Question: "Recent polls have shown 1/5 of Americans can't locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?"
South Carolina: "I personally believe that you as Americans are unable
to do so because (um) some people out there in our nation dont have
maps. And I believe that our education, such as South Africa and the
Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should-- our

Here's a quick tip for verifying local group membership. This is a quick and easy way to see if someone is a member of a local group. I use this when trying to quickly see if someone is a member of the Administrators group. Simply open the command prompt and run the following code:
As part of my quest to find a good video solution for my website, I'm trying out Google Video. The video quality is a lot better than the local tool I was using (Sothink Flash Encoder), but the video is a lot choppier.

I recently added some new features to the website that will

If you've been reading my blog within the past few months,
you've probably noticed I've been on a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) kick. While a big part of this is to increase search
engine ranking and traffic, the other part is to increase the quality of the
site. If google likes your site, people probably will too.To some of you this may seem a little odd,
but it's true. I won't go into the
details in this article, but google has a lot of features in its algorithms
that make sure your site is as search engine popular as it is socially popular.
