When it rains in Southern California, the internet goes kaput

We're in our second day of rain here in Socal, and it's already started to wreak havoc on our infrastructure. I'm trying to download a 10 MB zip file (from a speedy, reliable source), and the transfer rate is around 3.2 KB/sec. People, this is worse than dialup in 1995.

It's times like these that remind me to be thankful for the incredible improvements in internet speeds that I take for granted on a daily
basis.

About Cory Watilo

I am a product of the digital era. I watch all my TV on Hulu, read all my news on Netvibes, listen to all my music with Zune, and do all my blogging with Posterous.

When I'm not designing interfaces, coding websites or creating Posterous themes, you might find me at an Angels game, playing tennis, bowling, or working on some new business venture.

I've worked with some of the best people on the web, like the good folks at Posterous, 2Advanced, YSN, and Kajabi.

I like watching TV shows while I work. It helps me focus - really. Recently, I've been enjoying Better Off Ted, but other favorites include It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The IT Crowd, and the best of them all, Arrested Development.

And if you're wondering why there's a giant coffee cup in the middle of my page, it's because, more often than not, you can find me sipping a nice, smooth vanilla iced coffee at Starbucks.

Check out my work or get in touch.

You can find me on Twitter here.
