Rusty Wallace for President

We need someone to run for President that is not John Kerry and not George Bush. We need someone to run for President that has actaully felt the effects of the poor economy. I really don't think Bush and Kerry feel any effects of the economy. When I say economy I mean the economy in families homes not the economy that corporations live in.

We need someone with recognition that wasn't born into where they are. Rusty would be a great choice for 2008. He is retiring after 2005 so he will have some time.

Software Renaissance

I keep reading these articles about software revolutions that are happening because of OpenSource and other things of that nature. After reading many of these articles I have determined that software isn't going through a revolution. It is going through a Renaissance. It is very similar the the Artistic Renaissance in that people were not learning how to paint a picture or make a sculpture instead they were redefining the way they did it and the what their final producted looked like.

This is really the same with software. Nothing new is actually happening in software. People are still writing code and it is still being run by the computer. What is changing is how a programmer looks at it, creates it, designs it and what the finished product looks like.

Renaissance is also defined by "revival of learning" which falls right into the lap of the OpenSource community. This is becuase the OpenSource community is about sharing knowledge and learning from others.

Voting for Hawaii and Alaska

I have been thinking about the issues that Hawaii has with their votes not counting. If Florida can vote for 2 weeks I think Hawaii should vote the day before the actual election. Their votes would then be available for the rest of the US.

I also think that exit polls should be banned until a certain time of day. If they keep exit polls they should get rid of electoral votes. This way the elections would be a lot more fun.
