Bomb Threat at School

This is believed to be a world first blog post on this piece of news. I checked the Google Blog Search and Technorati.

Today at Walla Walla High School there was a bomb threat. Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing (whew!). It was discovered yesterday and, according to rumors, the bomb was to go off at 2:00 PM today. The school district and high school used their right to "search and seizure" to search students' backpacks during 1st, 2nd, and 5th periods. (Not everyone has a 1st period, and 5th period is right after lunch, and our school has a semi-open campus policy.) Then at approximately 1:50 PM, the school evacuated and they had fire trucks on hand. Students were sent back to class at about 2:08 PM. However, because many students "didn't feel safe at school" today, about half the school went home today. (I didn't, and I think most of these students just wanted to go home.) Also, the sheriff's patrol was on campus all day long with bomb sniffing dogs. This is the most seriously I've seen a bomb threat be taken at our school. If you have any info on this (like who did it) contact the school administrators.

Cool Site Showcasing the Power of Flash

A site that I found out about last year has some of the coolest looking flash stuff on the internet. Neave.com is operated by a guy who does flash and stuff for a living, but it showcases his personal work. Included on the site is one of the best Flash versions of Pac-Man on the internet. No, I take that back, THE best. It also has other old school games. However, the lab has the really impressive stuff. The showcase of the lab is Flash Earth, which is like a Flash version of Google Earth, using Google Maps images, or Microsoft Virtual Globe images (with or w/0 labels). Really impressive piece of flash. I also like the "Imagination" thing. The best part is, Flash source code (FLA files) are avaliable for most of the stuff in the lab. Even the FLAs for the sites design are included. Basically, great interesting things and games. Check it out.
