We had some kind of bomb threat today at school right after I got done eating lunch. First we went out to where we normally go for fire drills, but after about 30 minutes they sent us out to the stadium to sit for the next 2 hours. So from about 11:15 AM to 2:10 PM, we were just sitting/standing around doing nothing. Finally at 2 they let us go home. So the end result is I miss 3 class periods and I don't have my Calculus book to do my homework. And speaking of Calculus, we had an extra long math period due to some sophmore standarized testing, so we did straight math for an hour and 40 minutes. Fun fun fun!

Law.com has an interesting article about how this one guy fights software pirates. Mainly through scare tactics, he can get people to quit sharing software over the internet, with varied success. It's a different viewpoint on a very common occurance. Of course, if all your software is GPL'd, then you don't have to worry about pirating at all since it's already free.

I'll be watching the Grammy's tonight. Eminiem and Elton John should be a very eventful duet don't you think? :)
