A good friend of mine built a great Flash app to capture the world's votes for the upcoming US Election.  It's a great idea for a site and executed really well.  If you have 30 seconds to spare, please head over to theworldfor.com, place you vote and then adjust the sliders for the issues you care about most.  Over 1,000 votes in the first day and counting...

Immigration update

A friend of mine works for a law firm producing newsletters on Immigration matters and the since the latest one directly concerns me I thought I'd share them from now on.

There are two major updates in two newsletters. The first concerns the new legislation which comes into effect on Sept 30th requiring all individuals on the Visa Waiver Program to be fingerprinted and photographed on entry to the US and is available here.

The second details the proposed changes to L1 and H1 visa fees and restrictions and can be found here.

Please let them know you heard about the company from me if you contact the law firm regarding any immigration matters. Hope this helps!
