Free Office 2003 for Small Businesses
You’ve got to hurry and register for this, but you can get a free copy of Office 2003 by listening to at least 3 webcasts over a 4 day period in mid-March an submitting brief evaluations of those webcasts.
This is an easy way to earn some great expensive software. I know this is not […]
Local Students Can Submit Teacher Feedback
This may cause some local disruption, but life’s short, right?
District 91 is near the end of their second trimester, so it seems a good time to let students in our area know they can give feedback about their teachers at a wonderful site called ratemyteachers.com. Local college students can rate their professors at a similar […]
There is life before Digg, and then life after Digg
You say you want a revolution?
Something big is happening, and you will regret it the rest of your life if you fail to take notice and take part now. That’s a big statement, and I don’t normally make such bold claims. This is different, though.
The revolution is Digg.com, a social news site. What is social […]
Stall Conversation
I had barely sat down when I heard a voice from the other restroom stall ask, “Hi, how are you?”
I’m not the type to start a conversation in the men’s restroom, but I replied in an embarrassed voice, “Doing just fine!”
The other guy said: “So what are you up to?”
I thought it was bizarre, but […]
Links Collection Coralled
IdahoFallz.com may be struggling to develop some things, but our links collection is THE BEST. There is no other place on the web that you will find this complete a collection of Idaho-related links (excluding commercial/business interests-because we do sell advertising).
We have finally tweaked the code to display the Idaho link collection on a […]
Twenty Great-Paying Jobs That Don’t Require Degrees
It is important for many Idahoans to develop great-paying income creatively since most of us do not hold four-year college degrees. (Isn’t it ironic that Idaho is ranked about 36th in adults completing a university education and 37th in annual income-could there be a correlation there?)
I hope CNN’s list of the twenty best-paying jobs […]
Puerto Vallarta is dependably delicious
Whenever I want good Mexican food, I know I can depend on Sol Rio or Puerto Vallarta. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems Sol de Rio is a corporate franchise, while Puerto Vallarta is locally-owned? Please post a comment to correct me if I am wrong on that.
So last night the family wanted great Mexican […]
Idaho Falls needs more parks
I read that 80% of Boise city residents live within 1/2 mile of a city park. I wonder what percentage of Idaho Falls city residents live within 1/2 mile of a city park. I am sure it is nowhere close to 80%.
I encourage our new mayor Jared Fuhriman and the city council to […]
Firefox more secure than IE
Security update frequency is yet another reason to use Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer. A recent study found that Microsoft generally takes much longer to fix security holes in IE than the Mozilla foundation takes to fix security holes in Firefox. Over the past year, IE takes an average of 135 days to […]
Never a dull moment
A guy dies, goes to He[[, and is bummed out about being there. Satan walks up and tries to cheer him up.
“It’s not that bad down here,” says the devil. “Do you like drinking?”
“Yeah, I like drinking,” replies the guy.
“Well, you’re going to enjoy Monday nights down here. We have open bars and every […]
Geek sheik
Geeks appear to be ‘in’ more than ever (please don’t beat me up for saying that).
First, they are increasingly running the world and making all the money. Then there are reality shows where babes compete to date geeks. Now I’ve come across some top then lists explaining why geeks make good friends and the […]
What about tonight
…….So what’s about your night?. I mingled with self driven’ people that want more than they have, but enjoy all they are surrounded by. They sipped wine with friends, sat by the fire and in the constant background was nothing, but the beautiful sounds of laughter. I wonder what i […]
