I encountered this collection of weblogs all concerned with .NET - by developers who actually use .NET for day to day work.
And it's just great, since they write funny and insightfull (well some of them do:-)

You can find the blogs main page (all the others are reachable from it as well) here: http://dotnetweblogs.com/

Last night I watched a show on TV (in Israel) talking about the catasrophic state of traffic accidents in Israel, and what we can do to put a stop to it.

The show went on explaining that the main cause for accidents in Israel is hutzpa (hebrew word for audacity). This means that the accidents in Israel happen because of a mentality thing. People just don't give a damn about traffic laws and go ahead and do what the want...

Police is unable to do (almost) anything about it since it is very hard (apparently) for them to enforce some of these laws - such as going over a white line, reckless driving etc. so they focus on speed which is easy to catch...

The point of the show was that we as citizens are the only ones who can make a difference, by taking a camera (video/stills) and recording traffic offenders, and submitting a citizens complaint at the nearest police station... This way we can put "fear of god" into these drivers.
