allows you to create a "search" for someone you lost
touch with. That "search" is then indexed by Google and
other search engines. Then when that person you
are looking for (or someone who knows them) does a "Vanity

on Google... we know you do it!) they find your "search" and
can respond to you and reconnect.

The Ides of March (March 14, 2007)
In the Roman
calendar, the Ides
of March fell on the 15th
day of the Roman month of Martius. The date is famous
because Julius
Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, 44
BC. Because of Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar
and its line "Beware the Ides of March", the term
possesses a foreboding of doom.
Contemporarily speaking, although the term Ides had
real meaning only in the Roman Calendar, which had
just been displaced by the Julian Calendar, the term "Ides" was still used in a vernacular
sense for centuries afterwards to denote the middle
of the month.

who remain firmly committed to the project and its aims
to this day.
Fifty percent of all net revenue raised by the New 7
Wonders Project is to be used to fund restoration efforts

411 Calls on Your Cell (March 8, 2007)
Cell phone companies are charging us
$1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when
they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone
directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation
even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411
information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800)
373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program
this into your cell phone now.
Keep Your Serial Number (March 6, 2007)
To check your cell phone's serial number,
key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number
is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe. When your phone gets stolen, you can
phone your service provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset so even
if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be
totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least
you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in people
stealing mobile phones.
