Piracy, Freeware, Shareware vs. Society

I think that we are in a tough position with software piracy. We try to take great precations to prevent the piracy but everytime someone can break through the barriers and break the law. I have no input for the people in charge because I think that they are doing everything that they can. The endless piracy effects our society greatly because the freeware software may have to become shareware as an extra precaution. It is not fair to the people that are using the software for enjoyment and learning purposes.

My Snow Day

Yesterday, I woke up to the radio listing the school delays and closings. It was 7:00 a.m. so I decided to just stay up and start my day. As you can already guess I had a school closing and my morning was very layed back. I helped my sister with a project for a little bit (around 2:00) and then my mom and I ran some errands. After we picked my sister up from basketball we went home and ate dinner as a family. To end my night I had choir practice for church this weekend. By that time it was 9:00 p.m.; I went home and got everything ready for school and headed for bed.

That was my Snow Day....... how was yours?

Outlook on Arizona Shooting

When I heard about what happened this weekend I was shocked. It is so sad to hear that Loughner needed so much help that he had to go and harm others. Some of the articles say that more precautions could have been taken but I disagree. It sounds like the school and the teacher did everything they could. Besides, they had a feeling he could be harmful but they did not know that he could do something to that extremity. It is very sad that events like this can happen, but the police and other forces are doing the best they can.

Blogs That Interest Me.....

I found two blogs that I think are really fun to look at and explore. The first one is called Simply Marvelous and it is all about horses. I enjoy reading the stories that are posted and looking at the different pictures. The second blog that I found is called Maw Books Blog. I picked Maw Books Blog because I enjoy reading; the posts are reviews on books and recomendations about the bloggers favorites. 


Here are the URL's for the blogs if you would like to look at them........
