Apple Store Meltdown in Buffalo, NY
Category: computers
I hate apple so much right now. Our stupid Mac mini computer just stopped working so (e:terry) made an appt. It must be the power supply seeing it does nothing when plugged in. Once we got there the apple store was having a meltdown. The lights were going crazy and the employees circled around like pioneers on a wagon train being attacked by angry Indians.

So a broken apple computer and a broken apple store, argh. I can't believe their stupid system accepted an appointment when it was down. And seriously a company like crapple can't afford a cellular backup network solution. If they can't even keep their stores running who is going to trust them as a network based cloud solution.

I'm thinking it might finally be time to get a new computer. Would you not recommend a mini? I want to use it the same way you guys do and hook it up to the tee-vee.

As they say on CNBC, Apple isn't a computer company it's a Luxury Brand.

I think maybe it was alerting them the systems were down.

An alienship landed on top of the Apple store today. Didn't you know?

PS: All those lights are so strange! Are they controlled by some network settings?!!

Hiking At Niagara Gorge
Category: hiking
Before the concert (e:terry), (e:tinypliny) and I went hiking at the gorge. We had two hours before the conceryt so it was really a quick run down, across and back up.

I think tiny might have been slightly terrified of the climbing over fallen rocks part. At the bottom we had a nice snack if organic treats.

There was a boyscout troop doing the same thing. I couldn't believe how many of them were fat and having trouble. There were barely any fat scouts when I was a kid. I don't mean stocky either I mean straight up fatties.

The water was higher than I ever remember it which makes be think canoeing at somewhere like zoar valley would be awesome.

I have done a few trails in my past but was never good at it... I think I'm ok until I fall to my death going up.... Going down can be bit scary for some reason.... glad you had a good time and good time taking pictures as well....
tinypliny - 05/29/11 10:38
(psst (e:metalpeter): If I could do it, anyone could!! :))
tinypliny - 05/29/11 10:37
Yeah, that was my phone. I was doing a (e:metalpeter)-azzi type of photo-documenting while (e:Paul) and (e:Terry) were traveling upside down. The real story of what happened is at tinypliny,54377. ;-)
metalpeter - 05/29/11 09:21
Wow I have trouble making it out to see burlesque and you guys go hiking and to a concert I noticed (e:tinypliny) does she have something in her hand.... I wish I had the balance and climbing ability to do that kind of stuff.... Thought I was going to die avoiding the nail on the way up to and back down from the roof let alone rocks and on even ground

hahah - I love that pic of (e:mike). :) Did NKOTB autograph that towel in the end??
metalpeter - 05/29/11 09:13
That to me is so odd seeing as Donnie Wahlberg to me is this actor from this pretty good cop show I thought that got cut after like 2 seasons....
libertad - 05/28/11 19:52
Is mike really wearing that beach towel to the concert? on the train too?

Category: estrip
There are four new estrip styles. I will make more when I have some time. You can select them from the front page. My favorite one is called plant. It makes me think its really summer despite the weather.
