Kinda miffed at OhmConnect right now: We put our fridge on a smart plug so that they can turn it off during high load periods. We had a power outage last night during said high load period. Refrigerator never came back on. I just rolled out the fridge and yanked the smart plug, but this seems like a pretty bad failure mode.

Started a new podcast (Derelict) on the walk to work yesterday, and just not feeling grimdark. I don't mind peril, but... So looking for fiction podcasts with heart and humor. Examples: Where The Stars Fell, Unwell, Kingmaker Histories, Amelia Project, Super Suits, Starship Q Star, Murder on Sex Island, Moonbase Theta Out, Midnight Burger, Girl in Space, Fawx & Stallion, Alba Salix, The Strange Case of Starship Iris, Unwell...

Mad props to the PG&E crew chasing the short circuit around my neighborhood last night for 7 hours... The log of a outage update text messages last night, with changing numbers of affected customers tells a story... The Know Before You Grow forum went on without slides, glad it was an in-person speaker.
