This is a rendering, via Google Earth, of the track I drove up Mt. Haleakala in Maui earlier this year. So far, I've been absolutely impressed with the Garmin GPSMAP 60csx, and having the ability to export the data from a drive or hike out to Google Earth is a great bonus when you get home. I've just added the new road and city data to the Garmin (I was able to fit about 90% of the data for the entire United States onto the 1 GB mini-SD card installed in the unit -- sorry, Idaho and Iowa -- and being able to carry all of the US and Canada would only require the puchase of another $40 memory card.) There's a few more renderings up on Flickr -- I also intend to post the drive to Hana some time soon.
The recent Gatorade "Big Head" commercial has to be one of my favorite television ads in a long time. It's a great little set piece (I suspect it's a one timer and not a long-term campaign), with a lighter attitude than their previous efforts. A nice little reminder for all the adults about everyone started out playing the game.
(A detail I didn't notice on the first viewing was fastpitch softballer Jennie Finch's remark -- "why don't you throw it underhand?" Nice.)
All day, baby, all day.
