In one thousand years, how will we be studied? How will the future even know we were here when our cheaply-constructed buildings will long be dust and our intellectual property scattered ones and zeroes in the wind?

I've finally gotten the pictures of our recent trip to Pittsburgh off our two camera, organized them chronologically (sort of), and uploaded them to our flickr account. I split the photos up into a Pittsburgh set and a Falling Water set. Falling Water was, of course, much more picturesque, but that's not to say that Pittsburgh's skyline wasn't interesting.
As we pulled into Pittsburgh, we definitely got the impression that we weren't in DC anymore. Some would (and have) called the buildings ugly, but I kind of have to disagree. "Different" is a better word. You also wouldn't confuse the place with New York, either. It had its own feel: older, more industrial, architecturally solid. Also, empty (but that could have been the fact that it was downtown on a weekend.
If you ever get to go, I'd recommend the Andy Warhol Museum (seven stories of Andrew Warhola may seem like overload, but it goes fast and is much more interesting than you might think, even if Pop Art's not your thing). We couldn't make it to the Mattress Factory, but heard that was interesting. And if you have time to pop out of the city, check out Falling Water. Despite the tourists, it's a good time.
Playing around with pictobrowser, it appears I can only make a slideshow of a specific set. I'll go with the more aesthetically pleasing Falling Water.
Finally updated my flickr photostream yesterday with pictures from our trip to the new stadium, Cyndi's birthday trip up to New York, and pics from Boston and the HOW Conference. Interesting aside, the Colonnade Hotel, where I stayed in Boston, commented on a few of my photos, two of which were room pics, of course, but one that had nothing to do with the hotel. Way to embrace free web publicity, Colonnade Hotel!
Cyndi's been singing the They Might Be Giants jingle for a while now, but it's decided to go ahead and infect my brain as well. In any case, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out the video. There could be worse things stuck in your head.
Oddly enough, this was a harder decision to make than actually deciding to buy the place. I'm not sure why that was the case, but it was. I'm afraid some of my more cynical attributes are coming out. Paperwork does that to me, I suppose.
Anyway, the flickr set has a few more photos from today's home inspection. I put together a Vox collection, too, just for kicks. We're already thinking of ways to fix it up and make it ours (you can make checks out to either me or Cyndi).
Oh, and in other news, I finally got my Tivo yesterday (note: for DHL, overnight=one week). So I guess things are looking up. Now the question is, am I going to have cable in a month to utilize the Tivo...
