Spanish Fork Portal Launch Brian Sweeting just announced the launch of the new Spanish Fork City portal site.  He's done a great job at putting it together and given a lot of consideration to the user interface.  I'll try to make sure that we give it some play on the Utah.gov site.  I'd like to see all towns the size of Spanish Fork put this kind of effort into their eGov presence. 5:35:56 PM    comment []

Buy Savings Bonds Online The New York Times mentions that the Treasury is planning to require that all savings bond purchases be made online.  They are also encouraging that existing bond-holders convert existing bonds into an internet account.  According to the Treasury's Peter Fisher, “Our goal is to transform the savings bond program from one based on paper certificates to accounts accessed safely, and conveniently over the Internet.”  I went to treasurydirect.gov to set up an account and try purchasing an EE bond online ($25 minimum), but the application wasn't working.  I'll try again later.  In the past, I have purchased bonds through a regular payroll deduction.  This is another great option. 6:43:34 AM    comment []
