Blown Transformer Pic
Al Billings has a picture of the blown transformer that caused Thursday’s power outage. That laundry truck must have ran into it really bad, considering it ripped it off its base:
Robots!
I dig the Mozilla Summit Poster:

Trapped, Part 2
What the heck? This morning, a laundry truck ran into the hotel’s power transformer, leaving the entire hotel out of power.
Now it’s (barely) running on emergency power (needless to say the Wifi is on that emergency power as well), while we are waiting for a replacement generator. Chances are though that due to the fantastic rock slide, it has to take the long route so that could take a while.
Good times.
Update: Since 2:30pm, the power’s back on. Yay.
Still Trapped
Update on the unlucky rock slide story: Apparently it’s going to be closed for five days, meaning we have to leave much earlier in order to take an alternative route to Vancouver.
I can’t exactly say I am looking forward to spending 7 instead of 3 hours in the bus 
At least I am not flying back straight to Pittsburgh on Friday, so at least it won’t be followed by another 8 hours or so of traveling.
Update: My bus was rescheduled to 3 am in the morning. Looks like I’m not going to go to bed that night and just sleep on the bus.
Update 2: Thank heaven somebody filed a bug on this: Can’t get out of Whistler — can’t be long until this gets fixed!
