Tonight is my senior prom, and guess who won't be going.... Alas I've known for years that people like me don't go to proms, so it's not that suprising. Such is life.

Now this is neat. Some guy is using Samba de Amigo to lose weight (Unfortunatly the site is now bankrupt). I guess shaking maracaas (as well as your body) would be pretty good excercise. I know playing DDR is a great way to lose the pounds, as they even include a "diet mode" in the home version where it counts the calories you burn playing. Who would have thought that videogames could be so healthy for you? :)

There is a new worm out for Linux systems called the Cheese worm. What's interesting about this particular worm is that instead of destroying a system, it attempts to patch security holes in the system. So it's like a "good" worm. Some have theorized that perhaps something like this could be used to fix poorly adminstered machines, but in the end, it's still breaking into a computer which is illegal.
