10 Quick Tips

It's been a busy summer around here (as you can tell by the lack of posts recently) but here are some things that have been rattling around my favorites list...

1. If you are a senior and haven't got your Lifetime National Parks Pass, do it now while the cost is still $10.  In August the cost of the pass will go up to $80!
2. If you know kids in your community who rely on the free meal program at their school for sustenance, here is a link to find local summer meal programs in the community.
3. Have ideas for ways to address some of the world's most pressing problems?  Here is a contest that will pay you $25,000 to do just that.
4. While I think that seeking legal answers online is iffy at best, here is a website that provides free legal answers courtesy of the ABA.
5. Some cool/useful apps I've recently come across: AskRail, PulsePoint, and GoodSAM
6. The National Preppers and Survivalists Expo will be held December 1 and 2 in Jacksonville, FL.
7. DEFCON is coming up at the end of the month.  If you can't make it, their website has a trove of useful hacking info on it.
8. One webpage you should definitely keep on your favorites list: AllTop Survival
9. Bored?  Online?  Like to solve mysteries?  Here are the sites web sleuths use to solve cold cases: Doe Network, Web Sleuths, NamUs, ViCAP, ClaimUs, IdentifyUs
