I did a lot, managed to really hurt my neck again and still didn't dance.

Got a letter from Germany that the university I attended is having a 450 year anniversary and is inviting back all the Alumni. I would really like to go. I wonder if I can convince (e:matthew) . I should apply for italian citizenship first so that I can be all EU.

Taste of Buffalo was yummy. It is my favorite festival of all.

There were lots of people at The Taste Of Buffalo 07. I had fun with (e:terry) and (e:matthew) but no Taste of Buffalo is the same without (e:hodown) or (e:mike) , the biggest food enjoyers I know, neither of which I was with.


I ate craw dads, the main reason I like to go.





Everytime I see these cookies I think of (e:jim)


The polish sausage from the Polish Villa was tasty.


(e:terry) being attacked by a monster


Saw Matt Puchler - I was sad we didn't get to work together but it is really awesome working with (e:jim)

I finally painted the garage and the french doors on the back of the house. I am so happy as they really looked like crap before and it was stressing me out.





Then I attended Kenmore Days for the fireworks. Damn those people know how to put on a fireworks display. My cell phone can't manage fireworks pics like my real camera which is now totally missing in action.

I had my first taste of funnel cake, it was quite yummy.




I have been wanting to go dancing for so long but didn't notice Soma's chat post about the HEMF (music fest) on Grand Island until today ;(

Which led me to - I went to school with him in Kenmore. It is strange how our raver days never coincided. I think once when I was home and he was home we saw each other at a party. Now we are neighbors, he lives in the building behind us, but we haven't hung out - even though I saw him and said I would call. I am just not good at making friends or doing things other than computing / house repair.

This is crazy. I revamped the old email based posting system because (e:jim) and (e:jenks) 's iphones cannot do file uploads in mobile safari. This just blows my mind, it reminds me of my sidekick 1. I used to have the email posting system expressly for that phone. Why no file upload? They could easily just spoof it and allow you to only upload from your photo gallery instead of browsing the file system.

So anyways it gets worse. Not only can you only email photos via email. You can email only one photo per email. Basically, this translated to one picture per mobile entry from the iphone. And to make it even more ridiculous every attachment is named photo.jpg so that when they arrive the new ones were replacing the old ones.

I ended up writing a script that would take the file name and add part of the title after talking with (e:jim) about it. But as he pointed out, although I was able to script around it - what about all the grandmothers saving pictures of there grandkids all named photo.jpg. They will end up just replacing all the old photos.

Who the fucks decision was this. I think they should be fired.

Just testing out the system so that (e:jim) can send blogs from his iPhone.



I believe it works now. (e:jim) just make sure you have it setup in your mobile control panel and use the old instructions.

The title is a reference to the book of Michael, chapter 1. Michael Visco that is.

First, at Walgreens they have these ridiculous "signature hounds" that people are supposed to want for collecting graduation signatures. Isn't that what year books are for? Imagine having to store a yearbook and a giant signature hound in your memory box.





We had my parents over for dinner on the porch. We would have eaten in the backyard but the weather made that no so possible. Plus its so fun to have other people desire what we are eating.

It is nice to eat with the family.


The organic cherries at the coop were so darn yummy.


They had these cards asking how much money you spent at local business today or something. What the frick are you supposed to write on this? I mean I am all about local business but this is too much.




My mother made the yummiest BLT dip. It was very bacontastic.



We bought some cakes at Dolci on Elmwood. I love that place. One was lemon and one was rum cassata.



And we ate crab legs


I really had so much to say when I started this but decided that none of it was appropriate ;(

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.
