- I’m not a fan of those Volkswagen commercials where people are hitting one another in the arm when a VW happens to pass by . . . isn’t the game when a VW Bug is spotted, not just any Volkswagen?
- A friend, a mother of three, provides touching details of what it’s like from morning to evening on a chemo treatment day – very worth the read.
- AOL has a cool little feature where they send their Mystery Flyer to fly on randomly selected flights of ten airlines and ranks their performance based on six areas of customer service. Here’s’ their critique of Southwest.
- If you played the game NBA Jam, then you will be familiar with the voice of Tim Kitzrow, who announced the original game. It turns out Electronic Arts is bringing back the game this fall with Kitzrow back as the announcer, and I hear there will even be a Bird/Magic option.

Gosh, I wonder how many homeless you could feed, how many orphans you could rescue, or how many prisoners you could minister to for $85,000,000?
I predict in another generation cemetery burials will be expensive, irrelevant and rarely used.
The Shia Labeouf article was very interesting. I was very disappointed in the last Indiana Jones movie. LaBeouf’s character came across as annoying; the action scenes appeared to have been borrowed from other movies; and Harrison Ford should have lost some weight prior to filming. There were shots in which Ford was running in the manner of a sixty year old man and then, as the shot continued from a different angle, a young stunt double completed the action by flying through the air and on to a moving vehicle. The credibility issue wasn’t that they were using a stunt man, it was that Ford double did not match the elderly man he was portraying. The jump-the-shark scene, though, was when Jones climbed into a refrigerator; was propelled, by a nuclear blast, miles through the air; and simply climbed out of the refrigerator and walked away. I have to wonder how much LaBoef’s honesty about Speilberg’s mistakes in directing will hurt his own future.
Getting that "slug bug" game going again for any model of Volkswagon would be an incredible marketing tool.
