We had a stroll @ Bellrive Country Club today. Wow, the speed limit on 1/1 Ladue Road is 45 mph there, and there is this huge hill. I hit the clutch and coasted to about 60 mph, and then I decided to hit the brakes. Mason Road is very fun north of Ladue Road, I kinda accidentaly turned in there, and had fun with the 15 mph bends.

The 11th grade annual little awards thingy was tonight. They presented me that Rensselaer Medal, which includes a $40000 scholarship. There were also little other things like All-School Activity and Service Award for Video Production Club, American Mathematics Competition, TEAMS Engineering Contest; Academic Excellence in AP US Government and Politics, Physics, AP Computer Science, Orchestra; service award for the Fine Arts Department; and the Honor Roll.
My parents got me a birthday gift, a stylus-pencil-pen hybrid. It's the Autopoint Stylus+. They said the wanted to get me a PDA, but had no idea what I liked, so just got me a pen for one instead. Ought to go out and buy a PalmPilot now.

Woah, I got my Missouri Income Tax refund today, $32. Cool! I also got a checking account, it's pretty cool, free, no minimum balance, no fees, just free checks, and free ATM. But I threw most of my money into a Certificate of Deposit anyways, the return rate is a whopping 7% right now.

Woah, there is an entirely awesome editorial on copyrights of media on the internet. I put it up on the Computer Articles page.
Woah, CD rates are up to 7%. That's insane, time to put all my money into CD. Interesting - Firstar has this thing, you buy CDs in either 7, 17, or 27 month terms. Those are some weird time intervals. Free checking policy has gotten more lenient, it's $100 minimum balance now.
On the other hand, gas prices are @ an all time high. $1.49 for a gallon @ the cheapest. Owell, I can live with that, been spoiled all last year with $.69 a gallon.
