Free Entry into Mt Rainier National Park this weekend

Mount Rainier National Park is waiving its entrance fees this weekend, June 5th and 6th, as well as on August 14th and 15th, and September 25th, and November 11th.

For those of you who have never been, now's a great time to check it out!

I can't seem to find any information about it on the National Park website (nps.gov), but I read about it on King5.com.

Google Places - Cool Honor to Get

Google sent us this package saying we're one of 250,000 "Favorite Places" on their search engine. At first, that sounded like a ton of businesses, which it is, but when you think of how many websites there are in the world, it's a pretty high honor to get.

Anyway, now to find somewhere to put this sticker. And I'm starting to see these barcodes all over the place. They're supposed to be read by your smartphones (Blackberry / iPhones / etc) as some kind of digital business card.

Now, I own a Blackberry but I guess I have to install some reader before it can recognize these. Seems like keeping up with technology is a full time job. Something new is ALWAYS popping up.

In the meantime, thanks Google for the recognition! If it weren't for search engines, our business wouldn't be where it is today.
