I’m 118% Legal!
Well, I was 99.9% legal beforehand. (at a rough guess.) So being a student has it’s advantages! Microsoft’s Dreamspark campaign is a scheme for students to download Microsoft software completely free of charge provided you meet the criteria.

Childrens television mashup
Although Lucas is just over one year old now, he loves it when the childrens show Lazytown is shown on T.V. As kids shows go it’s not all that bad and fairly entertaining.
