Wow, just wow…

CNN says…

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) — Some California drivers are resorting to desperate measures to beat the surge in gas prices at the pump — deliberately running dry on the state’s freeways and simply waiting for rescue.

“Every time fuel goes up, we start noticing it. But right now we are noticing it a lot more,” Andy Lujan, owner of California Coach Towing in Orange County, said Tuesday.

Lujan’s 20 trucks roam the busy freeways of Orange and Los Angeles counties as part of a publicly funded patrol that gives a free gallon of gas to drivers who have run out of fuel. It also offers other basic assistance to drivers whose vehicles have broken down.

“You say to some of them ‘hey, you’ve run out of gas’ and they say ‘yeah, it’s too expensive.’ I think the percentage is going to increase,” Lujan said.

Gas prices in California, where the car is king, are some of the highest in the nation at more than $3 a gallon and rising.

Moshe Ben Dayan, whose TipTopTow company performs a similar service in Los Angeles’ affluent west side, said some people were taking advantage of the freeway service patrol.

“There was one guy a while back who was stopping every morning and trying to get his one free gallon,” said Dayan. “I think it is going to be more drastic when the price of gas is closer to $4 a gallon.”

I did an overhaul on my side site, mcdev.com last night.

I think it looks great and am feeling pretty proud of it right now.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.

FINALLY we are starting to see some standard compliant applciations coming from AJAX developers that can fully be exploited using the WEB 2.1

Thank you, Al Gore, for giving us this blessed gift.

Seriously.

There are no advantages to being proactive. It only leads to tears.

It’s much better to be REactive. That way people can see what a quick thinking man of action you are!

Being the hero who runs into a burning building and rescues a kitten is always better than being the person who installs fire alarms and sprinklers.

ineffective: not producing an intended effect; “an ineffective teacher”; “ineffective legislation”

futile: producing no result or effect; “a futile effort”; “the therapy was ineffectual”; “an otiose undertaking”; “an unavailing attempt”

ineffective: lacking in power or forcefulness; “an ineffectual ruler”; “like an unable phoenix in hot ashes”

We started this mess at 6pm EST Saturday night. As I write this, it is 9:30am and I have consumed approximately 129 cups of coffee and eaten half a pizza.

Allen has done about 12 hits of pure heroine though, so he’s slightly more functional than I at the moment.

Dear Microsoft:
Why do you make such a simple task so hard? Why not simply allow a store to dismount, replicate users, choose a new mdbdata folder, pop the files in and go?

Yours,
