Religion Discussion
Part of the reason I created IdahoFallz.com was because I tired of the back-and-forth spewing from the Brad Stowell/Boy Scout controversy played out in the Post Register. I wanted to provide a place for people who felt the burning passion to debate the subject to continue their debates, while the rest of us could move [...]

Amateur Observations of Democratic Convention 1st Day
I arrived downtown about 1:20 PM for the Democratic convention being held in the Colonial Theater. I could immediately tell this was going to be a smaller and more informal affair than last week’s Republican convention.
The Republicans used logo-laden signs to direct attendees through Freeman Park and through the Student Union Building. The Democrats [...]
Idaho Falls Democratic Convention Today
Its finally arrived, and here’s my list of people I have questions for, and the questions I intend to ask. These were generated by myself and others visiting IdahoFallz.com. I will post my notes later today or tomorrow after I have gathered responses. Feel free to comment today with more questions if you want them [...]
Walking Dads of Idaho Falls June 25th
Walking Dads of Idaho Falls invites dads living in or visiting the Idaho Falls area to get their kids out and exercise a little, and give moms a little break also. Dads can be a hero three ways by doing this.
There is no registration, no fees, no agenda; just dads relaxing and bonding with [...]
Idaho Falls Libarary could use line corrals
Normally I do not see long lines at our public library, however I also avoid crowds and visit during off-peak hours. I have previously suggested they create self-checkout stands, but I would suggest one other minor thing to control lines: line corrals.
I saw line corrals used effectively at the Boise public library. They are basically [...]
Kudos to Idaho Falls media in clearing reputation
It was nice to see two local news media, the Post Register and KIFI TV 8, prominently report that Idaho Falls airport director Mike Humberd was cleared of any wrongdoing in a sexual harrassment investigation. The investigation was widely reported when it first broke, but rarely do media follow up with findings of innocence, especially [...]
Six Free Downloads To Protect Your PC
I wrote last winter about six free software downloads that I use on new or reinstalled computers (Fortify New Computers Against Internet Evils), but I thought I’d summarize them again because so many people ask about the subject. We may even list them in the sidebar permanently.
These six downloads are free and keep your computer [...]
Made in Idaho Falls
I was watching the John Ratzenberger-hosted show “Made in America”, on the Travel Channel the other day when I realized Idaho and/or Idaho Falls could have a show like that, but focused on products made in our area.
I don’t think writing about and photographing our local manufacturer’s would convey the same impact as video, so [...]
Seanelle Hanson shares lemonade
What an inspiration Seanelle Hanson is to our community! As the Post Register reported, her teen son Zakk drowned in our stretch of the Snake River last summer. Rather than lose herself in pity, she fundraised $50,000 for three county search and rescue teams. That is a lot of money! Apparently the rescuers searched for [...]
