Over at How to Save the World there’s a pretty detailed post on how people share information. I’d say that it’s pretty accurate. It seems to be the way my job works anyway.

It’s too bad that our jobs almost always turn into an US versus THEM battle.

I’ve fallen in love with a new band: Nightwish. They play a sort of Gothic rock, or as I like to call it Cathedral Rock.

My favorite songs: Wishmaster, The Phantom of the Opera, and Wish I had an Angel.

Rock!

Rock ON with your bad self!

This kid gets mad props. If you’re hardcore democrat, anti-war, or consider yourself a liberal you may not like the above site. However I encourage you to read the page and leave me a comment about it anyway, especially if you disagree with something. I’d love to hear about it. In fact it might make my day.

Many of my friends are new to the blogging scene, and therefore I’ve decided I should post a little information to help them delve deeper into the internet world. Today we’ll talk about streamlining your blog reading process.

Survey: 11% of blog readers use RSS, 66% of people don’t know what RSS is.

Rather than bore you with a technical discussion of RSS and Atom Feeds you can use one of the best internet resources, the Wikipedia! Here is the RSS entry.

Suffice it to say that RSS feeds allow you to direct content from several sources into one easy to read location. Using an RSS feed reader you can download the feeds from all of your favorite blogs or websites right to your desktop. This eliminates the need to surf to each individual blog or website to check and see if they are updated. Open up your reader and poof all of the blogs with new posts appear instantaneously(or a little slower if you’re cursed with dial-up).

Personally I use Omea Reader, a wonderful (and FREE!) news aggregator. You can find an extensive list of readers here.

As a bonus for Firefox users, after installing Omea Reader,you can download an extension that lets you subscribe to the rss feed without entering them into Omea. (Although I can’t for the life of me find the link too it… anyone know of it?) I heart internet technology!

Where do I start with this topic. It’s just huge. Everyone has an opinion and it seems that no two people share the same one. A few people have been pestering me to start this post, so here’s a beginning at least.

What’s my take? Well hold on to your pants…
Welcome to the wonderful world of illegal immigration!
First things first for those of you REALLY into today’s topic here are some introductory links and opinions: Browse at your Peril!

As you can see from just ONE internet link, there is a plethora of information available on illegal immigration. If you’re like me, you brain will explode if too much information tries to implant itself in your brain, so take some time and we’ll try to get our heads around this topic together.

Today is just information day, I will give you my opinion another day, tomorrow if you’re all nice.

Lets first present a little research.
1.) A few introductory terms to keep in mind.
2.) How can one become a US citizen?
3.) How many Illegal Immigrants are in the US? Here and Here.

Now it’s time to light the fires! Here’s some things to get your blood rising…
Liberty Demands Open Borders!
Pictures-Anti-immigration.
How your Representatives are Voting!
Articles Advocating Immigration & Pro Immigration Organizations.
Life without illegal immigrants - effects on the economy.
Aliens in College.

This is just a small sample of the information available on the internet. My next post will detail my opinion on the whole matter, so happy reading, and don’t worry too much, it’s not worth loosing sleep over.
