News of the story about Yahoo refusing to open up the email account of a Marine killed in action has been raising questions about privacy and just what happens to all that information stored behind passwords. I know I have a lot of information on my computer (which is password protected) that I'm sure people might like to know after I'm dead, but that I don't want to release while I'm still alive. There's also the question of how do you let people online know that you're dead. Sure this website would never be updated again, but at what point to people think "Wow, did they die?" or maybe they just decided to move to the middle of nowhwere.

Speaking of death, I know I've put this elsewhere on the site, but whenever that should occur, I first want all viable organs donated, and then my body donated to science. If there's anything left over after that, then I want my ashes shot into space, just because who knows, maybe it'll end up on some planet someday and the beings over there would use it as proof of life elsewhere. I really don't understand why everyone doesn't donate their organs, you're dead already, might as well help someone else live.

The next Harry Potter book comes out on July 16th, which is a lot sooner than I would have thought. One of my other favorite authors, Michael Crichton, has a new book called State of Fear out as well now. I loved most of his books, except for his last one Prey, which I really didn't like at all. I'll have to get a hold of this one though, or probably just end up reading it an hour at a time in Barnes and Noble, which I've done before with other novels.

I saw Maria Full of Grace last night. It was really good.

The Albert Einstein action figure. How awesome is that?
