An Unexpected Day Offline

We did have some plans yesterday, but I fully expected to be able to spend some time online getting some things done during the afternoon before heading to a party.

Unfortunately, fate had a different plan, this was the scene about 2 blocks from our house, and was also the cause of our power being cut all day, and our internet/cable service being out until this morning.

Of course, while it was inconvenient for use, especially with no heat flowing through the house, that’s nothing compared to the conditions those firefighters had to work in, not to mention the damage that was done to at least six, and I suspect more than that, businesses.

Angela was actually on site before I got home and thus, has more pictures, including the view from our back door!

    Time for a special announcement, something I’ve been pondering for quite some time now. When I first started doing this site, and paying for hosting last year, I thought I would create Amazon Associate links and the CafePress store, and maybe, just maybe, some folks would make some purchases and help take care of some…

    Linked – Using Law Against Technology

    “It’s one aspect of a tech policy problem that has been plaguing us for at least 25 years: technologists and policymakers don’t understand each other, and they inflict damage on society because of that. But it’s worse today. The speed of technological progress makes it worse. And the types of technology­ — especially the current…

    Thank you notes

    I found this post over at the Manager Tools this morning about the practice of sending thank you notes dying and I had to say I was interested. I have to admit something. Before I met Angela, I never wrote thank you notes. Not for birthday gifts, or at Christmas, or for anything really. In…
