04.27.2007 | New Flickr Feature!
Flickr has added a little tidbit under it’s multi-lingual greeting to tell you what language you’re reading. I love it. It’s small, simple, and doesn’t detract from anything. Not to mention, I usually wonder what language some of the greetings are in. Well done, Flickr. 
04.24.2007 | Yahoo! Earth Day
So one of my Flickr photos (well, not MINE actually, but a photo I edited for the Fix My Pic group) has been getting a ton of views - over 2,000 already. That isn’t really a lot for some Flickr users, but I’ve never had a photo go over 200. I’ve been trying to figure out why, and I finally stumbled upon the reason. Turns out that it was featured as part of a pool of photos for Yahoo!’s Earth Day site. The photos are on a randomizer, so you just have to keep refreshing, but it’s there! Not exactly the photographer of the year award (ha!) but still pretty cool!
Check out the photo (and the rest of my stream)!
04.22.2007 | Spring is Here! Finally!
At least it was this weekend. It’s supposed to dip down into the 40’s and 30’s again this week, but hey, I got to bask in the sunshine enough this weekend to hold me over for a little while!
It’s been quite the eventful past few days. The Entrepreneurship@Cornell Celebration was Thursday & Friday. Needless to say I was there working all day. I completely forgot about class on Friday. Completely. I thought it was Saturday. Oops. Luckily I didn’t have anything due. The Celebration was a lot of fun, especially since I had someone my own age (well..close enough) there this year. I love being able to observe business people doing their thing - you can really learn a lot!
Yesterday was absoltely gorgeous. I woke up early-ish to go to the Ithaca Farmer’s Market with Jess. That place is great for people-watching! Not to mention the delicious, fresh, and hand made goods After we’d exhausted the Farmer’s Market we decided it was far too nice to go back to school. A few u-turns later and we were on our way to Taughannock State Park. It was a beautiful walk (.75 miles each way) to the Falls. The drive there was really nice too, although on a day like yesterday, I doubt there is anything that wouldn’t be enjoyable :). After the Falls we decided to head home because we were dying of thirst and had stuff to do later in the evening. 
Fast forward a few hours and I had to go to Dreaming of China, an event put on by 2 of the Chinese Dance Troupes on campus. I’d told my friend Cathy I would shoot some photos for her. 375+ shots, 2 error messages, and 2 hours later I was back in my room uploading the over 700 photos I took over the course of the day. I ended up getting a bunch of really great shots, which I was especially proud of because I’ve finally sword off using the automatic settings on the camera. No more green square for me. I shoot in “M” now :). I can’t really remember what I did for the rest of the night? I may have watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding with Margot and Shannon, but I think that was Friday?
Today was even NICER than yesterday if you can believe it (I’m still having a hard time). I went to brunch with Jess (a different once). When I opened the door to leave the building I was expecting to instantaneously freeze like I’ve done every day for the past ~6 months, but turns out it was PERFECT out! Not even a breeze to give me the slightest chill. So nice. So brunch was fun, then I came in to start processing all of these photos I took of Dreaming of China. 
Margot popped her head in my window to see if I wanted to study outside. Umm..yeah! I changed out of my crappy clothes and into something that wouldn’t give me a farmer’s tan. I didn’t really have any work to do (SHOCKING!) but I just wanted to go outside. About an hour into our homework/reading, we decided smoothies would be perfect. Unfortunately, all of the places that make smoothies/juice drinks were closed/didn’t deliver. Lucky for us my car is down here. We hopped in and went down to the Commons for Smoothie Hut. I don’t think anything could have been more perfect at that point. Back up to campus and back to our towels in the grass.
After dinner I finally uploaded a bunch of my photos and that’s where I am now.
2 weeks of classes to go. That’s 9 days of classes if you don’t count Slope Day. That’s FIVE more Linear Algebra classes. JUST FIVE! The end is in sight…finally…
Well, I think this is getting too long for anyone’s own good. Suffice it to say that this weekend was probably one of the best I’ve had in a REALLY long time. It was so nice to just be able to relax and enjoy without having to worry about 16 layers of clothes and 4 projects due the next week.
Here are some of those 700 photos I was talking about: Flickr
04.16.2007 | I Love Winter, But This Is Ridiculous!
It’s practically a blizzard outside! Actually, I take it back, it IS a blizzard outside. Check out my Flickr throughout the day for updates School isn’t cancelled this time. Not yet at least.

04.14.2007 | A Slow News Day
Looks like nothing major is going on in the world lately, you know, with the war in Iraq, Anna Nicole’s baby finally getting a father, and the insane storm that’s supposed to hit tomorrow. CNN must be getting sick of reporting the same old stuff, because they approached this bird thing as if a national hero died or something! At least he can say he died for his country. Check out the caption under Cheney’s picture. It’s my favorite part.
