OpenSecrets.org is a little scary due to the detail of content freely available. However, it’s always true that in politics, the more you know, the better off we all are. Funded by the nonpartisan and independent Center for Responsive Politics, OpenSecrets.org tracks “the influence of money on U.S. politics.” The site… |

Maggie and I have experienced the advantages and the pitfalls of subscribing to magazines over the internet. A few times I’ve gotten really good deals that included about five or six magazines for cheaper than I’d have paid for one subscription. It encouraged me to try some that I ended up… |

| Call to Arms |
It’s great to be an American. It can never be denied that our government provides well for us. Each election we debate which areas need improvement, which areas should be left alone, and hopefully elect candidates who will achieve that agenda. And if not, well, we’ll get ‘em next election. There’ll… |

Even though I’ve been ripping and burning MP3’s for years, it’s only been since I got my iPhone that I’ve been using my MP3’s for regular playback. Up until now, my MP3’s were simply an easier way to organize and store my music collection. I’ve mostly only used MP3’s as a… |

| Changes |
I’ve often found that the best method for getting a life change to stick is to couple it with other, sometimes benign changes. You’ll be more apt to quit smoking if you also change your hairstyle, buy some new clothes, and start working out. Also, I’ve found that when you change… |

Maggie and I watched The Big Chill the other day on cable. I’ve never really been able to get into The Big Chill the way that some people, like my sister, Ellen, seem to. I don’t know if it’s a difference in age or experiences, but I just don’t find the… |
