Damn the power company! Today was the third power disruption this week. A few days ago there were two blackouts, and today there was a brownout that murdered my personal server. I need a UPS.

I picked up the replacement power brick for my laptop after school. School was uneventful, although in electronics I did hear about a contest that the teacher was advising people to enter. Unfortunately, entries can't use living things, can't interfere with other nearby devices, have to use Duracell brand batteries (and use them correctly; they can't be abused), can't use explosives or compressed air, and can't draw more than 12 volts per function. Most of my good electronic weapon ideas are ruled out by that, although I might still be able to build my taser and enter it.
