Buffalo Garden Walk 2010Category: garden
We went with (e:Holly) and my mom to the garden walk. It was a great day as we started early and missed the rain.
This year we did the west side behind Kleinhans and near (e:metalpeter)'s. The community gardens were really inspirational. As was the massive amount of fruit and vegtable gardens.
One older woman had a giant fig tree. I think my mom was really jealous as it is her favorite fruit. We asked her about it and she said she overwintered by covering it in rugs.

I really like the owl thing. Hope you had a great time. It is tough to know what area to go to, sometimes the houses are amazing to look at also, that is what I found last year I think around the Allen Area.

Liked the cheekiness of putting the frame in front of the flowers. Reminds me of the year my watermain broke wrecking the front garden, leaving us with caution lights and tape blocking off where our garden was. I walked over to the neighbors who were landscaped, borrowed their gardenwalk sign, stuck it in the muck and took the picture.
The gardenwalk folk didn't find that amusing.

road construction gas wasteCategory: linwood
The corner of North and Franklin is under construction. They are removing thr crazy sweeping death trap turns and replacing them with right angles.
I am generally happy with the whole process but they have 2 gas powered arrows on 24/7 for like a week now. I wonder if it will go on the whole summer. It seems expensive, wasteful, and environmentally damaging when reflective tape could do. They even have it on during the daylight hours.

At Gallery 464Category: art
over at 464 Amherst street. The gallery is owner by (e:marcus) who had a journal for a post.
And here, the reason we went, (e:heidi) and her masterpeices.
Here I am with the 3D glasses on. They had paintings that popped out with 3D glasses on.
They had some djs and video screens outside which was pretty fun as well.

Yes you took the picture of Heidi that I meant to take thank you so much.
That robot shirt is awesome where do they sell them? another way of saying it is where can you buy one? I thought about buying the robot with the flame picture
I wanted to stay longer (looks like I just missed you) the outdoor stuff I bet would have been awesome. I love all the 3D stuff, but I think it might be what caused the Headache.
I think my brain is a little messed up when I used the two color glasses I saw one color out of one and and the other color out of the other eye, it isn't supposed to work like that......
You mean Amherest not allen but, it does seem like someplace that would be on allen.............

Removing facebook from your nexus 1Category: android
Since I got my n1 I have wanted to remove the facebook, twitter and amazon mp3 app but as they are stock apps it would not let me. Its so annoying that they were running in the background and possibly using battery but it was even more annoying that when I selected a pic in the gallery app it would always have facebook and twitter in the share menu when I really wanted to just have estrip there. After rooting my phone which is really quite simple on a nexus 1 (you can find instructions by searching on google) you need to do this.
Make sure your phone is recognized with adb by typing adb devices
Then run the following code. It basically mounts the system drive and then you move the apps to a backup file where they are there if you later change your mind, but they will no longer run.
To be fair I totally stole these commands from here
and then added Twitter and amazon mp3 store to it
