This is an interesting little tool I found that anyone can use. You enter your Zipcode and it displays a map of all the politcal contributors in your zipcode. It shows both Republican and Democrat contributions.
It is still in the testing stage and may take a few minutes to generate a map so be patient and read the instructions.

Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor

If you’re thinking about purchasing The latest operating system from Microsoft called Windows Vista for your current windows XP system, that is due to be released in early 2007, then you should download and run this tool:

Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor beta

Note: Make sure you have at least 15gb or more of free hard drive space, otherwise you’re just wasting your time running this tool. Go to My Computer and right click on your hard drive and select properties to see if you have at least 15gb free. If you dont have enough room, clear out some space. Most people have at least a 20gb hard drive. The standard is pretty much 40gb. If you have less then 15gb of total hard drive space in your computer then its time to upgrade. I havent seen a Desktop or laptop sold with less then 40gb of hard drive for a long time.

Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor Site

Word of advice: Dont buy a new desktop or laptop until Windows Vista is released in early 2007. There will probably be alot of deals on Desktops and laptops right before the release of Windows Vista Then maybe later on, you can snag a copy of Windows Vista on Ebay for a lower price and then upgrade.

Read about Windows Vista and all its new features here: Windows Vista Home

If your desktop or laptop doesnt have the hardware to run Vista. Do not worry. Its better to wait until you’re ready to purchase a new desktop or laptop(See above: Word of advice). You’ll save money and you wont be dissapointed if Windows Vista turns out to be a disaster like Windows ME. I plan on waiting to be on the safe side.

For a detailed inside look at Windows Vista go here: http://www.winsupersite.com/vista/ This guy is a pro.

Here’s a link to his main page, its worth your time to check it out: Paul Thurrotts’s Supersite for Windows

Make Windows XP behave like Windows Vista.(Transparent Windows)

You can add the transparency feature to Windows XP now. Cool see thru effects. Windows Vista is not quite out yet, but that doesnt mean you cant have some of its cool features for free.

Just download this file and install and you have transparency for free.

If this is true, you’re witnessing the end of oil.(Im still skeptical)

If this isnt a hoax this guy will win a Nobel Prize or the oil companies will buy him out. What do you think will happen first? Im skeptical of this technology, but hopeful.

This is their Fearless Leader?

Zarqawi is having a hard time using the M249 S.A.W.(Squad Automatic Weapon) His subordinate, has to clear the weapon for him because obviously ole ABU doesnt have the skills to figure it out. Also check out his sporty New Balance tennis shoes. His subordinate later on grabs the hot barrel and then quickly hands it to another subordinate.
For those that dont know, Zarqawi is the head insurgent in Iraq. This is the evil bastard that cut Nick Berg’s head off.
I should also point out that Abu Zarqawi is not a Iraqi citizen. He is a foreigner. The commander of AL Queda in Iraq.

Here is a link to the other videos that show more footage: http://www.youtube.com/results?tag=zarqawi This video was found in a safehouse after a raid. This blooper footage was cut out of the actual message ABU broadcasted on TV just a week ago.
