Mucho dinero
14-15 years turned $40-50 into $1025.
I hear a sealed copy of Chrono Trigger went for even more.

Night...Category: random
When you're roaming the city after 4 AM Friday Night/Saturday Morning what, if anything, is there to do?
Sometimes I just want to keep going.

Not sure how late Jim's Steak out is open maybe 4 or 5am not sure. It used to be that Spot was open 24 hours. I thought that someone could make some good money on some type of place that served food aimed at the bar crowd (does panos still stay open all hours of the night) maybe from just around happy hour to like 11 am so you could also sell breakfast.

All it's been my experience that all nights out in Buffalo eventually lead to Jim's Steak Out.

I don't think there is much of an after hours scene in Buffalo, unless you are partying at someone's apartment, etc

Ada LovelaceCategory: geek - * ald09post
It is Ada Lovelace day.
The story of women in computing is pretty sad actually. In the early days, teams of female programmers worked on the systems of the time. This was during the war.
When the war ended, they were forcibly removed. Those that clung to their career weren't exactly treated with respect. One woman that excelled in spite of this is the late Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.
"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission"
She created the first compiler and was involved in the team behind the Univac I. I've always thought of her story as an amazing one.
Can you imagine how different the IT field would be if a small group of people didn't succeed in turning software development into a boys club? These women excelled at this work. All this prescribed gender role bullshit is absolutely unnecessary. It's a real shame.

Nice post. I love (love love love) science and technology; wish I went for more formal education within it. However, nothing stops me from learning and having fun (yes, fun) with any and all of it on my own.

We have a bunch of woman programmers at my work and until just recently had a female VP of information technology who was there for 10 years.

No, I don't think they are averse to Sci and Tech. Beeker here is a scientist. Given that more women than men are in college and graduate schools in this country, these days any woman can join the party. Why aren't they? I'll bet the answer isn't very flattering.

It is amusing to think that the first computers were based on the loom: a machine operated by thousands of woman.

Yeah, exactly. It's the stereotype of the computer geek that turns people off.
Do you really think women are naturally adverse to science and technology? I don't think so.

The National Center for the History of Electronic Games is having its opening day tomorrow.
Its a section of the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. I might just have to make my way up there at some point this weekend.

The museum of play is lot of fun. The little wegmans there is a kind of cool but evil reminder of the consumerist tendencies we are cultivating in our kids.
And if you make it, I will be in Rochester as well. Don't know if we will be able to meet up though... I would love it if we could go to Abyssinia but my friend obviously has "out there" plans for me that she won't reveal till the last minute.

That too. :)
Maybe. I just think it would be nice to be unfettered and not have to worry about too much of that kind of possible loss.
I think its a character-building exercise to give away your most treasured pack-ratted stuff. :)
Oh, come now. It's nostalgia. If you have the money to obtain something rare which will remind you of joyful times past, then wouldn't you?
If not, I'd understand. I think I'm a bit of an anti-packrat. Thinking of ebaying, or giving away to friends, some of my desired, but not quite adored, merchandise. And I don't even have that much.
Just when you thought there weren't any more creative ways to waste money... Haha
