I like those rings…
My half-week review of my new Palm Pre Plus
Holy fuck! This phone is WAY better than my iPhone was. Everything is just so fluid, and the integration, via Synergy, is incredible. My only complaint so far is the low number of available apps, and even then, I am only missing one or two that I want.
…if the pedal is stuck in a depressed position, here is what the driver can do, according to Omar Panjshiri, a certified Toyota technician at the Chantilly Repair Center in Chantilly, Virginia:
• Shift the transmission to neutral
• Turn off the ignition switch
• Apply the brakes and pull over
With the engine cut off, “you will lose some power steering assist, but you will still be able to steer the vehicle to a safe stopping position,” Panjshiri said. <link>

Good information even if you don’t drive a Toyota. This happened to me in my 2004 Honda Civic a few times. I finally figured out it was the floor mat that was jamming up the gas pedal. I fortunately was quick thinking and pulled my emergency brake. I’m also very aware of the floor mats in my vehicles now.

I once had a similar problem in a Fusion I was test driving. The pedal got matted to the floor, because my boot got stuck between the pedal and the bottom of the console. I just steered a lot, didn’t hit anyone, and lit up the tires. It is not the correct way to handle the situation, I admit, but it was fun, and quite showy!
Good night
Today was filled with lots of things that I did’t want to do, but had to. To sum up:
Mom, I love you and I miss you. Happy birthday.
Adrienne, I am sorry. I have waited and tried for you. I don’t think I can keep going, so I told you to leave. It hurts, but I can’t keep waiting for you to fix your problems. I’m just sorry.
I don’t really manage to keep it to one subject tonight, but I do touch on the most important thing I can think of.
Weird.
I really do spend a lot of time looking at the stats for my web page. Today, someone from Pennsylvania hit my page after a bing search for, get this, “cartoon hotties.”
I honestly cannot think of anything I have posted that would match that search.
