Speaking of missing, Bill Watterson, creater of Calvin and Hobbs, is currently not being seen. That didn’t stop James Renner from trying.

Jorn Barger, editor of Robot Wisdom, is missing. Have you heard from him?

I’ve had several people email my phone today. Unfortunately, Cingular’s GPRS system (the method the phone uses to get online) is down today. As it was yesterday. So… I know I have emails waiting, but I don’t know what they are or who sent them. By the way, this has turned out to be a pretty neat trick. Here’s what I do: phone@ericwagoner.com is actually in intermediate email address. Any mail sent there gets forwarded to a second (secret) emaill account that I can access with the phone’s email software. Another copy gets forwarded to the phone’s SMS emaill address (provided by Cingular). So, I get “paged” with a short excerpt of the email, and can then download the full text at my lesure. Works great, assuming there’s an internet signal. Interestingly, a friend in California reports that T-Mobile’s GPRS system is out of service there, too.

But for the hand of fate and a veering right instead of left, I very nearly became a statistic yesterday. Mistress Panther witnessed the aftermath.
