Electricity, in the absence of cable and internet, is a cruel mistress...

At least it gives you light so you can read one of those ...paper things, with...pages, like...what did they call those things.....

It would be nice to keep the internet though I hear there will be emergency porn kiosks set up by the Army National Guard later for those stranded and having to use their imaginations to masturbate.

If I could safely search for an image at work from that South Park episode where they set up a puppet show for just such an occurance... I would.

I used one of those things once and a ghost was in there and it slimed me. The guys running it gave me a hard time about the mess and wouldn't let me back in there. Not my fault that they have ghosts.

I don't think smugness really applies in this case. I have been known to refer to it as my "iThing", having forgotten what it was actually called.

I was referring to the culture of Apple and not directly to you.

Well then smug up a bit. You never need to charge it if you can muster some disdain for commoners with ordinary feature phones.

Man that was FUNNY. Even funnier was when Randy Marsh snuck in and got on one of the few terminals with 'real' Internet access and wound up covered with... 'ectoplasm'.

I was just thinking about this. No where near the storm, this time, but here in Colorado we get our share. I didn't get it for that reason, but I just ordered one of these:

Tuns my Droid into a netbook kinda thing and uses the phone's 4G connection. And it has a battery that's supposed to last 5 hours. So, theoretically, I could have no power but still have interwebs.

Can't wait for it to come!

So long as your connection to the interweb has power.

Looking for something like this that's Apple friendly.

Yes it is. Now go out to the garage and get to work. You still have power tools, light, beer fridge, and radio! You have been freed of distractions to work on whatever project you have.

Scrolling down, while carefully building power behind a massive, yet potentially precarious fart, I read this and pooped a little. True story.

Perfect storm.
