Short-Lived Power Outage
Well, it happened again. But unlike last time, this time the power was out for only about four hours and the temperature outside was in the high 60s, not 110+. I had just started to replay the Halo 3 single player campaign on Legendary. I guess I'll find out soon enough if anything was saved.
This time we were a little better prepared and had a flashlight (with batteries), some halloween candles (and matches), and one laptop which had enough juice to show a short movie to the boys before sending them back to bed.
I was also pretty jazzed to have my iPhone, since I was able to update my status on Twitter and Facebook, check the PGE website (and call for more outage info), take this picture, and watch a couple episodes of Seinfeld I had moved to my iPhone for just this kind of situation. I also had a morning alarm set just in case. Have I mentioned how much I'm digging this iPhone?
The only bummer was that I figured I'd still be able to complete the blog posts that I had nearly ready for posting, but for some crazy reason, I wasn't able to login to my site. I guess I'll need to look into that...and maybe revisit BlogMailr since email is still working pretty well.
