I am sitting in BWI waiting for the last plane to Portland, and I am watching a man clean the terminal area. He may not be an Einstein, but he clearly cares about the appearance of this terminal and literally gets down on hands and knees to pick up scraps left by careless travelers. I have not seen this attention to detail outside of Disney World. I had to personally thank him for the good job he is doing, and I believe from his reaction that he doesn't hear that very often. If you read this and encounter a person doing a thankless job, thank them.

Adobe killed the Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox a few weeks ago, and I am learning about it now. I built many sites based on it and was very excited when CS4 compatibility was announced a couple of months ago. It was an easy to use, flexible platform that allowed me (and, I guess, not enough others!) to rapidly create membership and data driven sites.
I assume that the decision was economic, like so many others today. I wonder if we'll all have to become Flex Data Services customers now. As a Flex user, I found the ADDT to be a great way to create the backend for Flex apps, and now I'll have to either rewrite code modules or find another system for CS5.
Günter Schenk, thanks for all your insights over the years!
