Dear Amazon (and all other cloud vendors) – not an option in this part of rural America, sorry

Argh, 2:30AM. You’d think I had downed a 12-pack of Dew or something

It’s 1AM and I’ve now collected all the golden pineapples in Angry Birds Rio levels 1 & 2

Stupid headache has ruined most of my grand plans for today 🙁
