Last month was my rez-day, March. I joined in 2008 some time after Myst Online: Uru Live closed for the second time. Several of my friends from Uru were in Second Life, so I tried it. I liked it. I stayed.

I am one of those caught in the Great Southwest Blackout. Obviously I have power back.
It was interesting to start to realize what had happened. Being September and close to 9-11 concerns ran through my mind as the scope of the outage was revealed.
At home it was just power out. In the middle of the Beta Server User Group meeting chat stopped and my avatar was stuck in place. Then my battery backup alarm went off. Time to shutdown the computer. No big deal.
Went out to check the meter and look around to see if it was just me or the neighborhood. Neighbors were out checking there breakers and meters. My power comes in along an arterial street and it is not uncommon for traffic accidents to take out power for several hours. So, on a hot after noon (98F – 37C) it is time to get out and find some place with AC running and cold drinks.
