It’s not the old-school thing I hate; it’s that it’s all form over function. It’s very hard to control with any precision.

By Sat 11pm for all of Manhattan, they're saying, but I leave at noon, so I'm really going for tomorrow!
Replying to @cscannella
UGH. I'm so sorry! I'll hope it's sooner.

That's awful, and must be incredibly frustrating. I'm 3 blocks south of the line in Manhattan and it makes me crazy.

Yeah, the literal reason is obvious. And I know the cash influx is important. But it’s shockingly tone-deaf, right now.

I made the big stair climb again. My door guys say power is slowly marching up the east side & that we shd be back on by midnight.
I can see traffic signals on 3rd Ave as far north as 20th or so. Please, please let the power keep marching this way...

Holy crap. Madison Square! Lights up to 30th or so!

Sooooo close.
Power on at Madison Sq means I have viable 3G again, so things are already better.

Of course I should note that I'm just note-taking and rough drafting. Anything more serious may require an actual computer.
