Why I stayed in Buffalo
ByDerekBuffaloGeek posts today on a New York Magazine article about why people might leave New York City and move to Buffalo. He then asked: Over the next couple of days, I’d like to discuss our collective reasons for staying, our reasons for leaving, and ask you to help me define the “Buffalo Experience” and tell…

Of Mice and Men
ByDerekMy ongoing saga of mice in the attic continues. After removing #6 and #7, I decided to pick up two more traps since this one at a time seemed to be taking too long. This morning I removed #8, #9, and #10. It doesn’t seem to matter how many you remove, there’s always another one…

QuickPlace upgrade, hour 39
ByDerekWow, some of these tasks take forever to run. Our server has somewhere around 260 places and 18 gigs of data. It took three hours to run “upgrade -server” and 9.5 hours to run “upgrade -a”. I’m on to “register -install -a” now, but like most of the process I start a task running, leave,…

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
