went back into secondlife. I still have a lot of money there. If I cashed it in for American Dollars it would be worth about $450. Thats brings me to over $1000 I would have made from that game. I am so torn between selling the land and money for an iPhone or not.
