Can you sue a road?
ByDerek
BuffaloPundit today takes on the issue of people suing to stop the Southtowns Connector. I laugh at the standard comments, such as “By the way I think it is quite quaint that you think the residents of Hamburg and Lackawanna should have any say in what Buffalo would like to do with its water front.”…

Anything’s Possible

My luck won’t quit today. Ari wanted carrots for a ‘healthy’ snack, so I went into the fridge and saw that they were all rotting in the bag. So I took them out and decided to steam the good parts for Cambree’s first veggies, so they wouldn’t go to waste. Got them into the pan…

A project 3.3 years in the making

So, this is the weekend where I finally get to upgrade our internal Lotus QuickPlace environment (a system which I’m responsible for) to the semi-current 6.5.x release. We’re still running the ancient 2.0.8 version, which has been out of support for eons already. I wrote my original plan to upgrade this system to version 3…

Hamburg partisanship must end
ByDerek
Thursday night I was in bed, flipping through The Sun. I was astonished to see five pages of letters to the editor, most of which centered around the ongoing partisan problems in the Town of Hamburg. I was surprised to find a lengthy letter from Town Supervisor Steven Walters responding directly to all the criticism.

No stang you

Ugh. I’m sorry, but they’re bringing Knight Rider back and they made KITT into a ricer Mustang? Ok, Hollywood. Rule #1 of TV shows where the main character was a car – if you really feel the need to do a reunion, you can’t change the main character! Although, maybe since Will Arnett is now…
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.
