It’s started. I put down my first Binder on my own home. I found a co-op in Westbury that I like and have started the negotiations. Granted, there is one binder ahead of mine (that I know of) but if that falls through, I’m next in line and it would be really cool to have my own place. I was actually a bit shaky about it at first, but the more I think about it, the more psyched I get about it. The greatest part is that I’m buying it out. Not just dumping money into an apartment leaving me with less than I started with when I decide to leave or move up.

If you remember the days back when Apple IIgs was hot shit, then you’ll be able to appreciate the Virtual Apple. This site has an active Apple II emulator with all the roms that I can remember from Middle-school. Check it out at www.VirtualApple.com.

Also, This weekend was a blast. The renaissance faire was a lot of fun. I wanted to go dressed in medieval clothing, however after looking for a good 2 to 3 hours for my shirt, I found out that my mother tossed it. I don’t mind her tossing my clothes, especially if it had gotten stained and skanky and couldn’t be cleaned properly, but it would have been nice to tell me so I could plan ahead or get another one!! Anyways, I did get another one which I think is actually a bit nicer. I’m also going to order a brown vest to wear over the shirt (which is green)

Pictures I took at the faire can be seen here.

I think just fell asleep on the phone with me. lol

Very dissapointed that the Cyclone wasn’t open today, but I did get to hang out at the New York Aquarium at Coney Island today. I headed out there this morning with Matt and his Fiance Jane, both up from Florida for the week.

Got lots of pics of the Seals, Walruses, Jellyfish, Penguins, Turtles, etc… Was fun, though there wasn’t any hands-on activities. While the animals were cute, it would have been nice to have the petting tank open and maybe made it to the shows 🙂 Our bad…

Otherwise it was interesting and fun….

Met up with Jen and Charlie for dinner at Croxley’s Ales. My fav bar on the Island with 79 beers on tap, I make it a point to try a new one every time I’m there. I had a “Rogue Dead Guy” tonight. Not bad… Funny coming from me, one who never drank beer before.

We headed to Donuts and went on an impromptu Geocache to give Matt another cache under his belt, and give Jane an into to the sport… We headed to Charlie’s cache located near Donuts, but C had the wrong coordinates in his GPS. The funny part is they brought us to a point that looked JUST LIKE the actual cache location. For a few minutes there we thought that the location was actually demolished. A quick call to got us the correct coordinates and Matt and Jane were able to find the cache rather quickly.

I started playing with Skype… A free VOIP service that works like an Instant Messaging program. Check this out:

Have you ever come across the profile of a gorgeous blonde. She seems cool. Her profile shows that she’s from NY, and enrolled as a film student at NYU. Her Profile sounds fun, and she’s incredilbly hot so you muster up the will to IM her and try to woo her with your charm… You talk for a while and things heat up a bit. You try to swap emails, but for some reason, she can’t get your emails and you can’t get hers…. Eventually, you realize that she’s a freak, though claiming she’s a woman, she begins to come on to you offering you her manhood.

Why is all this?

Skype Pranker v0.31 [Website]

You have unknowingly been talking with some other guy with the same viewpoint as you. Words in your conversation have been changed. Any time you said “Male”, “Guy”, or “Man” the guy you were chatting saw “Female”, “Girl” and “Woman”. Your email address has been altered so instead of seeing your email, the man at the other end saw a pre-determined email address that doesn’t actually exist. It’s the same email address that you saw when he (she?) gave you his (hers!).

Skype Pranker connects two chatters together, both assuming they’re chatting with the person who’s profile you set up. To make it better, Skype Pranker can be set up to replace words… When someone says “I’m a guy” the other person sees “I’m a girl”. It can even replace all email addresses with one that I want instead. And the best part is the program runs automatically! You just run it and sit back and watch…

I’ll post a few logs once I get a bunch… (The first 2 guys are still going at it after 15 mins trying to contact eachother on MSN or through email. lol)
