It could help with the demolitions too
June 30, 2007 at 8:16 am by DerekPoor Dave Franczyk is having some troubles this week, due to his flippant use of the term “ethnic cleansing” in regards to the Catholic church consolidating parishes on the east side. Since music soothes, I thought I’d send him this virtual present.

Aquarama headed for the scrap heap?
June 27, 2007 at 10:22 pm by DerekI haven’t reported anything on our rusty old buddy, the Aquarama, recently. Frankly, I haven’t thought much about it. Until today. I got an email inquiry asking if I knew anything about it being sold to an Indian scrap metal salvage company. I hadn’t, but a little googling turned up an [...]
Next checkbox down
June 27, 2007 at 10:10 pm by DerekThe radio this morning nailed it home. They were reporting on some survey of “young adults” and the upcoming election cycle. “The majority of 18-29 year olds feel they will have a significant impact on the next election.” That’s when I realized that as of yesterday, I was no longer part of [...]

Friday came and things were looking up. Other than some caulking and finishing work, we were slated to finish the installation up. First step was, as always, shutting the water off and removing the sink from it’s temporary perch. Since the sink still wasn’t sitting quite right [...]
Know when to run
June 14, 2007 at 7:09 am by DerekContinued from “Know when to walk away“
Knowing that there were a few more items we needed to procure for the rest of the project, my father-in-law and I hopped in the car and headed over to Home Depot ourselves. Since we were already there, we figured that we’d spend a few more minutes looking [...]
Know when to walk away
June 9, 2007 at 9:41 am by DerekSome times, those DIY homeowner projects just don’t work out the way you plan. Who am I kidding, they NEVER work out the way you plan! In this particular case, though, even with the best intentions and days of planning and work, the project went completely belly up.

Buffalo blogging changes
June 9, 2007 at 8:52 am by DerekWell, WNYMedia.net is finally back. It’s good to have all those people back contributing to the Buffalo blogosphere. I do have one issue, though. What’s up with the depressing black theme? It reminds me a bit of the old Central Terminal site, who’s black & grey non-color scheme was often referred [...]
