Wow, my first week living in New York City and we have a very historic New York event- a citywide (well, multicitywide) blackout! I’ll have good memories of this one, it doesn’t seem like there was much of the lawlessness that occurred during that 70s blackout, and it probably wasn’t caused by terrorism (although that was the first reaction of many people when we first heard just how many cities were also without power - i mean, how can one event cause so much damage?) Walking down Broadway during the early hours of the outage was pretty cool. I’ve been impressed with the character of the people here, maybe one of the few good things to come from 911. Oh, and the candlelight parties on the stoops outside 115th St and the surrounding Columbia area were fun, plus we could actually see the stars from Morningside Park. Too bad all our orientation events got cancelled. I’m afraid to ride my elevator though… any stories from someone that was stuck in a lift or subway car?

Posted by: Anthony Rickey at August 15, 2003 04:02 PMWell, I drove home quickly to NJ, and by the time I got home all power had been restored to my house. Not too upset I missed out on hanging out on the stoops with you guys. I prefer the AC.

Customers who want to upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition must now fill
out a Microsoft survey online before they can order the bugfix/upgrade.
Question 15: In your opinion, what companies should Microsoft seek to
acquire in the coming year?
A. Disney. I'd like to see a cute animated movie starring Clippit the
Office Assistant.
B. CBS. I'd like to see a new line-up featuring must-watch shows like
"Touched by a Microserf", "Redmond Hope", "Everybody Loves Bill", "The
Late Show With Steve Ballmer", and "60 Minutes... of Microsoft
Infomercials",
C. Google. Microsoft could drastically improve the quality and performance
of this search engine by migrating it from Linux to Windows NT
servers.
D. Lowes Hardware Stores. Every copy of Windows 2000 could come bundled
with a coupon for a free kitchen sink or a free window!

Seduced, shaggy Samson snored.
She scissored short. Sorely shorn,
Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed,
Silently scheming,
Sightlessly seeking
Some savage, spectacular suicide.
