mike - 08/27/10 18:08
those were tasty bruschetta and that is balsamic not chocolate as we also weren't sure when we got it.

I'd vote for Sam Hoyt
Category: politics
But unfortunately its not my district. We have no choice really because I'm sure Antoine will win again the primary and I refuse to affiliate with the party so I can't vote. It so weird that the primary becomes the actual election.

The boundaries are odd. They roughly go down main street but it shifts over and back a bit through Allentown to the 190. Sam also gets Grand Island for some reason. Assemblymember Crystal Peoples is pretty good though so....

Antoine on the other hand... oh my lordy. That man has had a full year of bad press. It is just to bad his opponent is the only other man in WNY as incompetent.
mike - 08/27/10 18:07
he does represent buffalo, like the elmwood strip area and west side and also grand island maybe? but does not represent the part over by Linwood. Not sure exactly where the boundaries are.
tinypliny - 08/27/10 16:51
So why is that ad on (E:strip)? I thought Sam Hoyt was a representative of Buffalo - is he not??

Strange midnight meals
Category: food
I stayed late at work to complete a component for my new system. When I got home there was nothing much to eat so I tried to make something. I am of the opinion anything can be made tasty with with the additional of blueberries.

I am working crazy hours and for little pay. So my meals are all midnight meals. Yesterday I threw some broccoli, frozen peas, and two eggs into the microwave until they were obliterated. Tonight I ate a can of cactus because it was on sale for 50c a can. I later discovered it had about 10 calories in the whole can.
tinypliny - 08/27/10 16:50
Or is it cheese that makes things better....

Its like trying to sell a computer windows 95
Category: mobile
Why on earth is dell coming out with no phones on old operating systems? Seriously, someone should get fired over this as just about everyone is losing any hopes of Dell's mobile strategy. While android was a Savior for Motorola it seems like not being able to keep up is going to kill Dell.

How is Google even letting this happen. I would refuse to license to companies that can't keep up as they ate going to affect the android reputation as much as their own, for consumers that can't understand the outdatedness of their mobile OS.

The wrong Android isn't any good Its hard to feel sorry for Dell. The Aero runs Android 1.5, while its tablet, the Streak, runs Android 1.6. How Dell expects to be successful with devices that are running outdated software is anyones guess. Currently, there are several devices available that run Android 2.2. The rest are almost all running Android 2.1. By offering a smartphone with Android 1.5 and a tablet with Android 1.6, its becoming clearer by the minute that Dell just doesn't know what its doing.

That is just ridiculous.
