Put your money where your heart is

http://www.choosetheblue.com

Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. I've already tried to do this to the extent that I know about particular companies, but this site makes it pretty easy to see which company is on which side of the fence.

I actually wanted to do a site like this myself, but I haven't found the time. Now I don't have to, someone else did it for me. :-)


From the Choose Blue main page:

  • Corporations are as important as politicians in American Politics.
  • You know what party a politician supports. Do you know which political party a company supports?
  • ChooseTheBlue tells you what corporations donated to political parties.
  • If each American who voted for John Kerry spends $100 in 2005 on a Blue company instead of a Red company, we can move $5 Billion away from Republican companies and add $5 Billion to the income of companies who donate to Democrats.
  • This will be noticed!  Choose where you buy ... and make a difference!!!

    Bitlocker Bites the Dust

    With a rather terse, "we're shutting down, so git yer data off our system," Bitlocker announces its demise. I never really used it for anything, but it certainly appeared to be a well designed solution for people who needed db connectivity for their sites but either couldn't afford that level of hosting or didn't have the ability to set up a db system themselves.
