Tron in 3d imaxCategory: movies
I went to go see tron at imax last night with (e:hoedown). She almost got in a fight with some other girl over seats. I tried to take a pic of me with the glasses and this is what came out. Sitting in the front row sucks.

eh? that makes it even more confusing. They won't let you into the imax unless you have a specific number in your group? Why? Is the whole IMAX a bunch of balcony-seats or some such concept??

Well like with all movies (i assume) some people like to be close and some like to be far and some in the middle, I'm guessing this was more about numbers and how many a group needed....................

I've had it with the dirty salty snowy landscape already. My boots look like I wade through the dead sea everyday.

1. Snow fall varied with this couple of storms so much all over the area
2. Yes the City did get a lot less then even out by where I work near the Thruway mall plaza thing
Those two things taken into consideration When ever they pile snow like that it looks much higher and it is tough to judge how much snow they really got.....

Blue Fin On Elmwood on the StripCategory: food
The food there is freaking amazing. I am not sure why its not more busy when I go in because it's some of the best Asian food around and the prices are great. This mango chicken that (e:enknot) got was so good. I also had delicious veggie lo mein with a side of mackerel sashini that was presented very nicely.
If you haven't been there you need to check it out.

Nexus S is a more picturesque take on Nexus one but apparently nothing big is new - except that I will owe my hand-me-down to its release. ;-)

That's so exciting. I love the nexus one. It is such a nice device. You need a data plan.

He doesn't hate me apparently... which is good news. I suspect (e:paul) had something to do with it. :)
BTW, I REALLLY love that shot of the noodles. Every time I look at it, I want to walk towards that restaurant. Thankfully, I am lazy person and don't make it out of my front door.
AND I am getting the hand-me-down nexus soon - the only thing I can think of is... FOOD GRADE CAMERA!

Why Does He Hate (e:tinypliny)?
Guessing it is still Open
Guessing that when you look at it, it looks small and it is hard to tell if it is open it never looks open so maybe that is why so few people?

Why I Hate Macs for RealCategory: computers
After a 12 hour workday I came home to Terry's broken inaccurate with flashing system folder. When booting off an external mac in target disk mode the drive still doesn't show up even in diskutil, fdisk or parted.
Then to get the drive out and replace it requires special suction cups and crap. Just check out this how to
Look you need a suction cup for one of the steps. Seriously.
He is going to try and take it to the apple store and see how much it costs to fix out of warranty.

My brother has has innumerable macs (by now, I have lost count..) and in one of our crazy we-are-so-bored moments we calculated how many of his macs had a failed harddrive or optical drive. Guess what the % was. Take a wild guess...
..
..
86%. I am not even kidding. I can't believe people still keep on trusting macs. I don't want to be this nasty windoze freak but sometimes macsters are ridiculous in their fan worship..
PS: This does not mean I am calling you a fangirl (e:Oda). :-) Please do post a link to your website/CSA. I hope you have a distribution hub in the city so I can buy your produce!!! I am really excited for you. I actually remember my first year with my new computer back in the day. There was no one to take me through anything because my brother was away and my parents were just not interested. It was just awesome to be able to learn and do everything on my own. :)

Wow that is awesome oda. I never thought I would see a time when you were excited about a computer!
The situation with (e:Terry)'s imac got so ridiculous. He brought it to the apple store and the drive happend to load. They blamed the problem on a VPN client from when he was at UB. That was such bullshit. As soon as he brought it home and turned it on, the drive started clicking and stuff and finally died.

paul, i got a mac for a present this year.
you will be proud to know that i am actually learning how to use a computer. i have found the mac to incredible for someone like me, at a low computer-level knowledge, to be able to answer my own computer questions. this thing is so self-explanitory.
also, i am taking these one-to-one classes at the mac store in the galleria mall. soon, i will make the website for our farm/CSA.
it is exciting to start to explore this computer world.

I love how your spell-check or auto-complete turned "imac" into "inaccurate" The Apple Inaccurate it's not just a slogan, it's a way of life.

Why do you hate Macs for fake then?

That's interesting... Did anyone else eat with you? You should post it on Yelp or other restaurant review pages or here, prominently so that people at the Red Lobster, Transit Road, Buffalo, NY see this complaint and put stricter hygiene checks in place.
Wait I was really sick too. For sure it was the food. I was barfing yesterday. I thought I had the flu.
Ya ever since the first time when I got super food poisoned in Africa in 1999 I find that I am more easily food poisoned. Plus the whole chron's thing. Its probably all related.
Its notoriously difficult to point fingers at the source of food poisoning unless those who ate with you also became sick. Did they?
Traditionally, epidemiology has been about finding the sources of infectious diseases. While it started out simply enough with John Snow pinpointing the water pumps in London as the source of a cholera epidemic in 1854, today we know that individual genetic, immune, metabolic and biochemical differences can actually determine who gets sick and who doesn't. Makes it all the more difficult to find the sources of contamination because there is no classic everyone-got-sick scenario sometimes.
