No, I am not working for a Radio Station again, but I did call and win tickets to a Kenny Rogers concert at Winstar World Casinos by calling 99.5 The Wolf. I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers music in the back seat of the car — my father loved his music, so I thought this would be a cake walk. The contest is easy — they play part of the song, and you have to sing the rest of the line. I had to get 3 right to win. I tried calling for about 10 minutes before I got through. They started the call by telling me that many have tried but they have not gotten a winner yet. Then, we did the contest — and I did it!! They only played two of the songs on the air, because I am sure they couldn’t take anymore. Below is the audio from the radio. The quality is not great because I recorded it from my car speaker through my iPhone. Enjoy :)

99.5 The Wolf – Kenny Rogers Ticket Giveaway

On my way home from work this evening, I had a thought. As the light turned green, I rounded the corner and passed through the next light at the other side of the intersection. I approached the next light (at Legacy and Eldorado) and just out of my reach the light started to turn from green to yellow. Tonight there was an overcast and it was misting. On a typical night when it’s clear, I am running this same section of road at +5 to +7 over the speed limit, and the the same light begins to change when I am much closer making it very easy to get through.

What does this teach me? I need to drive faster — just slightly over the speed limit — to make the light. So, my thought: “Do stop light signals based on traffic pattern encourage people to run red lights?”

Is this thing still on? Sibilance, Sibilance. I really just need to make sure this thing still works. I updated to a cool new design and plan on trying to put more stuff on here and rely less on Facebook, since there are so many still refusing to embrace the Social Media platform. I also prefer to have more control over content.

More come soon.

I found a cool new service today — Google Voice. Check it out at http://www.google.com/voice
