Would it really be so terrible if we got rid of the penny?  Let’s leave out the problems associated with rounding to the nearest five cents, would any of us really care?  I know I wouldn’t, but I rarely use actual money anymore.  Nearly every transaction I make is with my debit card.  More often than not I don’t even have actual cash in my pocket.  Apparently, a majority of American want to keep the penny around.  Personally, I say get rid of it.

I may have never mentioned this, but I am an avid Yahoo user.  Even though some in the blogosphere consider it a dying breed of aggregating portals, I just love the idea having so many things right where I can easily find them; unlike Google, which basically sends you to other places.  Today, I discovered something on Yahoo that I think is great:  Donors Choose.  Basically, schools and charities list items they need or projects they need help funding.   The user can choose from a large list and decide who or what they want to help.  A good idea and a great way to harness the Internet for good.
