Well my AP Government exam was today. I think I did better on it then I thought I would before I took it. Only one of the essay questions stumped me, and I think I did pretty good on the multiple choice. Next up is phyics tomorrow afternoon.

The International Space Station is becoming more and more like home, with a new table built from scraps. A real table weighed too much, so Bill Shepherd created one out of spare pieces on the ISS. I wonder if the next thing they try to get up there will be a sofa.

Copyright law strikes again, this time preventing you from knowing your own laws. According to a federal judge and appeals court, the person who wrote the law owns the law, and can then charge for access for viewing or copying that law. So the obvious question is how can someone follow the law if they aren't allowed free and public access to it, especially in something as complicated as building codes? Will the insanity ever end?

I got my 00-01 yearbook yesterday. They're bright red (to match school colors) and very very big, much bigger than any other high school's yearbook, and even bigger than Texas Tech University's yearbook. I'm also in their more times this year than I've probally ever been in my whole life combined. It helps being involved in a fair amount of clubs and stuff, as well as being friends with the chief yearbook editor :)
