Register for free School Lockdown Alerts

Check out this service LockdownAlert.com.

Lockdown Alert works with almost any pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, special education or vocational public school in the United States.

The next time there is an unplanned event at your child’s school, you will receive a text message alert or email directing you to a web page with full details and instructions.

You can sign up to receive these free school lockdown alerts by text message to your mobile phone or via email. They cover all grade levels, from Pre-K thru College/Universities.

I thought this makes sense to register. As a standard practice, I don’t give out my cell phone number to receive text messages. Instead, I registered with one of my secondary email addresses and used Gmail’s inbox filters to forward emails from that domain to my work email and my wife’s email address.

P.S. Please share any tips or related Web sites and services. Thanks!

Jack Black Piracy PSA

Jack Black appeals to youth with this Public Service Announcement on video and audio piracy…

Excerpts:

No cash, no inspiration.
No inspiration, no rocket sauce.
No rocket sauce, no Kick-ass rock ‘n roll and videos.

Don’t be a douche. Stop piracy.

New Line produced this. At least they are appealing to the youth market in a way the audience can relate.
