Everyone should have a friend like Daniel who pushes one in new directions. First it was learning to write HTML from scratch. (He laughed at me until I did it!) Now it's on to blogging, we'll see if anyone else finds my 'new things' fun too.

The things I found this morning aren't "fun" in the usual sense. Anyone that knows me well has seen my activist streak. Check out the links on the sidebar for two awesome groups.

The Cost of War site compares the current total cost of the war (as can be seen below on this blog as well) to how much the same money could buy for programs such as Head Start, Health Care for Children, Affordable Housing.

Along a similar vein, o.s. Earth has published some great cost comparison tools as well.
