The Huntington Park police department is on 155.790. My sub-micro handheld scanner can pick them up at my house in Palos Verdes – 38 miles away!

I love seeing those Amber Alerts flash on those message boards along the freeways. They make me feel like a detective. Today for example, there was one looking for a Florida motorhome. I saw that and I was like “NO PROBLEM CALIFORNIA DRIVERS! OFFICER BRETT IS ON THE CASE!” I did not see the motorhome.

If you’re looking for a good resource of local scanner frequencies, CityFreq.com is probably your best bet.

Having trouble installing the Photoshop 7.0.1 update? This will make it easy!

If you’re running multiple monitors in Windows, you need to install UltraMon. Among other things it – extends the taskbar onto more than one screen – stretches your wallpaper to fill as many screens as you’d like – lets you define screensavers for each display

By body’s achy all over today. I think I’m coming down with something. You know what would help right now? A back rub. Maybe I can convince my bosses to buy me a massage chair for the office! Like in that one episode of News Radio!

If I was a millionaire and didn’t have to worry about money, I’d probably try to get one of these jobs.
