Get Trashed at the Square
E-Cycling at Lafayette Square
What: Electronics Recycling Collection Event
When: Tuesday, June 29
Times: 8:00am - 3:00 pm
Where: Lafayette Square
Why: To raise money for the Educational Technology Foundation of WNY (Ed Tech Day)
How: Bring old electronics and metal items to the event for free* recycling
infoTech Niagara is partnering with Shatter IT and Sunn King for our second annual E-Cycling collection event at Lafayette Square to benefit the Educational Technology Association of WNY (Ed Tech Day.)
Getting trashed at the square is a great way to have some fun while also donating to a charity. No, we don't mean that kind of trashed, we mean taking a sledge hammer and trashing old electronic equipment for charity and achance to win some great prizes.
In addition to trashing old equipment we are also recycling old electronics. We will have a street side drop off near Lafayette Square along with drop offs at three area parking lots:
AllPro Lafayette Court Surface Lot
BCAR's Main Place Ramp
Adam's Ramp
We will also provide pre-arranged pickup services for any nearby companies. There is no cost for any equipment except CRT monitors and TV's which cost $8 per piece with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Educational Technology Foundation of WNY (Ed Tech Day.)
For more information or to schedule a pre-arranged pickcup of electronics to be recycled, please call 716.685.4577 or email info@esunnking.com

Lots of thanks and loveThanks everyone for such a great party. Special thanks to PMT for hosting and (e:mike) for doing so much work before hand getting food and booz and making jello shots. I loved that it was Golden Girls themed. It is a particularly rare event for me to sleep until 1pm.
It was definitely a crazy night. Getting locked in a cage for like 20 minutes was probably the highlight of the evening. Looking forward to seeing many of you throughout the weekend!

I reckon you are still are ok despite the horrors you see. If this didn't bother you, then I would starting worrying about you. What you are experiencing is a manifestation of an essential part of what makes you you - your caring and compassion. It is hard to see suffering and not be moved.
This shit isn't easy to see. And I fear the worst is yet to come.

You're only 30?!I was telling somebody about me and (e:brit)'s 30th birthday party tomorrow and I thought he said to me "You're only 30?!" I was so mad until Mike told me that he said "Really, you're 30?!" Big difference. I could care less about getting older as long as I don't look older than my real age.
So party tomorrow 24 Linwood. I'm making my bean dip and cowboy caviar. Mike is making chicken wing dip too. Bring your friends because (e:brit) and I don't have any of our own.
I think (e:brit)'s birthday really is tomorrow but I could be wrong.

My real birth date is the 12th. I think you're right (e:matthew), (e:brit)'s birthday is the 7th, she is five days older than I am. Hopefully she will come and visit often. She would always be welcome on my futon!

Squaw Island drowningThis story is so sad. I see the kids playing in this water all the time. I never imagined that this would happen in this pond because the water seems so calm.
Here are some pics of kids playing in the pond last year.
Buffalo teen drowns on Squaw Island
May 31, 2010, 6:57 pm / 2 comments
A 16-year-old Buffalo boy drowned this afternoon while swimming in a pond on Squaw Island, Buffalo police reported.
The teen, whose identity wasn't released, was swimming in a freshwater pond on the island with a few friends between 3 and 3:30 p.m. when he began to struggle and went under, said Michael J. DeGeorge, a Buffalo Police spokesman.
The friends went to call for help, and the Buffalo Police Underwater Recovery Team soon arrived on the island, located at the foot of West Ferry Street in the Niagara River.
Police divers were able to find the boy and he was taken to Women and Children's Hospital, where he died, DeGeorge said.
The drowning remains under investigation, and police divers reported that the pond does have a current, DeGeorge added.

Instead of 'no swimming' and patrols, how about 'warning: current. Swim at your own risk'.
Ugh.
I mean it's awful that a kid drowned. But to now say no one is ever allowed to swim again is NOT an appropriate reaction.

Yes, they are swimming there on the Island. The pictures I posted is where the boy died on memorial day. Yesterday family and friends gathered at the spot. You could hear them weeping. I guess he tried to save his friend who was struggling and in the process went under.
People now are asking that no swimming signs be posted and that the island be frequented by patrols. I feel that there aren't really any good options for kids to swim and that there is always a risk. I grew up on Long Island and went to the beach all the time where there is a much deadlier current. People drown there all the time but they don't close it down. Technically it is illegal to swim anywhere there isn't a life guard in Buffalo which I would assume rules out swimming just about everywhere.

Are those people swimming there on that island? I would have never thought about going in the water there and I am pretty open to open water.

thanks for this (e:libertad) ... I was able to pop over this morning and dump off a hatchbackload of outdated stuff that has been taking up space for years.
Man I wish we had ANYTHING like that here!
