| Xenophobe: Warrior Princess
Interestingly enough, I've never met an unemployed one. Locking up the people who hire illegal immigrants (so they can avoid little things such as payroll taxes and workers compensation insurance) would go a long way in addressing the problem. Let's start with Mitt Romney. He's got time on his hands since he's stepped away from the presidential race. Yep, he's got the time to do some time - now there's a keen campaign slogan. If President Bush locked up Romney for hiring illegals, maybe some of their Republican counterparts would believe that he's really against the practice and this would lend credibility to his immigration reform. It does make a darling campaign slogan, "Got the Time to Do Some Time!" Wait. John McCain should use that slogan and call for Romney's arrest.

Council enlists unified communications to kill 20-year bogie
Richard Bianco, manager of information and services for the council said the business case for replacing the archaic phone system sold itself (Compare Unified Communications products). "The old system needed huge resources to maintain it. There was no direct dialing, so calls came straight to the receptionist who dialed around extensions - which occasionally dropped-out," Bianco said. .
Will's Web Watch: Tuning in to YouTube
About six months ago an email landed in my inbox from a friend with a link to a video clip. The URL pointed to YouTube.com. I'd not heard of it before then and thought nothing of it, given it seemed just one of many websites out there hosting video clips. But now just half a year later there can't be many people on the internet - or the planet - who aren't familiar with YouTube. The site was officially launched in December 2005 by Steve Chen and Chad Hurley having started it initially in mid-2005 as a means to share videos between friends. YouTube was intended to do for video what Flickr had done for photography and to provide the web 2.0 generation with a place to post and view user-generated content. Since then things have sky-rocketed. In July the site served more than one hundred million videos in a single day.
