And can someone elaborate a bit more on how I send a small tx with a message to the miner who mined that block... My understanding of bitcoin says that is nearly impossible but I am no expert..

No need to send a tx, just sign a message from your client. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S88ciN9DsRk

edit: if you mean sending a message embedded in a tx: http://www.righto.com/2014/02/ascii-bernanke-wikileaks-photographs.html (scroll down for How to) or http://www.cryptograffiti.info/#about

That doesn't necessarily mean they will read it though.

I think the most effective way to do this would be to send via blockchain.info and include a public message. It can only be seen on blockchain.info but most people use their block explorer and other ways are difficult to read unless you really know what you are doing.
