#Sandy Aftermath Day 6 Supplemental: I'm hoping we may get power restored today. Still flooded here with a pump, but no power for it. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 03, 2012
#Sandy Aftermath Day 6 Supplemental: Hose for pump is set to go. Hand bailing seems like an act of futility now. Need power for pump. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 03, 2012
#Sandy Aftermath Day 6 Supplemental: Still no power. Hand bailing continues. Huge trees blocking roads & utility lines need clearing. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 03, 2012
#Sandy Aftermath Day 5 Supplemental: Reports of nearby towns having power restored had given me hope for mine. It proved to be false hope. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 03, 2012

Update #Sandy Aftermath Day 4 Supplemental: Tired. Still hand bailing water out. Tired. Local sewage facility had major failure. Tired. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 02, 2012
#Sandy Aftermath Day 5 Supplemental: Discovered cut near ankle. May had happened Monday. Hope it doesn't get infected from the flood water. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 02, 2012
#Sandy Aftermath Day 5: Still no power, heat, phones, etc. Very limited net connectivity. Still hand bailing water out. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 02, 2012
Update #Sandy Aftermath Day 3 Supplemental: I saw boats uplifted on to roads. Surreal. Heard that the Long Beach Boardwalk was destroyed. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 01, 2012
#Sandy Aftermath Day 24 Supplemental: Home is supposed to be a place you take comfort in, yet for me, it now has become a place I dread. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 21, 2012
Update #Sandy Aftermath Day 3: Still no power, heat, phones, little connectivity. Removing water slowly via a bucket. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 01, 2012
I still don't have reliable AT&T service since #Sandy despite their claims otherwise. Today I notice "AT&T DR" on my iPhone momentarily. ?? Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) November 20, 2012
Oh well. That "Illustrated Guide" to #DoctorWho isn't displaying as expected on my tumble log because it is not one whole graphic. Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) March 28, 2013

Myself and all parties concerned are okay after a minor car accident tonight. Just what I needed. Ugh. #fb Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) March 31, 2013
I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook started to use hashtags, only surprised that it took this long. #fb Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) March 15, 2013
Of course when skeuomorphism gets in the way of functionality or takes precedence in an app, then it is bothersome. #fb Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) February 17, 2013
As long as the desired functionality is there, skeuomorphism doesn’t really bother me. #fb Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) February 17, 2013

Sometimes mystery adds to a fictional character. Sometimes less is more. Not everything needs to be revealed…even after 50 years. #DoctorWho Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) March 01, 2013
I love 'engrish' in app descriptions: "Have you tired of taking yourself a photo and share it? Try self-portrait for some fresh air." #fb Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) February 27, 2013
Power has been restored. The outage was very local to my immediate area. It’s still very windy here though. We could lose it again. #fb Louis Trapani (@LouisTrapani) March 07, 2013
