My rants about the world and interesting stuff I find. Useful or useless. You be the judge.

If your friend says something like "I want to kill people at school" your response needs to be "uh... that is not cool'' or something of that nature. Not, "dude, yea". This kid gave all out all the signs. He had even told people at school what he was planning but nothing was done. Watch his Flash animation if you don't think he sent out warning signs.School Killer's Animated Terror - March 23, 2005
The kids who did all the damage at Columbine had created a Doom .wad file of the school. They were hoping to use it to practice running around shooting their classmates. I was able to find it and download it before AOL took down their websites the day of the attack. One website of theirs had nothing but "Your momma" jokes. The .wad file wasn't that good but I bet if they had Flash back then, they would have created something like this kid.
Here is a rainy day activity for you. Enjoy!

A friend once told me that you could get a light to change from red to green by flashing your high beams at the intersection or as you approached. Never did find out if it was true or an urban myth but now you can do it using infared. Pretty crazy that this is now available to anyone. What was wrong with the old light system anyway? Loud sirens and flashing lights aren't enough?
