Nope, not for me. Whoever you use for internet might be having routing issues related to the lighting storm that just went through. Ourbuilding lost power but the generators kicked in.

I'm having trouble connecting to even google.com. It loads, but it takes a looooooooong time.

it's back but slow for me now. just did a traceroute and after this:

xe-2-0-0.a20.tokyjp01.jp.ra.gin.ntt.net (61.213.162.110) 159.903 ms xe-0-0-0.a20.tokyjp01.jp.ra.gin.ntt.net (61.213.162.238) 186.616 ms 175.318 ms

is where it gets hung up. does google traffic usually go to tokyo?

I am in Dallas and this message appears in my google chat window:

We're experiencing technical difficulties that may prevent your chats from being sent.

My gmail appears to be working though...

Either down or severely degraded service. Normally it's a problem with their load balancers. Different people go to different data centers but this looks more wide spread. Even www.google.com is really slow or not loading.

They be broken.

The entire interwebs appear to be crawling because of so many google hosted ads.
