Welcome to...
Home page of Jim Padykula
Why "Jimfo"? Kind of like "Jimbo", kind of like "Jim Info", ..."Jimfo"! (...actually, all the good domain names were already taken).
I started Jimfo.com in 1997 mainly to share my interest in photography, vent about politics, or post just about anything when inspired. I had so much success removing the HOV lanes in 1998 (...OK, thousands of other angry citizens helped a little too) I decided to try for something a little harder: Removing Parkway tolls (www.EndTolls.com).
But aside from the politics, I hope you find something fun. If you get lost, clicking on the logo in the upper left will bring you back here. Enjoy!
