Yes, they are fun to watch. My 17 yr old son and his friend did a great one involving his truck. While noboby had \"nominated\" me, I had been thinking about pro-actively taking the challenge and calling people out. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that while a wildly successful fundraiser for the ALS Association, the challenge has taken on a life of its own and now seems to as much about the person taking the challenge as it is about fundraising. I didn't want to be just another person saying, \"Look at me.\" I've read a number of articles and commentaries about this challenge, many lamenting that the challenge is overshadowing the cause. Don't get me wrong, I applaud everyone who took the challenge and especially those who contributed financially as well. But at this point I think the meme is at its end.<\/p>\n<p>So, I decided to simply make a $100 donation to the ALS Association. Primarily because I believe in their cause. I have known a few families devastated by this disease so my inspiration is them and not some artificial need to feel like I belong to a special club. The reason I am even posting this is because even though I am skipping the ice,<strong> I am still issuing a challenge to the PowerShell community to step up and join me<\/strong>. If you want to do the ice bucket thing and get specific people involved, then by all means do so. But the true aim of this challenge, which I don't want to get lost, is to raise money for a worthy cause.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the association and make an online donation at <a title=\"Learn more about the ALS Association\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alsa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.alsa.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like the rest of the Internet I&#8217;ve been watching the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
