Bloggers in New York and other cities affected by yesterday's blackouts — which, for some, are still in effect today — are posting first-hand accounts. Here's one from BoingBoing pal Gabe:
I was standing at the urinal in the Men's restroom here at work when the power shut off. Yeah, yeah, very funny, I thought. Who's fucking with the light switch? I finished up and fumbled outside back to my office and discovered that the whole building was without power.
From my office window, I can see the NYU dorm across the street. I saw a kid at the window, waved to him. He waved back. He pointed at his computer monitor, then drew his hand horizontally across his neck, the international sign for 'kill him', or 'you're dead meat', or something. Anyway, I pointed to my monitor and did the same thing. So I told the people in my office that the dorm didn't have power either.
