I am proud of myself today

This afternoon my college classmate called me on MSN and asked if I had any ideas that can help with the current rescue work in Sichuan. He told me that he had connections so my ideas can be actually passed to people on the frontier. I supplied mine: to use truck tire tubes or air bags and either compressed air cans or even manual pumps to elate them underneath the fallen concretes for gradual lifting. I knew some basic facts about tires and I did ballpark calculations to find this idea actually quite feasible.

Later this evening when I got back on MSN my classmate told me that his connection thought highly of my idea and it was already passed to the people in charge.

I literally burst into tears, for that my ideas might be able to actually save lives. I never felt so proud of myself.

Update on May 19, I am really really happy today:
