School Year has started: Procrastination Drive, Enabled.

My Senior year of High school is now two weeks old. and my ability to procrastinate is in full effect. I might as well say it is great. I have an essay due for English 4 on Monday. But as you see I am spending my time blogging and working on a song Suite. Yeah, procrastination is great.

BTW, my Xbox gamercard is Camulus18

Laptops: What is new?

Wednesday and Thursday USD 500 handed out laptops to students for the Laptops for Learning program. Other than my new casing on mine (I miss the burrito stains) some things have changed.

The most apparent is the Widget application. For those of you who do not know, widgets are an Apple application that allows you to access personalized information and hold information. There are hundreds of widgets available online at the Apple website. But unbeknownst to me it apparently is unfit for access. Of course there will be a follow up as I get more information.

Not New news
The application Schoolhouse still does not work. Of course this would be a good tool for students as it is an assignment tracker, agenda, and teacher connect. Very good for students, if it worked. it seems that USD 500 still worries more about blocking websites for money than getting applications to run.

Another hip hip hooray for (Amanda) Tapping's birthday.


After graduation Tapping continued to study theatrical arts while performing in several stage productions. She appeared in several television commercials and played a variety of roles in television and film productions, such as The Outer Limits and The X-Files. She also formed a comedy troupe, the "Random Acts", with collaborators Katherine Jackson and Anne Marie Kerr, in Toronto in the early 90s[3].
Tapping is best known for her portrayal of Samantha Carter in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, which debuted in 1997. After SG1 aired its final episode, Tapping reprised the role of Samantha Carter on Stargate Atlantis as the new commander of the Atlantis expedition.[4]. In season five however, Tapping's role on the show was reduced to that of "special guest-star" with only occasional appearances[5] due to Tapping choosing to focus her attention on the development of a new series for the SCI FI Channel called Sanctuary. The show consisted of 13 episodes which expanded on an original show released on the internet in 2007 as a series of eight "webisodes", where the bulk of the scenery and characters are entirely green screen and CGI creations. Tapping serves as both star and executive producer of the show.
In 2007, Tapping won a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Actress for her role in the short film Breakdown.
