From a commercial on TV...
Voiceover: "Get 2 free downloads with every specially marked package of Heineken. No purchase necessary."
Ok, I'm sure it must be explained better on their website but that's some pretty incredibly stupid wording. Because it seems to suggest that it's ok to open the packages in the store to get the codes out.
On the other hand, Mitsubishi has another commercial on TV where a Mitsubishi and some other car compete in a 70-to-0 braking test at the edge of an unfinished bridge. You have to go to http://www.seewhathappens.com see the whole thing. Not as groundbreaking as the Superbowl ad, but still pretty cool. I hope they do more.

No More Sig
The guy who invented the Sigalert died today. In tribute, I am proposing no SigAlerts all next week. Instead, anything that would normally cause a lane closure should be pushed to the shoulder and then down an embankment so as to prevent lane closures.

Jim Joseph Palmateer (10/22/52 - 5/30/04)
I just learned that my uncle (my mom's brother) passed away last night.
He was born with a hole in his heart and was mentally retarded and the doctors estimated that he would probably on live about three years.
But he lived much longer, holding jobs, dating, going on amazing vacation trips designed for people with handicaps to far-off locations I'll never probably never get to see. And he had lots of love. Love from Jesus and love from his family.
But recently, the world he lived in became a scary place he was unable to deal with. My family feared the worst and he was moved to a hospice where he could get more direct care. This, too, may have contributed to his fear and disorientation.
But last night, his word stopped being a scary place when Jesus welcomed him home, with my grandfather who went ahead of him a few years ago no doubt standing right beside Him.
Please remember my family in prayer as we celebrate Uncle Jim's life. He was 51.
