The blogosphere echos like a public broadcasting pledge drive
with reminders about Wikipedia’s fund drive. The one above is from Bill Ives.
("Power corrupts. Power failure corrupts absolutely." It’s finally happened. I go to use Wikipedia and it’s down completely because of a power failure. I guess I am the improbability nexus. Either that or that Wikipedia server guy should be chained to his desk so he can never travel and always watch over the servers lest his absence jinx the system. I could make a joke about Wikinews getting a scoop on the story, but that just won’t be funny. Don’t worry: the pledge page should still be working while the servers are down. Addenda: more on Slashdot, 2/24: Wikinews’ report)
