Unopened rebate requests found in San Jose dumpster

http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_6814729

...I am staring at more than 1,300 rebate requests sent to Vastech on Bonaventura Drive in San Jose. The envelopes were tossed - unopened - into a garbage dumpster near Vastech. I have two boxes of envelopes that were thrown out without being processed. In all of my years of reporting, I have never encountered such outrageous behavior against consumers.

Come on, isn't that where we imagine EVERY rebate mail in request ends up? I hate mail in rebates and it's gotten to the point where I won't even figure them into the price of something I'm buying because half the time they never show up or get wrongly denied.

Cheney on Iraq: "Quagmire"

Even though it was 1994, he got it pretty much spot on:

Bill Walsh 1931 - 2007

Uh oh, first Ingmar Bergman, now Bill Walsh. Don't these things always come in threes?

RIP Ingmar Bergman

Filmmaker Ingmar Bergman passed away at the age of 89.

I read that he was really scared of death when he made The Seventh Seal. That's probably a large part of why it remains such a powerful film, even 20 years later. Playing chess with Death. How often has that premise been ripped off?

Revisiting Washington (Guidebook)

This is really cool. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation has taken a guidebook of Washington State from 1941 and revisited all the tours and tips in it and updated it for the 21st century.



They've added video clips from the era, radio broadcasts and plenty of photos from the times along with modern updates such as GPS coordinates and PDF printouts of routes.

It's pretty interesting to see what's become of some of the highlights after 50 years.

Best of all, Revisiting Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State is being released for free on CD (available at most state museums) and free download (PC only).

This should be great for discovering the back country roads for motorcycle trips around the state.
