"Water to Ease, Wine to Please"

Thought this room divider at La Sandia restaurant was timely heading into a holiday weekend. Fun little detail I love to discover in restaurants and/or retail spaces ... especially chains! BTW, the food is very good and not the enormous-portion, greasy kind you might be used to.

Punch the Pig!

Yep, that's right. A wall-sized, interactive game offered by PNC bank. It appears to be related to their online feature (a pig icon) that encourages you to transfer money to a savings account whenever you're on their site. One-click functionality, I'd guess.

The wall is located on the upper level of the Tysons Corner Center shopping mall. More on the installation.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Putzmeister?

Does anyone else think this is hilarious? I spotted this truck in traffic near me and found the name, Putzmeister, hilarious. It's a real company - Putzmeister. I'm sure this was named after someone hardworking and industrious, but the slang association made me snicker.
