Force Popups to Behave in Firefox
We are all familiar with clicking on a link and it opens in a new browser window instead of in the same window. This is an intentional design by the webpage designer, and you may notice that IdahoFallz.com uses it on most of our links going to external sites.
The problem with this is [...]
Perverted-Justice.com Nabbed Idaho Falls Pervert
Here’s a heart-warming Valentine’s Day story. It involves an Idaho Falls guy who used his boss’ Internet connection to prey on underage girls for sex. Fortunately for our society, a proactive website exists that exposes these jerks. The site is perverted-justice.com, and they have even been featured on NBC’s Dateline for their effectiveness against sexual [...]
Firefox is what’s happening now on the web

New neighborhood streets to educate
Unless I’ve missed it, Idaho Falls seems to be lacking very many streets named after U.S. presidents. There appears to be no Arthur, Buchanan, Bush (Sr. or Jr.), Carter, Clinton, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Fillmore, Ford, Grant, Harrison (Ben or William), Hayes, Hoover, Kennedy, McKinley, Monroe, Pierce, Polk, Roosevelt, Taft, Truman, Tyler, or Van Buren. Whether you [...]

Idaho Farm Fields Can Be Satellite Billboards
Word has been going around the net recently about businesses advertising on large rooftops (whether painted or large tarps) in an effort for those ads to be captured by satellite and being displayed to millions via Google Maps. Now it looks like someone decided to put a large swear word in a farm field, for [...]
To save a chicken is divine?
A recent comment was made questioning how progressive Idaho Falls was, and I thought this story certainly distinguishes us from how backwards some parts of America are.
