Political parties and voting

I want political parties to be removed from the voting picture. I voted on the primaries or whatever and I hated that I could not choose candidates that were outside of my political party. I thought that was stupid. I don't think that we should be forced to choose a party to vote. Since what you get to vote about is chosen by your party I don't necessarily think its really a fair vote. Everyone should be able to vote on everything. I am stuck with Republican but really I am not any political party.

so I propose we do away with political party picking for voters,

Its about time that I post again on here. I so need to make folders on my firefox links bar with daily, weekly, and monthly task websites. This blog should be a weekly task. I hate that it keeps getting put on the wayside. This blog and my voice are important to me after all. I just have alot going on in my life and too many blogs to try to publish on. ;)

Anyway my latest obsession lately is a new community made just for geeks!!

I don't know how familiar most people are with the more popular technical websites out there with great tech info and educational information. One that I am pretty familiar with and was following for a long time was http://www.lockergnome.com Well recently through a friend I discovered the guy that runs that Chris Pirillo has his own personal site where he webcams live almost everyday for hours on end. http://live.pirillo.com

Well in the last week he made a new community for all his followers and all the geeks of the world. This is my new obsession. I can not get enough of this site. :) You can check out the widget on my page or click here. http://geeks.pirillo.com

Yahoo and the world as we know it.

Its pretty crazy when it comes down to it. You look at the web and how far its come. There have been giants in this industry that you would suspect would have been around forever. They have always been the forefront of the activity and being the best of the best. Yahoo used to be such a giant. It was one of the greats. It was so great that it started to eat other little companies. Some of these companies I loved dearly. I don't know if anyone remembers the email company RocketMail. Well I was one of its users. I still have my rocketmail account but its a yahoo account. I love my rocketmail account. I loved rocketmail because it was so differant. I had new and innovative ways of doing email and it was pretty too. Then Yahoo came along and swallowed it. Alot of stuff got lost in the shuffle when that happened. I still use the account because I like the url in the email. Its neat. I occasionally have someone ask me if they can get a rocketmail account. And I sadly have to say no. Yahoo ate it.

Geocities was another company that yahoo ate and "improved" I never felt that they did a very good job. I liked geocities because it was also differant with the whole neighborhoods and address thing. But when yahoo ate it up bye-bye went that innovative idea. Now you just have geocities and your user name. :P

Yahoo has been eating up websites and little places that had greater ideas than them for years. And Yahoo is now struggling to keep up with Google. Google came up with the best solution for email I have seen in a great deal of time. All of a sudden when GMail came along Yahoo was losing users faster than you can say boo hoo.... They had to act fast so bye-bye went the metered email space and a brand new mail box look was invented. But yahoo's may be pretty but it still does not compete with GMail. GMail users have more options than Yahoo can even consider coming up with.

Threaded mail, pop and imap... gmail is faster and much more reliable...

I read today that there were alot of layoffs with Yahoo. I am not surprised at all. Yahoo has always tried to take on more than it can chew.
