I posted a link to this guy’s blog yesterday and I have been caught in its grips ever since. I still don’t understand how the guy maintains an internet connection, though one commenter mentioned that fiber only needs power at its access points, so if the fiber isn’t cut then as long as there is power (and the guy has a generator) then connectivity is unbroken.
The violence and anarchy is extremely disheartening. This is the kind of stuff that kills my faith in humanity. This is the time to rise above the catastrophe and help your fellow man, yet the New Orleans refugees have in large part reverted to savagery.
The world needs more people like the man writing the blog. It is absolutely heroic that he would maintain his position to keep his company online, knowing how his clients count on him. As well, I am counting on his perspective on the “real story” inside New Orleans. While not a journalist, for whatever reason his story has conveyed far more to me than all the sensationalized headlines and rumor-mongering that cnn has spewed.
Don’t get me started on Anderson Cooper. What a melodramatic turd that guy is.
