Chris Lee Fundraiser BBQ in Greece

Yesterday afternoon I attended the Chris Lee BBQ at the Greece Canal Park. In a toasty Millennium Lodge, Lee's supporters gathered to get their opportunity to talk to the candidate about the race and issues facing the district. Joining him was his wife Michelle and their young son.

Also on hand were the Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, State Senator Joe Robach, Monroe County GOP Chairman and State Assemblyman Hon. William D. Reilich, Town of Greece Supervisor Jack Auberger, Monroe County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo, Monroe County Court Judge Hon. Elma E. Bellin and others.

After introductions by Auberger and Relich, Lee addressed his supporters on topics ranging from the economy to the Democrats vying to be his opponent in November.

The crowd seemed energized with the news of The Rothenberg Political Report's adjustment of its assessment of NY's 26th Congressional District Race to "Toss-Up/Tilt Republican." A change Rothenberg characterizes as a "move benefiting Republicans."

How 2 iPhone Picture Messaging How-To (Repost) | iPhone Guru

A site called iPhone Guru had the following instructions.

Link: iPhone Picture Messaging How-To (Repost) | iPhone Guru.

I am going to try to explain how you *CAN* send MMS picture messages with iPhone. Simply select the photo you want to send in your iPhone's camera roll and address it to your recipient's 10 digit wireless number followed by the MMS server for their wireless provider. Example: Send the photo via email to 1234567890@mmsserveraddressgoeshere.com.

For example, if your intended recipient is a Verizon Wireless customer you would email the pictures to 8885551212@vzwpix.com. This is the email address for your recipient's Verizon Wireless phone. An easy way to obtain all of the email addresses for your friends' and family member's phones is to setup your email on your iPhone and have your friends and family send you a picture message first - not to your wireless number - but to the email address you've already configured on your iPhone. When you get their email, you'll notice that it is sent from the email address for THEIR phone. Just tap the blue circle with the white plus inside of it next to sender's email address and save that email address to the subsequent contact in your iPhone.

You can use the list below to find the corresponding MMS server for your intended recipient’s wireless provider and append the MMS server behind the @ symbol following their wireless number (example: Sending a photograph via email to 8005551212@mms.att.net would work for a friend who does not have an iPhone but has wireless service provided by AT&T or Cingular)

TechCrunch: How Many Silicon Valley Startup Executives Are Hopped Up On Provigil?

What a world we live in! Who needs energy drinks or Starbucks?

Just a couple decades ago the recreation go-go drug was the stuff of legend and wars. Cocaine's irresistible draw had the jet set racing around like jacked up squirrels. Today's pharmaceuticals make it far easier for people to keep going without the stigma Cocaine eventually had.

Is someone you work with taking Provigil to give them an extra competitive edge? I’ve spoken with one executive who says he uses it regularly to work twenty hour days, and the buzz lately is that it’s the “entrepreneur’s drug of choice” around Silicon Valley. Over the last week two separate entrepreneurs have mentioned it casually in conversation, and one said he tried it once and loved it.

Provigil (aka Modafinil) is marketed by Cephalon in the United States and is available by prescription only. It’s only approved use in the U.S. is to treat narcolepsy, a sleeping disorder. But since the main effect of Provigil is to keep you awake and able to concentrate, a lot of people who get their hands on it use it to be able to work longer hours, even though it has not been deemed safe for that kind of use.

Recreational Provigil user testimonials are all over the web. Not only are people able to work with little or no sleep, the drug has the advantage of spurring weight loss and some users report a general mood enhancing side effect. The U.S. military has also reportedly tested it on helicopter and F117 pilots to see if they remain effective for up to 88 hours without sleep.

There are few side effects to Provigil compared to stimulants and it is supposedly not habit forming. That, of course, doesn’t mean it’s safe to take it just to be able to stay awake for 20 hours a day.

What’s so funny is that entrepreneurs apparently aren’t interested in typical drugs - instead they find the one that gives them a mental and stamina advantage. Perhaps some enterprising venture capitalist will start requiring founders of their companies to get a prescription in order to close on an investment.

Finest Knife Sharpening System IMHO

TechCrunch: Netflix Coming to Xbox 360 With Live Content Sharing

NetFlix is coming to the 360! COOL!

Netflix is coming to the Xbox 360 this fall. Netflix subscribers will have instant access to over 10,000 movies and TV shows, streamed directly to the Xbox 360 console.

What’s more, with the new Live Party feature coming to the Xbox 360, you’ll be able to stream whatever Netflix content you’re watching to the rest of the people in your Live Party group — groups can contain up to eight people and everyone will be watching the movie or TV show at the same time, which oughta further alleviate the need to actually leave your house to interact with people face to face.

It’s unknown whether or not the other people in your Live Party have to be Netflix subscribers in order to view the streamed content. I’d think so, but it’d be nice if only one person in the group had to pony up for Netflix.
