If I were a salaried employee someplace I'd be telling the boss he couldn't live with WPFonRailsInACloud and I had to attend at least four conferences in Florida and Las Vegas this year in order to keep up with this latest essential technology. <s>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
