Sandy bears down

Good luck to my friends and acquaintances on the eastern seaboard, especially those of you in the mid-Atlantic states. Sandy looks like it's going to be a beast.

The New York Times' Lede blog has ongoing coverage broken down state by state. Of course, that's only going to be useful to you if you have power and WiFi or functioning cell phone towers and the odds of either in the affected areas are low, but ... think good thoughts.

Stay safe.
