Weight Loss Struggles: Motivation and Methods
I grew up very skinny, bulked up some from military training, bulked up a good bit more in the first six months of marriage (and good cooking), but in the last year I actually developed a little pot belly.
It took awhile for me to admit I was starting to get fat. I had always […]
Misconduct Charges Part 2: Idaho Falls Media Fail to Report
This is the second follow-up part to Misconduct Charges Part 1: Police, Prosecutors, and a Judge Accused.
I know our local Idaho Falls media are human and not perfect, and I think they generally try to do the best job they humanly can. I think they get beat up a lot for invalid reasons, but […]

American businesses have a serious problem knowing when to let go of a dead contact. Businesses waste too much money each year marketing to people who are not only dead, but have been dead for several years. I read one story of a parent who lost their child at five years old, then began receiving […]
Conversation with Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman

Seen any good movies lately?
I had thought before of starting a movie discussion thread, and have had some recent requests for it so here we go.
In case you have not used these sources before, I find the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) and Wikipedia are great resources for learning about movies. IMDB is great for quickly finding the movie […]
SiteMeter-SpecificClick Cookie Discovery Prompts Cancellations and Cleanups
While creating another unrelated website, I considered if I wanted to use the SiteMeter service for tracking visits and visitor statistics. I had not considered the question for a long time, and so I Googled “sitemeter sucks”, a strategy I use to find criticism of a product or service.
Apparently SiteMeter is now serving third-party […]
