NON-PROFIT HELP

http://www.techsoup.org/

A Web site designed specifically for non-profit groups who are looking for a little tech expertise. Groups can access information on setting up a Web site and sort through tips on keeping the site running. There is also a commerce section where software and hardware are available at a discounted price for not-for-profit organizations.

BACKGROUND CHECK

http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs16-bck.htm

If you find a new job, there's a good chance you'll need to pass a drug test and background check before your first day at the new gig. But what are the ground rules for employer background checks? Privacyrights.org tells you what employers can and can't find out.

SOUNDBOARDS

http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/soundboards.html

Need a little Homer Simpson to make your day? Maybe you want to call your older brother and get him back for those earlier years of bullying with some well-timed yelling from Mr. T, as in, "This is dirt, fool, which I'm gonna stuff in you're face if you don't shut up." Either way, check out the soundboad collection on newgrounds.com for some unique pop culture sound files.

====

ONLINE ATTRACTIONS

http://googlesightseeing.com

If those summer plans to see the country didn't pan out like you'd hoped, check out this touristy site, which collects Google's overhead maps of numerous attractions across the country. OK, it's not quite the same as being there, but considering today's gas prices, at least you're not mortgaging the house to fund your trip.

BETTER DIGITAL PHOTOS

http://www.shortcourses.com/using/index.htm

Everyone could use some advice when it comes to taking photos, so are a few tips on digital cameras from shortcourses.com. You'll learn how to create captivating and clear images that will stand the test of time - or at least improve upon the blurry collection from last year's trip to the Grand Canyon.
