Two interesting things about this blackout:
it revealed the power of twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23darkto
and the live-blogging is amusing: http://torontoist.com/2009/01/power_out_in_west_end_possibly.php

Man that's a bummer.

Krupo's house was maybe half of one of those black pixels east of the park.

Stupid darkness. Power's still out.

Update: Power's back - yay!

It's pretty much summer here in LA. Just sayin.

Hehe. Yeah, I often like to point out to our frozen friends around the country and world that it may be winter here in SoCal, but we just had a nice 85 degree summer day.

If you're in LA why didn't you go to the SiftUp?!

Didn't hear about it until the videos popped up. I'm on the videosift for the videos, go figure. Maybe next time.

You better!

Why, how was this hijacked into being about SoCal instead of being about the ridiculousness we went through yesterday?
