Blogging has come a long way since we first talked about it back in 2006 with Tech Tips 61-64. What started out more as a personal journal has morphed into a professional/business, media/journalism tool. Now, organizations like the New York Times and MTV use blog software to power the “Comments” sections and more on their web sites.

Electricity is a funny thing. When it’s flowing normally through the power lines and into our homes and electronic devices, it’s wonderful. But, sometimes, that electricity can turn against us.

How? A lightning storm, a bird or animal hitting a power line or transformer, or a freak accident. Any of those incidents, and many others, can cause a power surge, which is a spike in the amount of electricity that’s moving through the power lines into your home.
