Well, recently today I noticed that Amazon blessed us with a wonder fail. It seems to me that their databases are unable to be accessed. As you see in my screenshot, nothing even shows up on the home page. If you search for a product, it neither has a name, or a price anymore. I don’t know how this is affecting AmazonS3. I was attempting to do some searching to quote prices on products, but I guess that can wait til tomorrow.

Anyone else experiencing this problem at Amazon today? If you needed a product today, what was your alternative to Amazon? Would love to hear your thoughts and comments below!

Now lets first say that this coffee was actually really good, so bummer point number 1. Secondly, my Blackberry Tour was right in the path of this coffee cups dumping of its wonderful coffee, bummer point 2. I instantly removed the battery and tried to dry off the phone, but it was already fried.

So no phone for me today and I won’t have my new one ’til tomorrow afternoon or whenever it arrives at work. THis is going to be a great time for me to learn how to not depend on my phone. For those of you that know me well, I use it ALOT. I have had months where I send and receive 22000 text messages, use loads of data, and am always on Twitter and Facebook.

Have you had to go without your phone or something you can’t seem to live with for a day or longer? I would love to hear your stories, because well all I have for communication is my Macbook and iPod touch. Thank God for internet! Lets hope the internet doesn’t go down like it did in a South Park episode recently. If it does, I know who to call ;) . Missed the episode? See it here.

Have a great day everyone!
