I didn’t graduate but I have friends that did. On Wednesday Amy and I went to Joanna and Nelson’s convocation. It was so boring. I spent most of it just talking to Amy and Joanna’s brother Edward.
After the ceremony it was picture taking time. I really liked how this photo came out. Kudos to Amy for taking the photo.
On thursday the arts people graduated. So I swung by convocation hall, e.g. our school gym, to take some photos of the accountants. I bumped into shawn and talked to him for a while. I forgot that all the accountants are in Arts, for some reason I thought it was an accountants only convocation.
I showed up a little late, so by the time I got there everyone was taking photos with their family. I was just this strange brown man taking photos of friends. I imagine a lot of the parents were like, “Who is this strange brown man taking photos of my kid?”
Today was a pretty chill day. Did a bit of math, made some cookies, nothing too exciting. I also bought all of friends from Amazon.com. AlisoN Sudol from A Fine Frenzy is following me on twitter. I feel so popular now.
I also need to get around to buying Coda and Textmate. I feel I use both programs so much now when building stuff for money that it feels wrong to use it for free. My viewpoint on software piracy is if you are making money with the software you should probably pay for it. If the software totally changes the way you use your computer, you should probably pay for it. If you are just using the software to do school assignments and what not, then I don’t think it is wrong to steal it. Well it is wrong to steal regardless, but just less wrong to steal software when you aren’t actually making any money from it.
The reason I use making money as a criteria for buying software is because if you are making money using a person’s program, then clearly they deserve some portion of that money.
