Happy birthday, Brenda!
We have no snow here in NC. We get to play the "watch the hurricane" game for the next few days, but that's unlikely to affect much of anything inland here.

Isn't it a bit premature for the local weather boffins to be blathering on about Perfect Storms when it's freaking five days out?

It is, but I'm selfishly happy to see them use the phrase for an actual storm and not some random minor coincidence.

Five isn't even a perfect number.
DC seems to be right on the edge of Sandy. I'm pulling out my wishes for nasty storms in general. Either stay away, or hit us hard enough to shut everything down for a day or two. Preferably weekdays.
None of this in-between of slogging through things to get to work. Because I know me -- if the office is open, I'll be there.
It is almost the same as a perfect number.
An IO9 article that was trying to make a point based on an abstract by their clumsiest writer had that phrase in it--he said that 8.5 was almost the same number as 7, except he was saying that 8.5 was almost the same number as 7% which is a whole impossible ball of wax, given what he was working with.

Yes. That said, snor'eastercane!
I think that if you're somewhere where it's vaguely likely¹ an emergency might rob you of power, it never hurts to have a(n extra) car charger for your phone. It might be the only communication you got.
I think most of my family is on dwindling Blackberry batteries right now. I haven't checked what FEMA suggests in a while (I've got nothing but the phone charging...)
¹ That was our first direct hit since Gilbert, but still--likely enough
OMG, I had been doing pretty well considering the 7am meeting, but...whoa.
Don't people realise that when they come over to your desk to tell you they're on your con call and you're not, it means both of you are delayed in getting back on? Hmm. Judging practicality.
There's this chick on IO9 who really likes me.
That's all. She likes me. I always think it's weird when people do that.
