Geography, English, and Miss Teen South Carolina.

Why not? After all, I took the SATs 3 times.

Why give this girl such a hard time? She's 18, she's on national TV, and she's probably a little nervous. Besides... I can understand why she misunderstood the question. I was surprised to hear that 1 in 5 Americans couldn't find the United States on a map. I'd like to know where that statistic came from (try this). Lauren Caitlin Upton referenced that sentiment when she stated that she and all of her friends knew where the US was on a map.

On the other hand, I work with some people that couldn't find their own @$$ with both hands and a flashlight.

It's not your phone...

...it has our logo on it.
I can understand that it may be illegal to sell plans to hack the iPhone. But can you really sue a kid for figuring out how to unlock it?
It's his iPhone. He bought it (or rather, it was given to him). Regardless... He owns it. It's not illegal for him to drop the phone on the sidewalk. It's not illegal for him to receive an e-mail with a virus (though, it may be illegal to send that virus). Why is it illegal for him to crack the case? Why is it illegal for him to fiddle with the insides?

My Thursday Thirteen

1. Go big or go home.
2. Dave, what happened, man?
3. You can't let dogs fight... that's cruel. But, you can kill them softly.
4. Congrats, Nilay! (I hope I got the right link).
5. If anyone has a Rocklahoma t-shirt... I have a buyer.
6. Sudoku got you down? Try this.
7. Got a family member in another time zone? Don't do math... use this to find out if it's too late to call.
8. Hey, it's only 3:00. I'll add more later.

Hmmm...

This sounds like a cool idea. Fechr.com (pronounced "Feature") links to one blog each day. It's like a "Random Blog Button", but every visitor of that day gets to the same blog. What a way to increase hits that day (and if you're blog's any good, maybe you can retain some of those readers).

Why I'm not Baptist...

I read this, and I don't know what to say. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I wonder what my mom thinks about this.

By-the-way:
1. My mom is the wage earner in my parent's house. She's a minister. (I'll bet that got Jerry Falwell rolling in his grave).
2. My dad is the one cooking dinner most nights.

Parent Hacks

I just found this site and it's got some great information! It gives you parenting tips to keep your kids safe, clean, and having fun. Some are easy and quick, like the posting explaining how to turn a hotel air conditioner into a humidifier using a bath towel. Some are great safety ideas, like directing you to a site to order custom wristbands. The author commented that her children's wristbands listed her cell phone number. When they are found by a security guard or employee after wandering off in a mall or amusement park, the adult can call mom or dad and reunite them with the lost (and most likely crying) child.
I'll definately keep reading this blog.
