google transit
Category: life

Something interesting that I just found out is that Google now has a site where you can get transit directions for most cities:

So if you are lost without a car and have web browser capabilities on your cell phone, you might be able to find a way to get home.

I've been doing okay. Some days, better than others. I have been back in Albany for a couple of weeks now. My classes have been interesting, and my job is doing well. II hope all of you are having a great time in Buffalo!

Yeah, I wish they would hurry up and release it for Buffalo! But I suppose its somewhat low on their todo list.

cyber warfare
Category: tech

Apparently, Russia and Georgia is at war. I didn't even knew they were fighting, but I guess its been a long-term conflict that has recently escalated.

The strange thing about is that hackers in the Russian Federation is actively attacking governmental, military, and personal sites in Georgia. Hackers spam the sites to the point where they stopped running. It's considered by some to be cyber warfare.

Such a waste of energies and time. :/

Good to know I have a twin out there! :) Unfortunately, I was not at the Shakespeare at the Park thing. Maybe next time when you are in town!

In my experience/observation, hackers are loyal only to their addiction to breaking into machines and doing immature/destructive things to them. Whenever conflicts (wars, mohammed pictures, whatever) break out, usually these events serve as an excuse for the hackers to take some time out from compromising and screwing up machines in their own countries (and the rest of the world) and compromising machines in the opposing country. The tit-for-tat retaliatory hacking that goes back and forth between countries is almost more a form of competition between hackers of the opposing countries (as opposed to an actual war).

shakespeare in the park!
Category: buffalo

Aaron and I are going to see Shakespeare in the Park this Saturday, the 26th. The play is a comedy, "the Merry Wives of Windsor". It is a performance that is free to the public in Delaware Park.

I don't know if anyone is free that night, but if you are interested, it would be awesome to meet up with people there.

Your yellow-orange waistcoat sounds cool! Thanks Tiny for commenting:).

Sounds like fun. Have a good time. I am not sure I will be able to make it but I shall try! If I turn up, look for a puny (4"11.something') Indian with a 90 degrees short broom-hair, a crazy grin and an equally crazy YELLOW-ORANGE waistcoat over black T-shirt and nondescript jeans.

America
Category: poems

I Hear America Singing- Walt Whitman

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand
singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter's song, the ploughboy's on his way in the morning, or
at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of
the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day--at night the party of young fellows,
robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

(Happy 4th of July, (e:peeps)).

That was me. I probably should have introduced myself. Some of the music you listen to seems like it would be interesting.

BTW, thanks so much for the last.fm friend-list. You are circleoflight, right? There is an (e:empireoflight) here on (e:strip) and I was a trifle confused but the profile pic resembles you. :)
