Car won't start

So,

I'm finally home for the first time in months...
Drove the car this morning, it was fine.. my folks drove it this afternoon to work and it no longer starts; no symptoms during the drive...

The facts:
- It will fire, rise to 1500 rpm and die (no matter if you open the throttle or not)
- Gas gauge shows 0; was just below half prior to shut down
- Radio does not work
- No theft light on
- Lights/Windows/Etc. all work
- HVAC works
- Fuel pump primes
- My aeroforce gauge no longer reads from the OBD2; simply lights up and stays that way, I'll try a conventional OBD2 scanner tomorrow..

So far through discussions with others I'm going to start this way:
- Check all fuses
- Check grounds
- Test alternator
- Shoot myself because electrical problems suck

2001 Malibu 3100 V6

Thoughts?
