The power went out at 11:54 this morning, and I called up FPL's good ol' 1-800-4-outage and was told by a pleasant machine voice that it detected my area by my phone number, knew of the problem, mentioned that it was affecting 1182 homes in the area, and would be fixed by 1:45. The system then offered to telephone me with updates on how things are going at different steps along the way. I accepted, but power came back up about 10 minutes later, so I guess it wasn't a big issue. The system called me about 20 minutes after that, assuring me that the power should be on, and to call them back if it's not the case. I think it's pretty groovy when automated stuff works so well.

Transforming Journey - covering the events in Pakistan. Using the power of burqas to get the job done, and (via oneeyedcat) I wonder how much of this is propaganda itself, or if she does suffer from Stockholm syndrome, or if she was just *really lucky*.

American Technology Corporation is on the cutting edge of audio developments. They make woofers and speakers... and, oh yeah, sonic bullets.
