Oh Mecha, it was horrible. →[More:] I got to work this morning and found out that the internet was out. I desperately clicked Mecha, Meta, NYT...nothing. nada. I still got my email though *. o_0? Then I tried to call a friend but my cell phone had no reception. ruh roh.

With nothing to distract me, I was left with no other choice but to do work. After a couple of productive hours, I came up with a pretty cool hypothesis to explain the non-linearity in my time series. Go me!

So I decided to take a nice hike through the redwoods (despite the rain) to get myself a greasy slice of pizza. nom. Once I got there, I couldn't pay for it because the cc machines were down and the atm didn't work. bizarre. So I just hiked back, ate my granola bar and got down to some more work.

On the way home, I stopped at a bar to reward myself for all the useful things I did and that's when I found out. Someone cut a set of fiber optic cables thus crippling all communication in 3 bay area counties.

All day long I missed out on the witty tweets. posts on Mecha. Pony requests on Meta. breaking news. Oh the horror.

* turns out I still got email from anyone on my network.
