FOR THE 2ND SEASON RUNNING PALM SPRINGS WALKS ARE HOT!
Palm Springs Walks is gearing up for the start of their second season offering guided walking tours of the city's historic downtown district. Palm Springs has been a gathering place for eclectic and artistic souls for decades.
The two-hour, one-mile leisurely walks tell the stories of pioneers like Nellie Coffman, who started the legendary Desert Inn in 1909; architects like Stewart Williams and Albert Frey who specialized in the Palm Springs Modern style found in many local homes and businesses alike; and, of course, the many celebrities who sought the sun and fun of a city so close to the studios that they could almost commute to work.
Highlights include the bed and breakfast where legendary lovers Gable and Lombard spent their honeymoon, the hideaway inn where they stayed before their marriage and the Plaza Theatre, winter home to Jack Benny's radio hour and now the site of the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies.
You'll hear stories about the Courtship of Harpo Marx, the legend of the Tahquitz witch and how a divorced beat singer named Sonny Bono ended up a Republican in the State Senate. If you've always wondered what drew so many diverse characters to this oasis in the desert, come walk with us!
Walks start on the weekend of October 5th. The Winter Rate is $20 per person with walks leaving at 10:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. For more information or to make your reservation go to http://www.PalmSpringsWalks.com or call (760) 341-2048.

Career-Op: Not without you
by Douglas E. Welch, ComputorEdge Magazine
The high-tech career market is a rough place to be right now. There is no denying it. Jobs are scarce and those that are mainly entry-level or low-paying contract jobs. Tech workers who were making six figure salaries are now scraping by, trying to pull together enough clients and projects to stay afloat. It may seem that the bottom has dropped out of the high-tech market, but there is hope. Regardless of how much money is spent on flashy technology, it is worthless without you. Technology does nothing but sit in a corner until you and your skills make it do something amazing. Don’t let the hard times get you down.
