Amber Alert

So I opened up IE tonite and was quite surprised to see this come up. It's an alert from the AMBER system, which is responsible for alerting the community anytime a child goes missing and is serious danger of harm. We're used to seeing them on the local channels or on the radio, but this is the first time I've seen one show up on the web from the local ISP.

Of course, it's not a requirement for the company to do this, but I think it's great that they do. And it's a pretty brilliant way of reaching many of us who don't watch much TV or listen to the radio. If you're in the Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky area, make sure to check it out, too: http://codeamber.org/collmanin/
