So right now I've been reading that Egypt just cut off the entire Internet from all its people, to stop people organizing the violent protest they are doing to get rid of Mubarek and his son he wants to pass the government on to. Worrying. Governments don't want to fix things; they want to keep people from communicating.
I can read this because five electric co. trucks just restored power after 35 hours -- we were out because of the bad East Coast storm. But we have a generator and it has a "wild card" plug that we can plug into freezers, computer power strips, etc. so we watched video last night in the dark lit by the open woodstove and earlier I recharged all the little devices at once -- readers, iPad, fluorescent lantern, iPhone, laptop -- we've been keeping up with the news using the Fluent News app on the iPad.
