Looks like the NorthEast is gonna be a mess tonight. I'm glad I'm in Florida.

I'm still blacked out here... luckily here at work we are in a small pocket of power.

Some areas are expected to be without power for the entire weekend. Currently Toronto is running on about 2/3 of the power it needs. We are wating for the nukes to warm up and start generating, to bring us back to normal. It takes 2-3 days to start up a nuke from cold, get it synchronized and attached to the grid.

I was trying on a tux for a wedding I'm in this weekend, when... YIKES! Who turned out the lights!?

Fortunately, no one could see me laying on the floor with my pants around my ankles.

I wonder if Dell is in charge of the north east power supply.
