Political evils – Mitt Romney's tax plan – I saw an ad for Obama, regarding Mitt's tax 'reduction'. I also saw Clint Eastwood's statement that the tax rate is fair, but from what can bee seen of it the tax plan leads to less taxes for the rich and more for the poor.

It's bad enough that politicians continue to put the 'fiscal cliff' (a real bi-partisan budget) on the back burner, but taking roughly $2,000 out of the pockets of the low and middle class right now is insane.

NASA's Curiosity landed on Mars this morning, and it had to have been one of the coolest landings they ever pulled off! Now they have a car-sized rover on the planet, dropped by a sky crane!

Do something useful with your useless old smartphone! If you're shy you could use it to meet girls, or just attach 'frickin' laser beams' to them! Either way, these look pretty cool!

Lawn not green these days? What's a green lawn worth to you? Something about picturing a sign that reads 'fresh lawn paint', it kind of reminds me of another sign I saw in Kentucky that read 'used cows for sale'.

Bipartisan politics, anyone? Is there such a thing anymore? It seems that the last time anything decent got done was when Clinton was in office.

Give us someone who is respected on both sides to vote for, please?

Here is a recent article about password security, since it seems there have been a lot of popular sites that have been hacked lately.

It is my recommendation, and my practice, that you have at least three strong passwords. The article explains strong passwords, so I won't go into it. At the very least you should consider a unique password for banking, one for email and one for everything else. Also consider the reputation of the site before you use one of your more common passwords with them, if that's how you roll.

In the end it is ideal to use a password tracker program, and have a unique password for each site, and then memorize the password for you email in case you need to have your password emailed to you. That doesn't work well if you can't get into your email!

Isn't it time we take control from our politicians? Why do we pay them and their staff so much money when this is the digital age?

For those of us that are educated and interested in what happens in our lives and communities, we could help form decisions at the speed of light using our computers! Rather than our leaders making questionable decisions among themselves, or bending to the will of the lobbyist make a transparent electronic application to help taxpayers take ownership of the laws that are passed and the dollars that are spent. The same process could be used to eliminate the electoral college as well.

There are so many possibilities to help give some control back to the taxpayers! Having representatives is still helpful, and we still need people to help educate us in the decisions to be made, but just imagine if lobbyists had to pay all of the taxpayers rather than just a small group of people. It seems to me that we, the people, would have more influence over what happens with our money.
