Big Changes Coming!

I am currently in the process of redesigning this site to reflect my new web-design/pc-repair business. In the very near future (I’m shooting for a week, tops), I’ll be upgrading my wordpress install, cleaning out a lot of old posts, and installing a brand-new, custom-built and completely badass theme for this site (good thing too, as my current install seems to be completely whacked. In the future I’ll be updating this site a helluva lot more often, be sure to check back soon!

I “stumbled” this tonight and was really impressed, a site with animated maps of various military campaigns. Very informative for history and military buffs alike.

“No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

- Winston Churchill, 1947 A.D.

Where has democracy dominated and where has it retreated? This map gives us a visual ballet of democracy’s march across history as the most popular form of government. From the first ancient republics to the rise of self-governing nations, see the history of democracy: 4,000 years in 90 seconds…!
