There I was, playing cards at Last Call Poker, when all of a sudden, someone turned off half the internet.

It was as if thousands of websites cried out as one, and then…silence. Of course, my Mom & Pop ISP’s night tech support desk doesn’t really understand the complexities of internet peering relationship, and that’s sad, because if the answer is “Well, see, Qwest’s down for a good portion of the US tonight including Idaho, Georgia, the greater DC and Chicago areas,” then, I’ll be okay. But now, I want to know why Qwest is going down like a Dupont Circle Drag Queen leaving me with half an internet and no poker.

Bastards.
