Thorton Quigley stopped by and dropped this link to a night time satellite photo of the Northeast seven hours after the blackout began, which would have been 11pm Eastern, August 14, 2003. This is amazing!! Thanks, Thorton.
Here's an example of the power of RSS. I posted my "Bye, Bye VCR" entry at 6:16pm. Between 6:16pm and 6:26pm, Dave Winer picked it up in his news aggregator and linked to in on Scripting News. Dave's post made it into my news aggregator at 6:26pm. If that's not powerful, I don't know what is.
