As you can see I don't update here very often, so instead of leaving this stagnate site here, I'm going to be replacing it with something simpler and fresher.

I update my other sites a lot more often than here, so I'm building an app that will let me pull my content from other sites into here. This is NOT another lifestream app. Watch this space!

Today is election day, I'm happy for two reasons. Firstly the amount of election related ads on television is amazing, the amount of money spent is unbelievable and I'll be happy to see the end of them. Today is a very important day for the USA and the results today (or if it takes that long tomorrow) will shape the country for a very long time.

The direction the country chooses today will put the country on a course that won't be easy to change.

Even though I'm not allowed to vote, since I'm only a tax paying Green card holder, I've watched along with interest in both the national and state elections in NY.

The amount of reports of false advertising and finger pointing would be funny if this wasn't very serious business. There seem to be very few checks and balances in what candidates are allowed to say in ads and the rules that companies have when advertising products and services don't seem to apply.

Both Obama and McCain have pledged election reform, and many of the rules and procedures for the election system date back many, many years. In the digital age we should be able to do a better job of distributing information and finding out more about our candidates, instead of relying on advertising done by their competition.

Since I'm not allowed to vote I won't say who I'm supporting, but will be watching along by the what is reported to be record numbers of people participating.
