Presidential Election 2004

Have you made your choice for President yet? Or are you still undecided?
Here are the the sites for the major candidates: Bush and Kerry.
Ralph Nader's site can be found here.

If you want to learn about other political parties go to the Directory Of U.S. Political Parties.

There are plenty of sites that predict the election and track the polls. I like the Electoral Vote Predictor 2004 and Election Projection 2004 Edition.

Other sites that are tracking the election: President Elect, Red Blue Chart, LAtimes.com electoral vote tracker, and PBS's Online News Hour.

You can learn all about the Electoral College on their official site.

RSS Feeds and Feed Readers

I have been learning about and using RSS feeds for a few weeks now. RSS feeds are a way to quickly check web sites for updates. You use a RSS feed reader to check for the updates. There are web-based feed readers like Bloglines, Syndic8, and NewsIsFree and stand-alone programs such as SharpReader ,FeedReader and Awasu .

Another option is to use the Firefox browser which has LiveBookmarks and auto-detects RSS feeds. There is also an extension for Firefox called Sage that can be used to check feeds. I prefer to use Sage for my RSS feeds. Finally, another option is to use My Yahoo! which now supports the use of RSS.

A good introduction to RSS can be found on the USA Today website.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

USATODAY.com - Fall TV offers 19-day football streak

Sometimes it seems football is on TV all the time. During an unprecedented stretch of 19 consecutive days this fall, it will be.

Football teams play only once a week, but television viewers are under no such restriction. From Oct. 28 to Nov. 15, at least one football game — major college or pro — will be televised each day. That includes Election Day.

The NFL will present its traditional Sunday-Monday fare, but college football will be on the air for 13 of the 19 days.
