Still Here

I know it's been awhile since I last posted something. That was primarily because there was nothing interesting to share. Now I have something interesting but I've also been left in a brown out!
That's right, I'm a victim of the storm that hit the Northeast US, Sandy. I am luckier than some though, as I'm just experiencing a brown out so there is some power, but usually not enough to power a computer. I'm posting this from my phone, so I'm going to keep it short and end with this:
As wonderful as fluorescent lights may seem to be, they are mostly useless in a brown out. Incandescent lights however work fine at half voltage! Bring me back my bulbs so I can see in emergency situations. Protecting the environment is great, but protect the people too. Besides, fluorescent lights that burn out during a brown out are hazardous waste, but most people just throw them into landfills. Pretty sure that is worse for everyone/thing involved; humans and Nature.
