918 Main st, Buffalo, NY
Category: architecture
Looks like they are finally cleaning up the collapsing building on main street. Its amazing how long it took them to start working on this. I really thought it was going to collapse into the street. I wonder what will become of the building.

this makes it even more scary to walk on that side of the street

I would assume that with the building to left and right it would have to be fixed up cause a lot would be gawd terrible ... One would think with the medical campus in that area they could find some good use for it..

Good to see. It's about time.

Samsung 32Gb class 10 micro ssd - yippie
Category: mobile
I saw a great deal on a 32GB class 10, samsung, micro SD card on new egg in retail packaging. It was around $1/gb which a year ago was unheard of. You can't really buy these things on amazon because there is so many black market scanners so I turned to new egg. Now to back everything up from my old class 4 16gb card.

Altogether the phone has 54gb of space now.

No this is super cheap for a class 10 samsung branded card in retail packaging. They go for about $80 from Samsung direct. Read the reviews of class 6 cards for 14 bucks. I would never trust that. Besides this is a class 10. Right now I would not trust any cheap cards from amazon. The latest scam rage is to take crappy ones, scratch off the label and remarket as brand name.

That does not sound like a discounted price - its probably the real price, given how the same capacity class 6 is going for $14.

god don't fucking care
Category: apple
I was testing out the new mac dictation feature on mountain lion. I said, "and then I thought, milk came from cows so I drank orange juice."

The dictation software on the mac wrote

...god don't fucking care...



First of all I think it is trying to tell me something, but seriously, I didn't say fucking. I would have totally thought they censored that. What if a child was using it.

Now I am trying it again. I said, "I am going to try one more time to write a sentence." and it wrote, "Okay so I'm going to try to run my time and read." Its definitely not as good as the dragon naturally speaking one. That or the mic sucks on my new macbook air.

Don't say I didn't warn you about singularity... Although you are probably the go to source on it.
metalpeter - 08/02/12 16:41
Ok so maybe I don't get Tech Stuff I admit.. I know in the old days there was some way that you had set things to say and then it learned your voice pattern as per how it sounds vs the data it has.. But it is funny everything I hear about with mac (ok only 2 things) is kinda messed up ..Oh cause they have Names like mountain lion..I think they are to busy trying to be trendy and cool. Mac Dictation 1 now then go make it work..HA... Hope you get it to work....

Chick Fil-a
Category: gay
The thing that really pisses me off, regardless of the fact that I am going to get gay married, is that the 630,000 haters decide to defend christ by supporting a fast food joint and buying sandwiches. To me this just proves they can be manipulated to do anything. I can just imagine this in the board room and stock holder meeting. "Did you see, he lines Jimmy, its raining sheep."

metalpeter - 08/02/12 16:36
Well this is a place that I don't know if you have to be closed on Sunday to get a franchise but is closed so people can go to church so it seems to me that many people who go there it is more then about the food so... I think what really got those people there was people like mayors saying oh we won't let them open because of the owners views... Then some groups said we are going to do kiss ins... To me this is a sign of how radical and divided this country is.. It is the owners opinion big deal. Yes he gives money to anti gay stuff... But I'm sure that every chain gives money to causes that if it where public some people wouldn't like. Are this people sheep yeah they are cause they listen to that book instead of thinking for them selves... But also though There is freedom of speech and I do think people trying to infringe on it helped push those numbers up...?

Zooey
Category: zooey
We babysat zooey on Friday while her parents moved to a new house. Had such a great evening. We went to a fashion show where (e:flacidness) was modeling and danced, ate cake and pizza, and played with the tortoise. She fell asleep in my arms at the show.

On the way home she asked if she could stay with us forever ;). I told her that her parents would miss her and she responded. "How about you move in with my parents". I guess I have a new generation of ho family admirers, haha.
