I Got Gas, And It Pains Me

Holy schmoly, I experienced it first hand today. So gas prices are rocketing faster than you can say antidisestablishmentterrianism. Whoa nelly, I had to instigate for the first time a personal monetary cap of $35 schmackaroonies today, hoping just hoping it would stop before then while filling up my tank all the way. No such fortune. $2.97/gal for premium where I am. I guess that's really good, still sub-$3.00 compared to the age 3 and up crowd. Some places are reportedly at the $6 a gallon. That's a buffet dinner where I come from! Sheesh. Any more money spent on my gas today I would started bawling profusely at the shell station, watching my funds slowly but surely getting liquidated ito petroleum only to be burned away into the ether, one once at a time, disappearing forever. And that's not even filling my tank up all the way, almost hit my Full mark but just doesn't quite make the cut. Not quite. So I think I'll be taking less road trips needless to say.

I really hope this gets taken care of. How bout cars that run on solar powered energy. Maybe we should revisit again. Or a Segway for everyone. That'd be a sight. Maybe I'll dig out my skateboard. Wait, I was never a skater. Or poser. Never wore Vans. So 80's. I'm remembering my youth now. Thanks for reminding me. Or not. Maybe they can invent the Hoverboard later on, you know that I wouldn't mind getting. You know, the one Marty McFly had. Now that was before its time and was way cool. The stainless steel car that was the Delorean. Mr. Fusion. Awesome. You know I think I'm digressing. A car that could run on trash. Now that would be something wouldn't it. Throw in that old banana peel. Empty SPAM can. Old chicken bones. Let's work on the alternative energy folks. Mind my ignorance if we already have some working prototypes out there. Hybrids are cool. Go Hybrids. So anyways, I really hope the powers that be fix this for the rest of us. There's always breaking out the ol' bicycle which I haven't touched since college. Perish the thought. Schwinn, lose or draw. Peace.

Per your article , with top-down, VC-created open source companies, I think the issue people are still waiting to see play out is whether or not money and the use of open source as a distribution and marketing ...
