Wow. This is an astounding story about a high-school senior's experiment with free speech at school. I admit to getting goosebumps reading it.

Nick Bradbury has this excellent post slamming software pirates. I like his "deliberate error mesage" idea a lot. It would be even better if it said something like, "You loser piece of garbage. You stole my software. Now I will steal your data." and then it wipes the offender's hard drive. Or at LEAST uninstalls itself.
I ran across this ducks and grates story the other day and then wanted to send it on to someone, so I googled "ducks, grates" and whoa.... Apparently ducklings fall through sewer grates a lot! This is not something that ever occurred to me. Poor li'l duckies :-(
Daniel Akst's piece in the WSJ today urges graduates to "Ignore the high-minded advice. Make some money. It's your moral obligation." I can't quite decide how I feel about it, since I do believe the world is a better places for having artists, but I think he has a point.
