Faster and harder
Category: work
My second 12-14 hour work day in a row. Trying to get some stuff done quick but not as fast as my running time. Tonight I made it home in 2:47 seconds moving time. I ran so fast I almost felt like I was going to suffocate at the end.

For fun I added these two pics of twin cars. Randomly, they were both by the house at the same time.

Running Home at Midnight
Category: work
I hate it when I work real late and run home because I am afraid of muggings.

If you take the shortcut through the salvation army parking lot, it might shave a few seconds off your run. It takes me 7 mins from my door to the door of my office at a fast walk.

Is that with your laptop on your back?

Wow it took me less than 4 minutes. My goal is to get it down to 2.

North St Construction
Category: buffalo
Its going to look so good when its done and had regular corners. (e:matthew) said the corners were rounded when main street was closed due to the dubway construction and Linwood became a major thoroughfare out if the city. I guess that is also why it is one way. I hope they switch that back too.

I am not sure I really understand where all of it is really going and I really hope they finish before the snow hits.

Location services for your blog
Category: location
Now you can upload kml files, which are files that track data on a map. Say the path of a walk, hike, run, drive, etc. A bunch of coordinates, etc.

Anyone can upload kml now using any of the normal estrip publishers but the estrip android app has a special tie in with google My Tracks app. You can get instructions here You will need the 1.14+ version of the estrip app to do this.

Here I took a small run down linwood to test it and see how long it would take me. You can see I got lazy but the end and shortcutted.

The superflea on walden
Category: shopping
We went to the superflee to get more 72" records. Last time they had a million but we only bought a few because we didn't have the grammophone yet.

When we came back they were all home and (e:matthew) asked what happend to them. Apparently they didn't sell so the salesguy glued them to the wall as decoration. Too bad we didn't come back before.

I also bought a screwdriver from this store where everything was painted red. The saleslady told me the Guy they bought all the stuff from was paranoid about people stealing his stuff so he painted it all red. Sometimes he went a little too far. Check out the knife with half the blade painted.

It doesn't matter if it is fresh pressed organic flax seed oil if it expired in 2005. They tried to scratch off the expiration date, which is even more ridiculous.
