Seventh grade was when we all moved out of elementary school into junior high.  Junior High had lockers.  With lockers came the annoying feature of having to be unlocked multiple times a day.  Some kids figured out jamming paper at the bottom kept the lock from locking.  The problem with this solution was that you could tell from the outside who used this trick.  For them security went from “locked” to “Look at me I’m an unlocked locker”.  I decided the better solution was to just remove the back side of the lock.  Thus keeping the locker looking like it was locked, but in reality just as unsafe as others.  Security through obscurity.

This worked out great for a few weeks, I even removed the lock for my girlfriend at the time.  Then one day she had her locker searched.  Gig was up, “destroying school property”.  Luckily only she got busted and didn’t rat me out.  To be safe I put the lock back on my locker.  Only problem was at some point the combo lock had fallen off and I had put it on upside down.  So now my locker was locked but the combo was upside down.  I tried a few time to unlock it with no success.

With my head hanging low I had to turn myself in.  I didn’t have a choice.  I was locked out of my locker.  I was told to go back to class and it would be taken care of.  About half way though the class I hear a drill start-up in about the same location as my locker.  After class I notice some dents on my locker and a new lock.  I head down to the office and am presented with a $27 bill to pay for the new lock.

I still say my locker security was better than anyone else in that school.

tl;dr – Locked locker to the point it had to be drilled open in the middle of school day.

I had a great time watching this movie.  Notice I didn’t say this was a great movie.  I would explain this movie as exactly the same as She’s Out of My League with magic added.  Basically Nicolas Cage is a sorcerer looking for “Neo”.  Once he finds “the one” he starts fighting his arch-nemesis to save the world from being taken over by zombies. Jay Baruchel is “the one” but is also in love with a hot girl he shouldn’t really have a chance with.   Throw in a couple more love stories, some fake science, a few huge Tesla coils and BAM! you have just made this movie.

I went to see it with Alii and Strages.  Alii was a hoot, she was laughing hard at every little thing.  It made the movie experience great.   Strages and I were just floored by the ridiculousness of the movie.

Over the week I put together a few slides to show off some great android apps.  The idea came from brimstone when we were showing each other cool apps we had found.  I use qrCodes heavily in slides.  It’s probably the easiest way to find the apps in the Android Market.
