The lights are on one breaker and the outlets on another, so our computers go suddenly, disconcertingly black while around us everything appears normal.

More on disemvowelment
A Making Light reader has created a Movable Type plugin to perform the disemvowelment automatically. Holy shit, they've finally fired R.C. I don't remember an A&M without the man.
