Beware of Internet Explorer security holes
Stop using Internet Explorer for browsing! Stop right now, at least for the next few weeks, if not forever!
The reason is a major security hole that allows hackers to execute harmful code in your computer. This code is being found on numerous websites, including normally safe sites like ticket-booking or insurance sites. The reason is […]
Why am I so tired?
For a couple years I’ve been blaming it on lack of
sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job, earwax build-up, poor blood pressure or anything else I could think of.  Â
But now I found out the real reason I’m tired:  Â
I’m overworked.
The population of this country is 273 million.
140 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do […]
Peter Park Graffiti
Someone should check and see if Sportsman’s Park (a.k.a. Peter Park due to the high incidence of perverts) still has this or any similar bathroom graffiti. From thewritingonthestall.com:
Sportsmans’ Park Restrooms
Idaho Falls, ID 83404
Men’s restroom, 1st floor
For a good conversation, meet here at 2:50pm on July 10.
Look for a maroon van.
Known locally as “Peter Park” because […]
The Repairman who tried to shag me
I recently had an experience with a repairman who crossed the line. The details of this story are going to be vague as I have since filed a complaint with his company and don’t want anything to jeopardize the integrity of my statement and/or any future legal situation. Let me lay out the scenario for you.
On a rainy day […]
Grand Theft Auto Idaho Falls
Awhile ago, I challenged anyone to build a Sim-city model of Idaho Falls. Now I challenge someone to build a virtual model of Idaho Falls that can be used in video games, like first-person shooters. Imagine building the virtual model of Idaho Falls, then programming your own video game like Grand Theft Auto where you […]
Idaho Falls Science Fair
The Museum of Idaho’s INL exhibit emphasized how much knowledge has existed at our beloved nuclear site. I wondered how much of that knowledge has transferred from the scientists, engineers, and medical professionals to our community, and especially to our local educational opportunities.
I propose an Idaho Falls science fair, open to all 6 local high […]
Coming Of Age
What does “Coming of age” really mean? Some feel age is a state of mind , if you do not feel old therefore you are not. I believe coming of age is a state of education, if you will. A growing and learning experience. Although I have so much in life to learn , […]
Kimball Mason deserves prison, but LONG jail time would suffice
Our previously-esteemed city prosecutor, Kimball Mason, has finally admitted he stole items from the Idaho Falls police evidence room for his own personal gain. He also admitted he forged documents sometimes to get those items. An investigation has found he committed these crimes numerous times, he admits he did it numerous times, and yet he […]
Idaho Falls Magazine “Professionals” Are Paid Advertisers
A buddy recently suggested I look at the spring 2006 issue of our wonderful Idaho Falls magazine, saying they had a new “Professional Insight” section that may appeal to me. Apparently this “Professional Insight” is supposedly a set of ten professionals who will write monthly articles for the Idaho Falls magazine website. I was encouraged […]
Idaho Falls teens on Myspace: sexy pics, drunken brags, and phone numbers
Myspace has been making several headlines lately, and our own Local News 8 tried a surface-level report recently.
I had always ignored Myspace until the nationwide reports started surfing. Mass media news mostly focuses on scare stories, but Myspace.com has become one of the top 10 Internet sites and was recently bought out by Rupert Murdoch’s […]
Find sex-offenders in your neighborhood
We linked to this a long time ago, but after seeing a sex offender from my neighborhood in the public library Saturday I thought I would post it up front.
Mapsexoffenders.com allows you to punch in your zip code, and the little red baloons represent the locations of all registered sex offenders in your neighborhood. You […]
Sonic shakes good but sloppy
I cannot stomach Sonic food, but the shakes are great for the kids. When you pull up to the drive-thru order station, they always acknowledge you then ask you to wait (at least at the west 17th street location). This used to annoy me, but then I realized at least they acknowledge you are there […]
