While I was at work today, John was on the web and even on the phone, researching replacement parts for my '65 Bug. I need an engine cover and a new windshield and he just loves to wheel and deal about such things.

Yesterday one of my company's buildings was hit by a rolling blackout. Today we were all hit by a network-crippling virus. Combined with the hostile economic environment, it's difficult to see how any dotcom can possibly survive. It feels like the last few days of the Cretaceous and I'm a parasite that can only live in the gut of a Triceratops dinosaur. Still, there's plenty of black humor going around. When, with the help of the deployment dude, I finally saw something I'd been fixing actually working as planned on the site, I said (via AOL IM), "Bring on the rolling blackouts!"
