Neal's Wiki Will & Testament

This one's a work in progress. Nevetheless, some quickies:

• Don't pull the plug if my brain's still active.
• If the above becomes a financial burden, pull the plug.
• When I'm dead, please donate my organs.
• I'm OK with cremation, burial, donating my body to science -- whatever's cheapest.
• If you bury me, I do NOT want an expensive coffin. Cheap, unpolished or unfinished wood. Like my Dad's.
• If you can avoid going through a funeral home for all the arrangements, please do. If you can't, then get the 'bare minimum.' No deluxe package for me!
• Please don't wear a suit to my memorial service unless you just feel like you have to. Jeans, t-shirts, sandals, baseball caps, shorts -- all these are preferable. Be comfortable.
• If you have to dress me up, at least put me in a bow-tie. One of my favorite ones.
• It would be awesome to play a few of my songs at my memorial service. Not that I'll know if you don't.
• If you bury or cremate me, toss in a copy of Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. It's not superstitious, just a nice symbolic touch.
• If it's financially possible and not a burden, please don't shut down my blogs, wikis, and other web presences. It might be the best way for my children (or grandchildren) to get to know me someday.
• Also, there's a lot of stuff on my thumbdrives and memory cards that is part of who I am.
• If you want to honor my memory:
  • Use Open Source Software. It's better anyhow.
  • Read a Book. Better yet, read a book to a child.
  • Give to the poor. Feed the Hungry. Care for the sick.
