Part 4?Category: photos
So somehow I published the last journal maybe by chatting I'm not sure so those pictures above where from Sunday. I'm going to add a few from Sat. We shall see how far I get. I don't want to do to many since I can't remember where I left off on sat's photos. This is a perfect example about how once I figure out what I want in a computer I need to get one, I think the tougher choice is what to do about internet
There sure was a pretty good rain that day
Not sure where I left off so that is my time!!!!!!!!!!!!

each year that I've gone on the walk that place has some kind of art out front and then some theme in the back yard, one year I think it was like badminton rackets, I don't know if they do that all summer? I assume just for the walk but who knows

JackassCategory: movies
If this was done right it could be the greatest 3D movie ever, or it might just be a little bit funnny
At Least it has a good AD.
I will admit that I didn't really watch Jackass untill I saw the movies. I did watch Viva La Bam though. I'm not about like nut shots. I more like the funny stuff and stunts where like he fills the house with snow and goes down steps. Some of the gross out stuff is gross and some of it is funny. In terms of how 3D it is we shall see. That Last bit reminds me of a funny bit from one of the other movies

Some of the stunts are great some of them are funny, it is tough to know untill you see it, I'm not even sure when this opens.................

Ways to improve FacebookCategory: internet
So I know it may seem kinda silly to write about ways to improve Facebook, and it kinda is, but this is what I feel like writting about.
1. There needs to be a dislike option. I get that with like and dislike you would need a term to take the like off of something but that could be unlike and for dislike it could be nuetral. I get that they maybe don't want there to be bashings but the fact is that, political stuff and news stories have really taken over and it isn't right that you can't go I disagree or dislike something cause it is bad news, like a break up or something......
2. Facebook is really great at friends. They have this matrix where you can see what is the most popular and the posts are all over the place time wise. What they need is like some other sites is a way that shows who has looked at your wall posts, pictures indivual, and albums. This would include friends and non friends. Here is a perfect example of why. I went to an event at club diablo and friend requested one of the ladies in one of the bands (polly punkneck). So when I go on her page I saw a few pictures of her that where tagged so I checked out the album. There where a lot of great pictures of club diablo. Well if you aren't friends you can't say anything about anyones pictures, but they also don't know if anyone has looked at them. This would be true of the zombie walk pictures I have. I have no idea if anyone looked at them. Often times you might like someones pictures but that isn't enough to be friends over one event picture set.................
3. Facebook needs to use pop ups as new pages. This would make it so much easier to keep caught up. Say you are scrolling through what people have posted then you see a note or pictures you want to see, well when you click on it it takes you off that page and then when you are done you have to scroll back. Hey if you have hit older posts for the 2nd or 3rd time do you really want to scroll through all that stuff again....
4. More langauges. Yes Pirate is fun but they need more. How about Yoda. You could even have accents from all over the country........
Well those are the ones that come to my mind quickly

That is a good point. Maybe the dislike could be reserved for friends only. So if you wanted to say Taco Bell sucks you would have to like them first and see all there postings. I mainly mean for status reports.... That being said I like that you can like comments add a dislike to that as well........ For some time firefox had a way that you could dislike stuff, but I think it really was only see able for others using firefox (maybe only the user who did it) and you wheren't told when someone disliked you (firefox not my space thing)...... But I can't even get firefox to work. I don't see facebook ever doing dislike though....

Dislike button would be great for us, but not Facebook. What advertiser wants people to be able to post a big fat DISLIKE on there for them? And it's all about the $$$

I am in the process of adding more pictures. One thing I just found out is that if you are writing a post and put something into chat it publishes your post. Glad you like the pictures....
In terms of a computer I do want a nice DVD drive and CD writter as well, but not sure what direction I want to go in.......
Nice pictures. :^) I have really enjoyed your garden walk series this year, especially since I didn't go out to see the gardens. If you are okay with fairly good connectivity for ~ $23-$25 a month, verizon dsl could be your choice. But 2-3 days in a month, it will give you ulcer-inducing grief and disconnect you exactly when you need it. TWC is a greedy little organization that specializes in arbitrary rates and unfriendliness over phone - especially in the Buffalo area. I have spoken to their reps in NYC and there they seemed to be super-friendly. The basic package from TWC is Road Runner Lite - on par with the Verizon dsl but I don't really know how to wheedle this out of them because they keep trying to push TV-Phone-Net bundles on me - when I don't need any of the other two.
As for a computer, you can get a really good one with plenty of storage (without the optical DVD drive) for around $200 if you watch out for sales. If you want a CD/DVD drive, then the lowest configurations of small laptops start at around $250. Newegg and Amazon and a number of brick and mortar stores such as Best Buy regularly have steep sales on these.
