I remember people would ask my if I had a MySpace page and I would tell them no, I had a webpage at my own domain. Blank stares. "You should join MySpace."
Meh.

I put relatively little of myself in the FB profile, but joining was a disturbing experience. I discovered that, thanks to friends and family, there were already scores of pictures of me out on the intarweb for consumption that I knew nothing about. I can at least now somewhat control what goes out, or at least influence it.

Exactly. They've basically got your profile built already, based on the people who sent you "join fb" invites over email, and tagged you in their photos.
Since I was very late to the game, I was quite disturbed with how much it already knew about me.

If I had that kind of time to kill, I would go outside and tend to an

actual garden. We have one, but nothing seems to grow too well. It's

mainly because we have a lot of big trees so there isn't enough
sunlight.

they have plants for a "shade garden" ... plants that do well in the shade, w/o direct sunlight.

Freshmen just don't know how to hold their liquor.

 

 

I'm stealing that pic and sending it to my niece in Duluth.

so the social networking room isn't appearing on my room list. Did the DAP get it?...

anyway, being one of those rare people who liked high school, despitee being fairly geeky, I posted a handful of pics from highschool, including one which showed a teacher who has since passed away. She was also the mother of someone in my circle of friends. The response has been great. People have been posting their memories of her and just saying that they miss her, and her daughter just posted "I keep forgetting you guys had her...your comments make me smile... thanks."

It's not much, but giving a daughter a couple extra memories of her mom - seems like Facebook's good for something.

I needed to get the kids out of the house yesterday, so we packed up the video camera and IGlet's favorite teddy bear, and went railfanning at a couple of nearby grade crossings.

Later in the day I *finally* taught myself how to edit video on a computer.

May I present to you... "Big Butt Bear's Train Adventure"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG_3KjxM3Us

By the way, you can (and should) subscribe to see Big Butt Bear's other videos.
You also can (and should) follow him at http://twitter.com/BigButtBear -- and you also can (and should) "become a fan" of Big Butt Bear on that other site.

I always thought of Aahz as our very own "Sheldon" but now I see I was wrong.

 

Next time, can you find some of those big ass freighters they put on your railroads?

The line we railfanned on is strictly a commuter railroad. There is a freight line within driving distance but I don't know how to find the schedule or even if there is one published.

I'm more of a road freight girl amyway, goods seem to move by road here, we just don't have those big trains like you do. There is a railroad not far from where I live, and on a still day I hear the trains, mostly passenger, but there is the occasional freighter.

It'd be cool if BBB did get some footage, but don't make a special trip just for me ;)

If I know Big Butt Bear and I do - it would be his pleasure to make a trip out to catch some freight car footage for a fellow train spotter.

For BBB and IGlet - that would be an awesome day out!

I heard that there are a lot of freight trains in Rockland, but I don't know how to get my hands on a schedule, or even if there is one. Anyone got ideas?

Conrail is your local company, the link will take you to thier corporate site, you may be able to get info from them ;)

No more cookies. Instead of cookies, web sites will now begin issuing little pieces of Baklava.
