Upload Speed InequalityCategory: computers
I don't understand why I can't get decent wired upload speeds in Buffalo. Every month I pay $99 for a FIOS account out in the suburbs because the city has no comparable upload speed service.
I was looking at some FCC data for Buffalo and it seems like the wireless upload speeds are topping wired already. I recognize that this is not a huge sample source but seriously, this is just totally ridiculous.

You shouldn't post all these shiny stats. I have green vision as a result.

Asian food extavaganzaCategory: food
I had delicious sushi for lunch at Fuji grill followed by dinner at PF Chang's. PF Chang's has a whole Gluten free menu for (e:matthew)
I however got my gluten intolletance test results and I am not gluten intollerant just allergic to wheat.
My blood pressure was a perfect 110/70.
Tommorow I take a mercury test. I am so curious with all this hype about the dangers of fish consumption. If I don't have a problem then its all bullshit.

Bye Bye BuildingCategory: buildings
Today they ripped down the building next to the one I work in to build a parking lot. The thing that surprised me is that they didn't strip it at all. They just came in and smashed it to pieces for the garbage. I am so jealous if the guy who smashed it down - it looked really fun.

Do you know what it was? Was it a chapel? I always thought it was rather pretty... and was totally shocked when I saw it razed to the ground. Before they had the sense to start watering the debris down, I completely choked on the demolition dust on Thursday morning. People must have thought I was secretly crying for the building when I entered the lecture hall with my eyes streaming and a runny nose.

Are they recycling the bricks? Apparently, some types of brick have extra value because they are vintage and some builders seek such bricks for their projects.

I feel like it would be fun for the first hour and then you probably would be dizzy from all the spinning. They are going through today and picking out all the metal and probably will separate more for the trash.

It does look like Chris. It is Peter Gallagher, in Dreamchild (1985).
