Arriving Somewhere

Well, I survived finals… which wasn’t easy given the dissapearance of the usb memory stick that held my final project - a database app I hadn’t backed up in a week. I hope the student who took it flunked his finals… grrr… Although I am happy to report that I received A’s in both [...]

The Federal Election Commission is reviewing its regulations concerning political speech on the internet as a federal court has ordered them to draw up new rules to govern campaign financing spent on the web.
