Suyen was driving back from her new job, and I was playing with the camera feature of the Treo.

3:00 PM-4:00 PM 22nd & Vine -- got vid of the building. We met Aq there.
4:00 PM-5:00 PM Bruce R. Watkins center to get an interview with a former member of the Black Archives board.

We did an interview in here. I set up by the Bruce R. Watkins display. It has an electronic eye sensitive to motion that starts the recording about the history of Bruce R. Watkins. While I set up for our interview, I got educated. I really enjoyed it.


4:30 PM-5:00 PM Back at the Black Archives building. Set up for our lives.

This was the subject of our story today. There is a lot of history stacked up in there. Unfortunately those who care about it don't have the money to do anything, and it has sat neglected for many years. Oh, the building is old an old firestation buit in 1931.


This used to be an old penal work house. It sits abandoned.


These derelict buildings are marked Roads department. They would make a great set of shops and galleries and a coffeehouse someday. The city will probably tear them down though.


5:00 PM-6:00 PM Live at 5 on the internet, using the Palm & the laptop.

7:00 PM-8:00 PM Dropped Sherita off at the station. I went in search of grub. I tried Grinders first but they were too busy, so I got DQ to go -- had bbq pork sandwhich, large fries & large mug root beer. Put my camera on the bench -- the lens fell off.

8:30 PM-9:00 PM Argument with 2 about the phones. Started cutting the pkg. The whole story changed with new info. Now no longer live.

This was a job I used to do. It's tough -- lots of pressure. I don't love it. Matt is an aspiring photographer with a bright future. Someday, hopefully soon, he will be released from the editing dungeon.
