Ow. Water please.

After reading last night's post, can I just clarify that I don't think I'm better than everyone? I just have no patience for "the masses". I exclude most people I know from this class: I'm very picky about the friends I keep. I've got a great collection of talented and thoughtful compatriots.

So hey, on another note, did you know that most of India and the Middle East are having a massive internet outage? Yes sir, many of our coveted internet tubes are underwater and in some places can be easy broken by an unlucky meeting with a ship's anchor. Guardian Unlimited has a great article on the situation with a cool map and everything.

I can't cry too many tears for India, who has been stealing my industry's jobs for the last several years (I really hope some of those big outsourcers are squirming in their seats). Maybe we'll get lucky and some of the panicky world of public companies will decide to have their filings done in North America again. Maybe...
