This is why I am glad I don't write on paper a lot
Category: web
Sometimes, I can't even figure it out myself afterwards.

Google video chat and web calls
Category: web
This is why I sided with google instead of apple. I just logged into my gmail on linux and was able to dial all the numbers I have in my address book on my phone and talk to them online free on my computer. It also has the entire history of all the calls from my phone. Plus I think this is the first time I have seen really good video chat on linux to mac. I guess skype also works but I don't have skype and they ripped me off on credits twice while this is just built into my gmail and fully integrates with my phone.

Here I am talking with myself between mac and linux.

Talk to the hand?


PS: I am thrilled with the google chat phone version and their video quality is awesome but the network gets super busy during weekends.

That looks pretty good.
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.
tinypliny - 08/27/10 16:49

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??
